I know Boro are crap - but look what happens when we actually have a midfield! 

Makes the last few fixtures all the more frustrating.

Yeah I agree. 352 has been an obvious change we needed to do for at least six weeks...

It's better for Gallagher, Brereton, Morton, Travis, Brittain, Pickering

It would be remiss of me not to mention that was a fine strike from Gally. For all his shortcomings he can hit a ball.

He's having a fabulous game.

his major shortcoming is that he`s not a wide player,despite what our last 2 managers think

[roverandout]

Wharton booked? For what

[ItsRoverZ]

A little worried about BBD ..seems to lack composure right now? Confidence thing?

I know Phillips is seen as the crown jewel, but Adam Wharton plays championship football like he’s won Champions Leagues and World Cups. He needs very carefully managing and needs to understand that this is important, but if we can keep him on this trajectory he could easily be a Jude Bellingham type sale one day. 
 

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL SAM GALLAGHER!!

How did that work out for Birmingham?

I think you mean he needs to be carefully managed so he can be at the centre of our midfield when we're back in the PL. 

[BigBar]

Players played in their natural positions and a midfield that can compete 👍

[roverandout]

Steffan is an awful keeper 

[BigBar]

Giles is a player. We really wasted him here, he would be such an asset in this team. 

[West Yorks Rover]

Reading losing.

nothing against pickering,who`s ok defensively but giles offers miles more going forward

[Exiled_Rover]

Shit refereeing that - Muniz has deliberately stood on Kaminski there.

[roverandout]

Boro cheating now. Cheating bastards 

[chaddyrovers]

Travis out for the Sunderland game

Even the boro commentators were not impressed with that. Stood on him

I'm not a massive Pickering fan but have given him credit where it's due the last 2 games but overall he's too slow and limited. Giles is a machine.

He’s a right winger according to Tony

[WacoRover]

Travis gonna sit a couple games now

Sadly he can't defend, which is why they keep loaning him out to Championship teams despite his obvious quality going forward.

Fair point pal. 

[roverandout]

Boro caretaker looks like a Russian mafia

[Tugay Et Labore]

This formation really plays to our strengths. Brittain has some freedom to get forward. Our two ball playing centre mids allow for Travis to concentrate on battling. The tall strikers can actually play as strikers instead of being expected to be nippy wingers.

 

Adam Wharton has a coolness on the ball that I don’t think can be taught. He needs more playing time as he can really transform how we approach games this season.

[islander200]

Get a third and get Garrett on for Travis 

[BigBar]

Nothing cheap now. Need to be smart and disciplined, can't offer them a route back into the game by switching off. Seen it too many times.
