Made enough chances to win today, they had one shot on target and the 2nd half breakaway. Need to be more clinical in front of goal to win games.

Crofts was pretty woeful which is unusual for him
Emnes was the best player on the park today. He did everything CMS didn't.
Poyet this time. Set out too defensively. Team was pretty much as expected except for the lack of a pacy winger and with Hammond in who is fast becoming a liability. Worse, when it didn't work he took too long changing it. Every boss in this league now knows what the game plan is.

I thought he was the best player at The Amex last season.
He wasn't as good today, but he still scored. I wish he was ours.

That. Strange how we had half a team of midfielders but no one about that area in the first. Half.

This , she should have done a better job at blighting the north-east for a couple of generations.
And who picked the team?
How can you blame the ref for out team selection & tactics?
You have to blame the boss sadly.
The goal was down to Barnes, Hammond and Bridge letting him shoot in the first place, their best player & only dangerous one was given too much time all game, it was shameful.
The players just didn't operate like a team, the passing game was woeful and movement off the ball was lazy again.
When El-Abd has to carry the ball ten/fifteen yards into their half cos the entire midfield are hiding behind their markers, you know there's a problem.
CMS was too eager again today and kept creeping towards their goal, this allowed Boro's back line to sit deep and then no-one had any space to run into.
we didn't even bother having long shots too pick of rebounds.
Instead we played it out wide and crossed it at Barnes & Macca, who had no chance.
Exactly like Walsall at home back at Withdean, we had no idea what we were doing.
We didn't play "our Football" this week, it was just hopeful possession trying to avoid making a mistake.
On paper we've got good players but they seem a bit lost on the field and it's up to Gus to fix that, personally I'm very suprised and deeply disappointed the Gus hasn't fix it yet. I hope he can and soon.
