Hats off to Sheffield United, they made us really work for that point. Really hard game and Sander Berge was pretty much unplayable. They will be up there and I believe a strong end to the window for us and we will be too.

We need to sort the back 3 out, it’s not looking comfortable at the moment. Thought Mowatt improved us in the second half and calmed us down, fully expect him to start at Stoke. Akpom is like a changed man, buzzing for him today and he deserved his reception at the end. Hope he didn’t go off with anything serious as he’s our best bet upfront at the moment. Well done Boro, good result and done well to get back into the game twice.

Yes enjoyed that, so pleased for Akpom
 
Really enjoyed that too. Good football, great weather, cracking atmosphere, and a bit if needle on the pitch.

With regards to the atmosphere, it's rare that teams bring a big away following to the Riverside, and today showed just how much they can contribute

Jacob Greaves would take us up another level. If we manage to bring in the players we’re after we will be a force to be reckoned with!

Agree with all that mate. The back three and defending in general is a concern. I also thought McNair in midfield didn't really work. He looked better once he went back into defence.

It's been a difficult start to the season when you consider both West Brom and Sheffield United will be challenging plus QPR away which is rarely easy.
 
A good game and a proper contest. Prefer the red to let things go tbh it makes for a better game and a better atmosphere.
 
They were bullying us at their corners and set pieces, I just wish we would give it back to teams like that, constantly push players out of the way etc, let's get at their concentration levels, it's no wonder our goalies make mistakes at set pieces because the other team are dominant in our penalty area.
 
Good, physical game. Wilder praised the ref for letting a lot of thing go during the game and in hindsight it did make for an open game.
 
Really enjoyed the game,totally agree about us being bullied also got annoyed with them moaning to the ref constantly.How many of our players did they get yellow cards through complain to the ref ?.
 
I also thought the player who went down with a head injury resulting in lengthy treatment should not have been let back on the pitch. With the current issue with head injuries I really though he should be sent off for a check. Or more time wasting when we were getting the better of them.
 
It was a good game. Thoroughly enjoyed our never say die attitude and also sticking to the gameplan instead of launching it. Paid dividends in the end and could have got us the winner. Who needs plan B?
 
Cracking game almost like a first game of the season with weather just needed a hat trick from a new striker.

Was a proper battle and a bit of needle like u say. Chuba was great, thought dijksteel and mcnair were excellent. Keeper made some good saves. I think were looking good especially with a few additions

We did the game before and the game before that
 
Good contest. If I felt we just shaded the WBA game, maybe UTD just shaded this one.

That said, after we equalized there was only 1 team who looked like winning it. I thought utd went hell for leather for the first 20-25 minutes of the second half and were out on their feet by the end.

Still, a feisty, absorbing game.
 
It was a proper game yesterday, tackles flying in and tempers flaring, but the referee played a blinder and we can't say that very often. He let borderline decision go, didn't hold up the game unnecessarily, told players to get up when feigning injury and was fair and consistent to both teams.
