Middlesbrough - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

So what has Piroe done to make his arrival so welcome? Has he touched the ball yet?

He is one lazy fk. We were up against and he half-heartedly jogged back a little then stopped each time. No urgency. Looks disinterested.

Jesus Christ….and breathe

I know it shouldn't be said straight after a win like this...but does anyone else feel that despite it, we just don't look like we are handling pressure too well now that it is on? Given recent results and crappy errors. ��

Not suggesting you're wrong (we have years (decades) of pressure games that we have lost!), but consider, we have switched from the "keep the ball, tippiy-tappy possession-based play" that has lost us a number of games including at ER, to a strategy that left us with 33% possession, but with 4 goals scored and 3 points gained. Not saying all is hunky dorey, but I'd prefer this kind of result, and how it was achieved to those against Coventry and Blackburn

Talking about Piroe or Bamford? (apologies but I didn't see the game)

A Southampton win tomorrow night please

Says you. He scored, and one goal was all we have between us gaining automatic promotion and remaining in the playoff positions. Not saying it will, but it "might" be the difference between auto and those playoffs.

Yep says me - only my opinion and not expecting anyone to have to agree / but he was bad at pressing and constantly giving the ball away..

I think Piroe is a better player and Joseph a much better player but hey ho.

We won which is all that really matters.

Sadly we need Dull to do us a favour

And more-so playing at home.

C’mon we can win the league 😎

As most know, been a big supporter of Bamford even when "under fire", but it's past time for him to be the sub, and others to start.

This aged well. Still as knowledgeable as ever WTF 😂
