* The Unofficial “Official” Boro v Norwich [03/24] Match-Day Thread *

[Midnight to Six Man]

We are a team massively lacking in confidence and consistency. Maybe a bit of luck is our spark.

Couldn't agree more , last year Mcgree had great close control , showed deft touches and could find the killer pass now and again .
Can't believe I'm watching the same player.

Engel has gone from Alan Wright to peak Roberto Carlos in the space of this match thread!

It's only one player, but Norwich have totally lost it, they're playing as bad as we did before the sending off. Sometimes it's hard to play against 10 men(QPR at home), we've used the pitch well and got at them. Hopefully this will give us a bit of confidence for the rest of the season, and with a few injured players back a strong finish.

Disrupted season with injuries still trying to find form, like most of our squad.

He was no worse than anybody else in the first 30 minutes but was targeted by some. Since the sending of he has been a candidate for mom

A solid, conventional full back behind Engel wouldn't be a bad idea. He's so much better further up the pitch.

That's a long journey back to Norfolk after a 3-1 thumping by the mighty reds.

Out of interest who was the last full back we had from the academy who established themselves in the first team?

I remember when we used to have a decent conveyor belt with the likes of Parnaby, McMahon etc.

Anyone know the attendance?

Well that was about as comfortable a win as it possibly could have been after the sending off. We were completely in control once they went down to ten men. We were due a bit of good luck and we finally got it. Thank flip for that. UTB.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Sometimes you just need a bit of luck and we certainly got that tonight. Buzzing to finally win at home again, feels like a lifetime since Chelsea, never mind WBA in the league.

Hopefully we can replicate this against 11 men on Saturday and put some form of consistency together.

O’Brien and McNair both great tonight, McNair really made a difference when pushing forward.

 

[Andy_W]

Dieng was probably our best player when it was 11 a side. Some teams manage ok with 10, but they’ve been shocking or we really took advantage, probably a combination of both. The width killed them,

Good result, hopefully that’s a turn around. No injuries too, and some resting of players, which will help.

 

[Billyzin]

Perfect game for him now tbh, all the time in the world on the ball.

It's when we're under pressure in our own half he worries me.
You're right in saying that when he has time he looks decent.

 

[Scrug]

As if they’ve stuck on the light show for that
