'A scandal'; 'no quality': Middlesbrough fans fume after Hull City steal a vital three points

Middlesbrough fans have reacted to the defeat to Hull City

Mailik Wilks’ injury time winner sentenced Boro to a 2-1 defeat in a vital game at the foot of the Championship table – despite Neil Warnock’s side having dominated large spells of the game.

And it’s lapses in concentration at the back and a lack of cutting edge in front of goal that had Boro fans irritated on social media following the game.

Here’s what they were saying:

@ryanboro99 said: “Lewis Wing couldn't pass a parcel today. Johnson very poor. I think we are finished”

@Steve___Brown added: “If we don’t beat QPR we are down no way we are picking up more than 1 win from Millwall onwards”

@paulistapark commented: “For #Boro to have spent what we have and have that little quality in final third is a scandal. It is truly astonishing. Hull were awful and managed to beat us. They won’t win again this season”

@Jonisim tweeted: “Don’t stop the cross. Don’t win the first header. Don’t win the second header. Johnson doesn’t clear the danger. Should be ‘killing’ ourselves to hold on to the point again a team down there with us. Shocking. #Boro”

@donkeydice posted: “Some positives, but let’s face it it’s slight errors at both ends of the pitch that are costing us. Nobody taking responsibility, and Johnson isn’t a left back”

@ste_wilkin added: “That ones for everyone who thought we were automatically safe the moment we got Warnock, still same players with no quality, will be an interesting last few games, this club simply can not afford to go down.”

@MartinMcC86 said: “Some of the decision making there, and basic basic things we got wrong. You just knew a Hull winner was coming. Absolutley the architects of our own downfall.”

@OrdinarySmog tweeted: “Hope didn’t last long. Awful game, worse result.”

@Kwoshdj posted: “#Boro different appetite tonight. Felt that we didn’t give 100% and a few way off the pace. Hopefully Warnock rockets a few of them.”
