    Boro passing it about, Bangura in acres of space, eventually gets dragged down by Knibbs near the tunnel, and ref awards a free kick

    Gilbert looks classy!
    Surely not the same Gilbert that many on here said we shouldn't have had any interest in resigning in the summer?

    Early days but why is Apter not getting a look in over Campbell?
    Almost half way through the season - not early days any more. Apter looked brilliant earlier in the season going forward. Odd to not give him a chance

    Free kick flicked on by Gilbert, but goes wide.
  • Feels like Boro have about 3 extra men on the pitch.

    Attitude surely has to be playing a part in training for Jones to remain unimpressed.

    We look like we're waiting for them to them score.

    We just need to keep this at 0-0 for as long as we can. Hope we can get a counter etc.

    He needs to change to 5 at the back, and now

    Far too much space out wide on both flanks

    The only reason we're not a couple of goals down is because of a combination of Kaminski and poor finishing. This won't last for long the way we are playing.

    This formation is clearly not working. So change something!!

    I’ve never seen a LB and RB have as much time and space as theirs. It’s really really worrrying.

    Boro switch it about nicely, Bangura crosses in and Macca hoofs it over the bar from inside the 6 yard box.

    Good clearance from Gillesphey, but out for a corner

    Difficult one for Jones at the moment, as we go back to a five man defence, and we potentially invoke the performances that saw Southampton and Stoke take such early leads - Instead when we reverted to a back four in those games, we at least looked more organised.
  • Lord, how are we still level?

    This could be another Southampton.

    Tactical injury 

    I wonder if refs have twigged this ploy yet ?

    Ball pinging about inside our box from the corner, eventually they shoot into the side netting. Kaminski is down clutching his ankle (tactical?)

    This is very painful viewing. 😩
  • Kaminski with the fake injury I guess.

    Hopefully that means a tactical change.
  • Kaminski "injured". LOL!

    Bit worrying if Jones doesn't change this. Clear to see there's so much space out wide.

    It really is, the last 6 games we've started terribly, the formation is wrong and all over the place. Jones is getting it horribly wrong every time, I know we've got injuries but still...
