73% possession in the first half is incredible!.. so long as we keep doing what we are good at that kind of pressure has to create opportunities.

Real options on the bench too. This ain’t over yet

Remember they’re a possession based team and we have simply strangled it from them

 

[northriding]

Still reckon we can get something out of this.

I think we are a top quality CB away from walking away with this league. We get bullied a bit and if we had a powerful class CB we would nullify that threat and teams wouldn’t pay a glove on us

We get bullied a bit

It's the only way to beat us I think, Sheff Utd did it in the 1st 10 minutes but we managed to turn it into more of a football match.

 

[BoroMart]

No we don’t, we stick to th

Michael carrick oy has one team talk....'calm, calm calm'

Been too cal. , need more urgency and directness or its nil pooints.

e plan that has won 9 out of the last 10. No need to panic, why transfer that onto the players?

Dike bullied us when he came on at the Riverside that’s why I’m surprised Fry didn’t start today

Corrected that for you.

On the upside, some of our passing has been immense. Really love watching our football lately.

2nd goal comes from a pi$$ poor McNair header, he is our weak link .

Remember they’re a possession based team and we have simply strangled it from them

They're letting us have the ball and sitting deep. They're 2 up, they don't need to dominate possession high up and leave gaps for us to counter. That stat would only be impressive if we were level or ahead.

 

[Kevcharben]

As Archer touched the ball today, make a couple of changes.
Get one we can do this

 

[gravy173]

We need to stop making passes for passes sake, we need to get at them fast when they give us a sniff, making three passes when one would do is slowing our ability to get forwards and allowing them to regroup.

 

[Jedi boro]

Believe in the system

 

[supermfc]

Remember they’re a possession based team and we have simply strangled it from them

Of course we have had so much possession, they were 2 up after 10 mins so they have just sat back and let us come at them an try to counter us!

2nd goals on steffan. He’s a liability and the only weak link in a genuinely very good boro side

 

[dooderooni]

If any Boro team of recent years had goals in it then it's this one. As long as we don't give anything daft away at the back then I'm confident we can get something here.

2nd goals on steffan. He’s a liability and the only weak link in a genuinely very good boro side

He makes a good save with his leg and no defender is there to clear up.

There's been no room behind their defenders for Archer to find or passes played behind for him. WBA are sitting deep on a 2-0 lead.
