Middlesbrough 1 - Swansea 0
Unimpressive from Swansea, no threat up front, in fact we were pretty hopeless all round. We could have played all night and not scored, a problem since last May and nothing done about it.
Do not judge on pre-season friendlies they say, but a run of defeats and today’s weak loss say different.
We were losing and Key kept on passing the ball back when in space, so frustrating, both wing-backs ran out of steam second-half. Inoussa came on and was beating his marker but his final pass poor.
Alarm bells ringing already?
Nothing much in Boro yet we conceded from a set piece, 6’2” Fry beating 6’4” Burgess in the air.
