Might have been a different team if we had a match midweek.I think in our position I’d have wanted the team rotated a lot more but I know that angers Boro fans usually.
Well even just to get some minutes in case he's needed in the future.Happy with that. An opportunity for McNair to be in the shop window, even if Lenihan is injured.
Yes you could argue that and I would disagree. Lenihan is a better CB than McNair in my opinion.You could argue that starting 11 is stronger than the one starting at Birmingham, If McNair is up for it then we might have a tighter defence
We missed Lenihan at the back today. McNair looked a lower league player today. As it turned out we were weaker for sure but even with Lenihan playing we lose that game.Both prone to the occasional error, but McNair is more aware of play around him . Lenihan is more composed and it transmits to the team, either way it's not a weaker team.
