He's also getting the square root of **** all assistance from Semenyo who's playing pretty fast and loose with the "back" element of playing right wing back.

Yes Vyner's making errors, but he's being properly exposed because we've got a very forward-thinking player in the full back role.

I think Vyner is getting sucked out of position regardless - which he shouldn't be. Check here for example: https://streamja.com/20edw

Right out into the midfield for no reason. That's on him, no the wingback. No need for him to do that at all.

Howson pulling all the strings in m/f, we need to get one of our midfielders to pick him up

Good player Howson - somebody we could do with..

To be fair to Vyner, his biggest problem today is having Semenyo as his RWB. 

His biggest problem is having a head rush and not sticking to his position

Let's see if Boro now target our left.

I said he's making errors. He is. But where's his right back in that clip? Jauntily jogging back in the foreground, miles away. Semenyo needs to see that his RCB is out of position and cover for him.

But when your RWB is nowhere to be seen, he’s got two positions to cover. Which does he stick to?

Haven’t seen that. Semenyo was RWB for first 25 mins then they switched. Semenyo kept drifting over to the left side I’ll grant you, but that was part of the problem.

The issue is though that he's been too far infield or dashed forward into midfield - not that he's been too far right to cover Semenyo. As Tinns just said, he's now doing the same and dragging Weimann over in the process to cover the gap.

I'm sure he'll sort it, he's been good recently.

With Wigan 2 up at Swansea, we could do with these points atm

Stats don’t look pretty but the score line is the main one 

[old_eastender]

Another great save from Max, as we are pulled apart again

[City_USA]

Nice save again from Max

[The Original OTIB]

Max again

[Spike]

Anyone who thinks O'Leary has no place in this side, he's the only reason we're leading atm.

I’m feeling done in watching, it’s not good for the blood pressure 

[bexhill reds]

Good entertainment, even if some of our defending is comical at times. We definitely need another goal, and I suspect we’ll get one… especially as Boro have just hit the post
