Middlesborough away match thread

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Ground out a point away from home, despite a below par performance. I’ll take it and would have before the game.
 

Tip of the hat to Max O’Leary

[Red Exile]

Good point. Blimey...never a comfortable watch is it?

Max coming into his own - impressive.

[Kodjias Wrist]

Great point and great performance Max.

Cheap shot when you know that's not true

Do I?

[HOZDA]

Take that. 2 strikers playing wing back. Away team and Boro dominated. Hoping we can get some sort of result vs Watford before the break.

How did Low do, anyone? I know he wasn't on for long, but a player I think could progress to the first team, especially with our defensive frailties. 

[Rocking Red Cyril]

Oh well it's a point 

[Loderingo]

Point gained on balance

[Ivorguy]

Well played the Robins - players, coaches and manager.

A good away point against a side that has been doing well as of late

[old_eastender]

FT 1-1. Jay did well when he came on. Max has to be man of the match, Pring very good too. 

Semenyo offered nothing and should, for me, have been hooked at HT.

Any point is,not for some on here it seems 

It's not the point. Satisfied with a point away, of course. 

We've been battered today. If it weren't for Max, we could easily have conceded 5 or 6.

They've had 70% possession. Over 20 efforts at our goal. More that twice the passes & twice the attacks we've had. 

This is one of the few teams who are below us in the table..! 

It's a welcome point - but a rather fortunate one. 

[cityexile]

Very happy with that point. Not deserved on the balance of play but will very happily take it.

Hopefully NP bins this line up as an experiment that did not really work. On an odd little run at the moment of lose, not lose, lose etc.

[steviestevieneville]

Well you can’t say those players don’t give everything for the shirt even if we do lack in quality . Far cry from 18 months ago 

[AppyDAZE]

The team now saluting the travelling fans.

Oh, so presumably they're not booing and throwing the toys out of the pram.

Well done to all those who made the trip and got behind the team

Well done Nigel. Brilliant tactics and performance 

Dry your eyes mate 

[Kodjias Wrist]

They will feel robbed like we did against Sheff Utd but we needed that point.

[Banjo Red]

Well how the hell did we get a point there. We got absolutely battered, max saved us today.

That’s isn’t my job mate. I just know that, as a manager myself , if I turned out performances and results like this bloke in the industry I worked in,  I’d be gone 

The bloke is an absolute fraud and has had all of us over 

We are creeping towards a full on relagation scrap and we don’t have the fight for it 

You don’t get paid to give advise on managers either, but you’re doing that now. Easy to criticise but what is the solution? If you don’t know then it doesn’t mean Pearson is the issue. 

[GrahamC]

Good point.

Nige certainly has some bollocks in putting on Bell & then Low for a league debut at 1-1 away to Boro.

Also worth pointing out we’ve conceded 3 goals in our last 3 games, keep it down to 1 a game & we’ll usually have a chance.

[Red Army 75]

After Tuesdays unlucky defeat, I would of been so ****** off if we lost that today

That's my main criticism of today. Everyone banging on about Vyner but if Sykes is on that pitch their man who crossed the ball in would have been covered.

[Top Robin]

Will always take a point when we've been battered most of the game. 

Well done for holding on City. 

Let's see if we can get the tactics better next time and we may win.

We’re yoy pointing out the reverse after or during Swansea , Sheff Utd ?

All true, but then we battery Sheffield United and got nothing. Swings and roundabouts...

[Major Isewater]

Well that was a comfortable watch. 

[bexhill reds]

Enjoyed that game, thought they did well mostly. Max had a blinder, James was excellent in the holding role.

The Semenyo wingback experiment didn’t go well and the decision to switch him back to Vyner’s side cost us the goal.

Personally Antoine has not done anything of late to deserve a starting place, he’s not a patch on where he was last year.

 

[Frenchay Red]

Overall an uninspiring performance, so to get a point is decent outcome.

[Northern Red]

On Tuesday the performance didn't matter, it was all about the result.

Today the performance does matter.

Funny that....

Are we in relegation scrap,you are correct we will be worse off next season when we sell our assets but you can lay that at super Lee and Ashton spending beyond their means 

We are 3 points above the relegation zone, having played a game more than every team below us. 

We are BOTTOM of the form table over the last 10 games and won just 2 of our last 11 games.... 

You don't think that puts us in a relegation scrap...?
