Not posted much this season, but a few observations on Boro game. As I agree with a lot of what Rich says, I'll just say where my thoughts differ.
Becchio: Infuriates me at times. I was still berating him for poor control, when he rescued it, prodded it out to Johnson and smashed in the cross. Rich, I kow you don't think he's much cop, but he is probably the forward we have at challenging in the air and closing down defenders. Seems to be the best partner for Somma to my mind, at least until Paynter is fit. Centre Backs: I thought you were a bit harsh on them in that they looked quite solid to me on Saturday. It helped that Boro had no pace at all up front, must be why they've been so poor, and only started to threaten a) when we had to reorganise on the left and b) when Lita came on. I thought Hughes was equally to blame for the goal, just back off their full-back, who was given enopugh time to measure the cross. Because there was no pressure on the ball, the rest of the defence couldn't afford afford to step up, and made it easy for Boyd to meet the the crosss Connolly: No World beater, but probably the best option we have at Right Back. McCartney looks to be the best left-back we've had for some time, but half of one match can be deceiving. Lastly Faye, I thought he was very effective. Firstly he is a holding midfielder, so doesn't venture too far into the attacking third. Secondly if he does get caught ahead of the ball, ahe actually sprints back to get goal-side, then either goes to try and win the ball or track an opposition player. Kilkenny, not being naturally inclined that way does none of those things, and always has to make it back from about 10 yds further forward to start with. He just seem to plod back, never really getting there. Just my view of things.
