I accept that our squad lacks quality and I didn't expect us to get anything from today's game however, I did think that Critchley might change his tactics and try something different.
Unfortunately, Critchley like Warburton seems tactically inept and as I've said so many times about Warbs, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result".
I'm now not sure what's more suicidal, bringing in a new manager or keeping Critchley.
Neil Warnock 2 games in charge of Huddersfield 1 game won already See where I’m heading with this The danger of critchley is yes not a lot of teams are going to beat a in form confident Boro at the moment But are we capable of beating the teams around us and I personally don’t think with our current manager we can And if that’s the case,we will be playing league one football next season

Boro was a tough ask And even a Beale set up would of struggled But it’s the teams around us that worry me That’s the games we have to win to stay up Critchley isn’t capable of winning those games As you said northwest QPR isn’t a good fit for him simple as that I personally think they will stick with critchley And take a massive gamble he will come good They’ve put themselves in this position and no way out of it now

I have yet to have the delight of watching another defeat, but I am assuming the third goal was a case of the Rs taking the risk of pushing forward in an effort to equalise? If so, I have no worries about that - even if the same happened as against Sunderland! Losing 2-0 or 3-0 then made little difference if they are fighting and the luck is against them. What I want to see is the Rs fighting to turn things around and a manager working with them to achieve that result. Currently I believe only the former holds true! What does NC add to the mix? How is he setting them up and what is he saying to motivate them?

The Chair free kick was a very smart goal that caught out the goalkeeper and the Middlesbrough defence who were expecting a cross.

I am looking forward to seeing that kick then (at least) stoatey! I see WLS rated Chair's efforts at '5' only, despite scoring a goal. Others, such as Dickie and Adomah were awarded a '6' in comparison.... They were criticising Chair for not coming back to assist defending, but perhaps he was under orders to stay up for this game? Either way, a lowly 5 for the only goalscorer seems mean!

Chair didnt play well as he can yesterday but he was better than a lowly 5. As we often say it all about opinions and I think 5 is a bit harsh.
Illias knows he's our main man and sometimes he can forget he's part of a team and tries to do too much. One week he can't score from the spot the next he scores from 30 yards. Of course he has his weak points and needs to be more aware of team mates in better positions, and make sure he tracks back etc., but if he did those things then he'd already be a Premiership player.
