Terrible performance, right when we needed a good one.
We just don't have the defence we need really. Okay was dropping so deep to pick the ball up from the CH's he was level with them. Trouble is, that leaves just Mowatt in the middle and easy for the boro players to push on and make it difficult. Then eventually the ball gets wide to Townsend and they'd just rush him and we'd lose the ball with one of his 'can't be bothered' flicks up the line to nobody. Trouble is, if Okay doesn't drop in, then the 2 CH's aren't great at getting the ball forward.
Throw in a BTA performance at the other end that was an even bigger disgrace it's no surprise we couldn't get anything going. I realise BTA wasn't meant to be first choice, but he's got to be doing more for the team. It seems to me that our midfield are a bit reluctant to give him the ball at times because he loses possession so often. Throw in ridiculously lazy efforts like trying to score from the half way lane and I hope we go back to try a midfielder up front instead.
