    TM has said if there's one team you don't want to play against as a ten men, its boro.. A pulis team is so well drilled without the ball.. He has a point.. Literally..!

    B*gger! I've just checked and you're right. I looked on the main iFollow site and it said Boro haven't signed up, so I assumed it would not be on. I see now, though, that you can still watch through the away team's account. I might watch the replay this evening, although it's not quite the same when you know the result.

    Looking at it from the other perspective, how may times does the 'man down' team gather themselves with increased commitment to not let it be a factor ( Boro are not unique). We ourselves have set ourselves in this mindset ever since TM took control. Something we take great confidence from. It does work 'both ways'. Such is sport. Especially in this Championship league.
    Not seen anything at all of the match and not even as yet read up on proceedings.

    Well done champs and aucks for predicting a draw
    Good result on paper,perhaps not in the reality of how the match panned out
    We take the point,pop it in the bag and move on.
    Not many will get anything away to Boro.

    I'd have taken a point.
    Them going down to 10 (from experience) means very little. They still play with 4 at back and 4 in midfield. They just played with 1 up front. We mat actually have beaten them with 11 vrs 11. A side down to 10 men will always try harder and be more difficult to break down. That's been the case in all the football matches I've seen over the years. This wasn't any different.

    Dack was very unfortunate to hit the post, yet again. They will start going in soon, when out bad luck stops. Evans missed a sitter from 6 yards out, which he simply has to score. 0-2 at HT and they probably don't come back.

    They score a brilliant curling equaliser which you can't legislate for.

    It keeps us in the correct position. We don't want to be in the play offs, as we simply aren't good enough to go up atcyjis early stage. But somewhere between 6-10th is about right. In the top half comfortably, and more than a match for any side in this league. I'm more than happy with that, as one as with an excellent away point at a decent solid side, who don't conceed. And we caused them problems all day.
