Very good performance and I was a bit worried for 20 minutes that second half but we dug in and got a well deserved 3 points.
Picking up on the comments above.
I agree about Struijk and have said it for a while now that he looks rushed and lacks composure at times. A Kyle Bartley type at the back would do my nerves a lot better.
Meslier yes did have a much better game but it was pointed out by Michael Bridges on LUTV that he allowed the Boro attacker to isolate him for their goal that personally I didn`t think he could stop it but Bridges did.
Wober whilst decent isn`t a LB as much as Ampadu isn`t a RB.
Aaronson despite falling over a few times after getting brushed off the ball had I think his best game.
Joseph should have scored 2 easily and I'm not sure what he brings at the moment other than he`s good at trying to close players down.
For me the top 4 last night were James, Tanaka, Rothwell and Byram in that order.

I didn't think Joseph was great, he lookedlikehe was lacking sharpness, but it's clear his profile is more like what we need. He occupies defenders and is much better at creating space for others than Piroe. Aaronson, in particular looks much better when Joseph is upfront than he does with Piroe.
For all the criticism Farke gets for allegedly being a rubbish coach, he's worked wonders with Dan James and turned him into such a decisive player in the final third.


Yep, agree totally about Farke. Deserves huge credit.

It was noticeable at the game last night that a section of our supporters were happy to jump on Aaronson’s back when he made a mistake. This maybe a hangover from him going elsewhere last season. This behaviour from certain supporters is both strange and hypocritical considering they idolise and chant a players name that actually refused to play for the team while trying to orchestrate a move away from the club. It’s almost like Gnonto’s treacherous behaviour never occurred. Aaronson, alongside Piroe, is a luxury player in this team. He will lose the ball, make bad decisions, and at times look lightweight, but he’s regularly included because he’s better for the balance of the team than other reputedly better players. His work rate is phenomenal, and unlike others that always want the ball into feet he is prepared to run in behind defences and stretch the game. I trust Farke’s judgement on the team shape and dynamic, and if that judgement is based on the theory that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, Aaronson’s inclusion is fine by me.

I totally agree Tad.
That ball off Wobers head came at some pace and I`m not sure if he had stayed on his line which Bridges is saying, he still wouldn`t have kept it out.
Hats off to both Meslier and Aaronson who as you know I`m not their biggest fans.
Both had their best game by far.
I`ve always preferred Piroe to Joseph but was hoping Joseph like Joffy would be our answer.
Also surprised he`s not played Bamford yet, another hero of mine!! :wink:

I think it's obvious bamford is done at leeds.
piroe offers so much quality on the ball but we need a pressing CF as well.
a conundrum for farke.
been to every home game bar burnley, and more than a few away, and boro were the best we've played imo. and we overcame them really well.
but we need to kick on. a run of 5 or 6 really winnable games before it's the big guns again.

Seems discussions are taking place with the Israeli CF which shows the club has concerns.
If we can offload Joffy or Bamford I think we will get him or someone in to play upfront.
