Great play from Sakamoto but a heavy first touch from Wright.

 

[Seymour_East]

Terrible first touch Wrighty

 

[Nick]

Worried about making a mistake at the back and giving them a goal.

Trying then, ends up with a corner to them.

 

[Marty]

Collins has gone to shit past few games

 

[Seymour_East]

What the f…

 

[Marty]

Collins did well

 

[Nick]

Fucking about again but Collins with 2 great saves.

Did us down our Right. They should have scored.

 

[Cov98]

What a save Collins.. he's been a bit suspect so far this game but two very good saves there

 

[wingy]

Decent stop.

 

[jordan210]

We are a bit shakey at the back

 

[ptr]

Collins needs to come out and get one of these corners.

 

[Sick Boy]

Great saves

 

[shepardo01]

Sounds like we have started sloppily and are under the cosh...

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Keep defending well - then get a foothold back in the game. At least this 'Boro spell should wake us up.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Great double save from collins

 

[Fysnkysc]

Back foot here or what jesus.

 

[stupot07]

Great saves by Collins.

We're under the cosh a bit and being too passive.

Why dont we stick Ohare and Saka on halfway?

We head the ball out and it just goes straight to them.

Radio describing it as a "shaky 5 minutes".

 

[Johnnythespider]

Collins making up for going wandering earlier

Never understood having everyone in the box for a corner. The amount of times we go to clear and there's no fucker to clear it to and we just invite pressure again

 

[StrettoBoy]

That team pumps Swansea 3-0

The way it's going at the moment it will be thumped 3-0 by Middlesbrough

Still early days but we need to up our game.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

We’re lacklustre at the moment. Like how we ended vs Swansea.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This bringing everyone back for corners nonsense is doing my nut in

 

[skyblu3sk]

Collins making up for going wandering earlier

And for putting it straight in to touch which gave them the chance to attack.

 

[Tommo1993]

Guess we’re waiting until second half.

 

[LastGarrison]

Definitely riding our luck.

 

[Nick]

It's only a matter of time if we keep like we are.

 

[stupot07]

The pitch looks really heavy and slow.

Need to keep composure here silly fouls like that.

 

[ptr]

Binks and Thomas need to stop giving away stupid fouls.

Collins did well

How quickly things can change !

 

[Esoterica]

Knocking the ball around nicely at times but still way too flat in our lines. Middlesbrough are defending quite deeply, I'm guessing to try and neutralise Wright's pace over the top, and are getting their entire team back behind the ball quickly, pressing and then trying to catch us on the break.

It's almost 4-2-4 from us, not enough movement up front, not enough early progressive passing options resulting in us being too slow to pass the ball forwards and then going sideways and backwards. Really missing that creative midfielder.

Our right hand side is having a mare, especially MVE
