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

Despite his very wayward passing, Engel has at least looked like he's bothered, even before we equalised and then took the lead.

Well done lads, not the prettiest half but we find ourselves in front.

 

[Boro_Interlinked]

Not sure we need a root and branch fact check on the sending off. He's gone. It's done. They and the ref can mull over it for the rest of the week. As for us , Let's fill out boots

Engel suits wingback hes played some really dangerous balls

Yeah, and some really poor passes. He often looks like a pub player.

I’m enjoying this

We’ve woken up

 

[Andy_W]

The sending off has allowed the full backs to get up the pitch higher, before that, we couldn't

Great point, certainly looks the areas where it made the biggest difference.

Why ?
The sending off was because he kicked out at howson in front of the ref

Why? Why! Imagine life as a pack of cheese and onion crisps for a moment

It didn't look like he did on the replay to be fair. Looked like he was spinning round after the challenge but didn't kick out at all.

Thanks ref

Maddo will still be saying ‘for me its not a red card’ in his sleep tonight.

 

[Chris_Boro]

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

Too late. I've eaten them.

Engel has put some good balls in, including the one that led to the goal, but he gives the ball away and makes real basic errors constantly every time he plays. He's nowhere near good enough if we want to push for promotion especially if we are going to play the way Carrick wants to. He's just not a good enough footballer.

 

[Fattyfoggon]

mad how quickly it can all change thankfully, had us well beat after 20 minutes

 

[BumTrumpet57]

Thank god for that bit of luck with the sending off. Before that we were utter dog !!!

Let’s just hope this gets us 3 points closer to safety as the end of the season can’t come soon enough. Massive, massive overhaul needed during the summer.

 

[Yearbyred]

What a ridiculous first half.

Literally could get nowhere near them when they had 11, concede a dreadful goal and looked totally lost.

Stupid (and very soft) sending off and Norwich have gone to pieces and look all over the shop. Two poor goals defensively and we are on top.

Can’t rely on playing 10 every week, but hopefully might get some confidence back.

My wife just informed me that I didn't shout or cheer either of the goals. I think I'm broken.

Chris, sometimes a bit of luck st what you need to get you going.

 

[HarryVegas]

Two different teams, pre- and post-sending off. Amazing what a bit of belief will do for a team. UTFB!!

 

[Angus]

I think Engel’s having a good game

First and foremost he has to be solid as a defender. He isn’t, he makes bad decisions and mistakes that stand out every game.

It’s his first season in English football, probably a higher standard than he played in Denmark. Hopefully he will be better next year for the experience.
