I have only seen this clip of film but Middleton seemed to fail to keep up with the goal scorer for the first goal.
What was he doing when the second goal went inat the far post? he failed to pick the goal scorer up!
I admit you don't get a full picture watching this clip but he wasn't doing the biz for me.
Perhaps someone can comment on the rest of his game.

Looked like he was running in treacle for the first!!

It's funny how different angles can give you different perspectives. From my seat half way down the SS I was questioning why Butler didn't close the gap between the defender for a run that seemed to go on forever. From the replay Middleton has got in a bad position and has been clearly been done for pace.
They're both partly at fault, they should have managed the situation better. There was a lot of finger pointing after that goal.
-
Middleton had a very poor game today. He gave the ball away in important places on more than one occasion and looked lost at times.
I also thought Conor Grant was poor, and to have two under-performing midfield players contributed to a bad result today.
-
first goal should never have happened! lob it into the the box or shoot instead of fanny arseing about with it which is something we are all too good at

Their equaliser - were we appealing for handball or offside?

But that was.a surging.run , a fast break and great goal

I really like that type of goal but it clearly showed Middleton's lack of pace. He was chasing a player running with the ball and was lost in his wake,not good, I don't think HM will play in the same position in the next game. There again I have no idea how he performed in the rest of the game but his defending seemed very poor to me.

Butker should have stepped in and tackled or stopped the run a lot earlier. It was clear that Middleton was never going to catch him a poor goal to give away JMHO

How many times and goals have we seen over the last five years against us by opposition.. Everybody knows to run at Donny and you will hardly be clobbered. marquis goal well my mate said if he had not scored the definite handball by the tall lanky defender in the area was a penalty, true it was but would not have been given.
-
Butler gave the lad far too much space to get his shot away, good finish though.
-
Someone's got to take a booking for the team on their first.
-
I thought Butler was slow to close him down but Middleton was far too slow. However it did start because we took far too long to get a ball into the box- something that has frustrated me in the last few games.

Not sure. How many is it?

Exactly, it should never have been allowed to happen the ball should have gone into Accys box instead of piss balling about with it

Yes. Their lad just needed clattering for their first. Would have happened if it was the other way round.

said at the time somebody should have took one for the team and clattered him

Too fkn many and STILL THEY ALLOW IT

If a Rovers player had scored that first one we would have been raving about how the player had shown a great turn of pace and finished brilliantly.
What about if we had conceded the one that Marquis scored?
Totally unmarked.
Agreed that Middleton couldn't catch their player but he was hellish quick.
-
Looks to me like Middleton had handed the runner over to Butler as he was already ahead of Middleton. Butler should have tackled leaving Middleton to pick up any stray ball.

Looks like handball on the line to me

He had no choice but to hand over, those deep sea diving boots he had on did him no favours at all.
Middleton should have also fouled the lad on the halfway line when he trotted past him, how many times does it happen to us when we break? We are far too nice sometimes

If Middleton is the replacement for Houghton in that role he needs time to adapt the problem is chasing promotion you don't get that time he has to adapt straight away. We are a bit sloppy all over the field at the minute not just in one position every single player can improve on recent form.
