Overseas. Is it really as boring as it sounds?

Yeh. It’s pretty shit. But I’d consider Boro better than us, so to be drawing isn’t all bad.

Cant make a pass in their final third at all, and barely in their half. Playing possession football is all well and good but pointless if you can’t do it in an oppositions half.

Nothing changed from 2 weeks ago then 

[The turtle]

Ah the classic lull them in, catch them napping, problem is i might fall a sleep and miss the goall also

[George Rs]

Sam Bell really isn’t the player I thought he was going to be

Yeah but 4+3+3 = 10

Figure that one out 

Too much maths debating on this thread

Just don’t think we have the quality of players to see too much difference no matter who’s coaching them.

That simply can't be true. We've been told by those at the top that this is a side capable of promotion and that it was down to the manager that we weren't seeing this on the pitch.

I'm there. And the fact I'm replying tells you everything. 

The whole experience is dull. 

The atmosphere just reflects what’s happening on the pitch, dull and predictable.

[Fordy62]

I think it’d be more fair if we scored the game with the number of times we get into the final third versus their number of goals. I think it’d be fairly even then. 

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Why is he asking Bell to constantly drop in to the midfield and try link up, he brings nothing to the game like that. 

He's better out on the touchline 1v1. Pring isn't offering an outlet to help him either

[petehinton]

Good thing Conway didn’t go on international duty tho, might’ve only touched the ball twice so far rather than five times if he did

Been poor so far today, had the ball played into his feet several times but heavy touches have meant he has given it away.

[Dollymarie]

God this is so dull. I might have a nap. 

[fishy]

Boro are a good side, but we've turned into a sideways, back pass team. (So far). 

[CodeRed]

Hardly any box entries.........bring Rudolph on

Genuinely on the cusp of falling asleep here. Never thought I’d say it but I’m glad I’ve gotta go out at half time to watch my daughter dance at a Christmas light switch on.

I have said a few times about box ticking on Sky Sports as far as the presenters are concerned, but can I just say if Sky Sports News want to give the job to the woman who is currently presenting they have my full backing, she is as knowledgable and funny as Geoff Stelling, which is about as high a compliment as I could pay. 

[David Brent]

What’s “progressive” about this?

Who is it?

[Peter1450]

Not sure what I was expecting after another two weeks with the squad but don’t think it was a performance as dull as that at QPR 

[David Brent]

Wow

[old_eastender]

GOAL!!!!  TGH Stunner

[collier]

What a goal!!!

 

[Midlands Robin]

Wow, pick that ****** out.

[RedEyez]

What a goal 

[Peter1450]

At last

[Dollymarie]

Ok so that just made up for the last 36 minutes of shite! 
 

Even my 3 year old had asked if it was time to go yet, just seconds before the goal! 

[Ecko]

Great finish. 

[City_USA]

Get in me babbers.... What a fing beauty

[And Its Smith]

[Tre Bong]

I enjoyed that goal!!!
