Matchday thread Middlesbrough v WBA 19 Sept 2025

[stargazer_1962]

Radio questioned if it was a foul throw (not keeping both feet on floor)

[Bombers right foot]

Season after season it?s the same, concede poor goals and yet again f all up front, 68% possession creating nothing

[SwedishBaggie]

Phillips should not have challenged for that ball, and Heggebo can?t defend, and can?t score.

[Bombers right foot]

Changes needed at half time, choose any from Heggebo? Molumby, Mowatt , Wallace or Diakite, terrible team selection, Corberanesque

[Omegstrat6]

It might be true that if you keep the ball, the other side cannot score but we all know that possession is far from everything-as the Derby game showed. Boro are always going to be dangerous so cannot just try and park the bus with them.

Not incisiveness enough and far too slow moving the ball forward with too many sideways and backward passes. Not going to score and even rescue a point like this.

[Bombers right foot]

Campbell had turned into Furlong, first pass is backwards

[TipperaryBaggie]

We must play a proper left back in the future. Styles is having another abysmal game, often getting caught out and giving the ball away frequently.

[billsbest]

We are never going to score with Heggebo and Wallace up front. Really worries me that we have another idiot manager who can't see the obvious.

[baggieal]

At the game and many supporters around me agree the selection was wrong!! Who is the manager?

Everyone can clearly see Wallace has no legs - Styles is poor in that position and Mowatt and Molumby offer zero creativity.

Bring on Johnston as it was shocking dropping him! Bring on Maja and also bring on Collyer!

Bostock is a better player than Wallace FFS

Not judging Mason yet but his lack of experience is showing!

Boro not even that good!

[SwedishBaggie]

Price must score there, great delivery from Wallace.

And, that?s our big problem - scoring goals.

Wallace has been quite good today. Two best chances came from him.

[Omegstrat6]

To be fair, Wallace has put a few decent crosses into the box but no-one to take advantage of them. Heggebo holds the ball up well but if we want to be able to take advantage of any chances created, think we need Maja on. As for Isaac, the more I see of him, the more I begin to think that he has the same issue as Fellows-obviously talented and can produce moments of magic but too inconsistent. Changes sooner than later now.

[SwedishBaggie]

Game over?

[Bombers right foot]

All on Mason, what a debacle

[Omegstrat6]

Rather against the run of play at this moment but Boro show us how it should be done. 2-0. Dominating possession is pointless if we are toothless up front. Johnston and Collyer on now but still think Maja should join them before its too late.
