Should be 2 2. Hope I am wrong but I can't see a clean sheet unless O Leary has the game of his life.

Which O’Leary is currently having.

He is having a shocker so far. O’Leary having a blinder..

Zak is absolutely all over the place, hope he gets back to the solid form he's shown recently and sharpish!

[RedEyez]

Vyner a shambles today so far. If we had a fit CB on the bench he’d be off I reckon.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Max is saving us atm!

[The Original OTIB]

Vyner been great recently but all over the place today

[bexhill reds]

Vyner is having a mare today. 

[Roadrunner]

Zak stop pushing people in the box.

[miketh2nd]

How haven't Boro scored .... amazing saves by max!!

[RedinSpain]

Have the feeling that Max is going to have to have the game of his life for us to get 3 points

[winsaw]

Middlesbrough should have scored 3 , Max is having a worldie in goal, we have no one at the back to defend, it's like school boy football when everyone wants to be a striker :laugh:

[zider'ed]

Take a bow Max O'Leary, pulled off some fine saves today

Long may it continue.

Can't see this staying 0-1!

[RedinSpain]

End to end stuff - very entertaining but not good for the blood pressure

[Peter1450]

Max certainly had an extra Weetabix for breakfast

Agreed 

[Spike]

Tinnion is spot on by saying Zac is giving them chances, he's just not able to play well in that RCB position without a good right back to cover him. He'd be better off playing as the central CB and moving Klose into the right position. The issue with doing that however is Vyner has the pace. Zac is a real problem player, not because he's not good enough but because his positioning is so poor when he's not in the middle of the defence but has the skills and attributes to play to the side of the center back.

[The Original OTIB]

Need Williams to stop bloody pointing and do his damn job

[italian dave]

To be fair to Vyner, his biggest problem today is having Semenyo as his RWB.

He's also getting the square root of **** all assistance from Semenyo who's playing pretty fast and loose with the "back" element of playing right wing back.

Yes Vyner's making errors, but he's being properly exposed because we've got a very forward-thinking player in the full back role.

[The Original OTIB]

Conway looks the business, why choose Scotland? Bright future at highest level.

[firstdivision]

This is like watching a high-wire trapeze act without a safety net.

[ExiledAjax]

Looks like Weimann and Semenyo might have switched sides. Smart move if so as Weimann has more experience at RWB and more discipline than Semenyo. Should help Vyner out.

NP agrees with us! Just switched Weimann with AS

[The Original OTIB]

Williams contributing nothing, 

[old_eastender]

Howson pulling all the strings in m/f, we need to get one of our midfielders to pick him up
