Agreed. Preston home was almost as bad as Boro. We looked the most creatively inept I have seen us in years. 40 more hours and we wouldn't have scored.

What happens when you insist on spunking £11m on a goal hanger like Rhodes

Our problems may come back at PNE on Saturday as they will be difficult to beat. Most sides managed by Simon Grayson are very well organised and know their job playing to their limitations.. Just hope CH gets it right and out thinks him, which I think he will.
“I think today everybody in Middlesbrough will be happy because everybody wanted to play with two strikers and we played two today so maybe everybody is happy even when we have lost the game.”
Asked if the persistent talk of 4-4-2 was annoying, he added: “No, because for me the main thing is to try and win the games and today I decided to play with two because I thought it was the best thing and we are going to play more times with two. Again, if I have made the people happy playing with two strikers when we have lost the game it’s good for them.”
Wow. Toys/pram much ?
Looks like the pressure is getting to Karanka. Never in a million years would Hughton come up with an outburst like that.
Karanka's getting Karanky - sounds like Clement did just before he got the chop. Its amazing how managers of "big" clubs get so caught up with the bullshit that surrounds the club.

9 points from the last 24 points for Boro is hardly automatic promotion form is it ?.
No wonder Cranky Karanka is lowering his expectations after last nights defeat at Blackburn.

Yes just examined their home record it's pretty good, we will have done a excellent job to return with three points up there. But we've only lost two away this season so there is good hope at least.

Kayal suspended and Stephens was injured if I remember correctly.
Yeah sorry....'missing' rather than 'rested'.....
Kayal and Stephens. Which felt like ALL of the team out. Crofts and Ince in the middle was painful.
And we also played the last 15 minutes with 10 men after Bong was injured
