Middlesbrough Post Match Thoughts

[Sprotmiller]

Wonderful effort from the players and management.
We deserved the luck.
Great result.
Can't wait for Friday no matter what. Always look forward to watching my team.

So pleased for Liam. He’s derserved that for the huge amount of work that’s gone in to make us competitive that’s clear for all to see.
Small steps as he’s been telling us. It won’t be fixed quickly but we’re definitely better than we were.

Not a penalty for me. Their player was already falling over and went down far too easily. There was also a Rufc player covering so he would not have scored anyway. Ref clearly made a judgement call and didn’t buy it. Nice try from Boro and many refs would have bowed to pressure and given it but the ref wasn’t falling for their antics.

Thought it was well deserved Frog ! You don’t win games by accident ?

I see what you mean and I’m over the moon with the result but Boro were better than us just like we were better than Plymouth even with 10 players at times.

The way we set out was exactly what we got.

A great slice of fortune is long overdue - graft and hard work can make up for other issues - the lads and management deserve credit for today - needed for the fans as well. Great result and just the boost that's needed - keeping up good performance levels is the goal - hopefully the results will match up some of the time

Thought Lindsay and Revan were top class today. Third MoM - the halftime team talk - reminiscent of Steve Evans' game changing chats. Closing them down gave them less time to display and utilise their superior technical skills. Sat directly behind Cohen when he hit his cross and from the moment it left his boot it was obvious where it was going to land. I thought it was unfair from someone close to me who suggested he was trying to avoid Tom Eaves' head!

Victor world class yet again. The idiot on P&G who suggested he would be a great replacement for Fotheringham at the Lane needs sectioning!

Bizarre moment, which isn’t the first time it’s happened, for anyone that wasn’t there.
Boro are seriously putting us under the cosh, they win a corner at the home end and some of our fans are actively encouraging the opposition by clapping Barlaser.

We must be the only fans in the world that inadvertently gives an advantage to them when they are on top. Got to be unique in the football world. Talk about picking your moment.

Same with Crookes when he came on and they were pushing for a equaliser
Deal Fry probably felt a bit left out. Could have done with some home fans carrying him off on their shoulders at HT after a good defensive display

Glenn, that would be 'Michael The Blade'. he does talk some bolox at times. Tonight his claim to fame was about Viktor and he said he's definitely one they could take on to coach and train up, definitely one for the future .....I almost pissed myself laughing when he came out with that statement.

Is there only me noticed right sided players who aren't wide players like Rathbone prefer to play on the left that's why Dext today hardly had any cover again on the right. Ayala he's back Friday could revert back to 3-5-2 won't leave as many gaps then. I'd start with Eaves up front with Nombe.

[crashbang]

Who ever says Ollie isn't trying, he was blowing out of his arse with effort.

Let’s not get carried away. In the 1st half, Bramall had no idea what he was supposed to be doing.

Eaves deserves to start next game ahead of Hugill, who yet again contributed nothing.

Eaves better than Kelly
