* The Unofficial "Official" FA Cup: Boro v Brighton. Match-Day Thread *

[dribble]

McNair marking precisely nothing there...

He is woeful ,slow and half asleep.

 

[sherlock]

Surely the guy who tapped it in from a yard was offside

Replay just shown, miles onside.

 

[Boro4life]

We need to get Dijksteel back in the side man Smith isn't doing the job

He was miles onside. Sherlock Beat me to it.

 

[allied_assault]

Bring Jones on at right back

I said it a couple of days ago but we are massively lacking a ball winning midfielder who can win the ball back off better teams, there’s nothing stopping the ball coming at the defence here at all

 

[Boro4life]

Watmore and Jones counter attacking with archer will be effective. Why we playing such slow players at the front end when our game plan is counter attacking

Hopefully that lad we signing from Rotherham can do this

 

[Zoophonic]

Yes iBrightons pace that is very much the difference. We do look a league below in terms of the play.

 

[Glover_elbow]

We are defending so deep it's ridiculous asking to be punished

 

[dribble]

Mitoma is the threat,we look disjointed at the back

 

[sadgit]

We just look so slow and passing in treacle!

 

[Glover_elbow]

We are always miles better 2nd half under Carrick we are still well in this. Just unfortunate lenihans not playing today

 

[Boro4life]

Being Jones on man Smith can't handle the speed

 

[sherlock]

Mitoma is the threat,we look disjointed at the back

Should have been booked for diving there.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Cheating, diving get and weak ref. That was a booking all day long.

 

[Laughing]

Should have been booked for diving there.

I thought it was an obvious dive and the look on his face suggests it was him cheating.

 

[Yearbyred]

Good cup tie. Good atmosphere too.

Really impressed with Brighton going forward, nice crisp passing and always a threat.

We have looked threatening too so it’s been an entertaining watch.

 

[dribble]

Poor from the Ref, not Mitoma’s first dive either.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Played ok, but they look dangerous every time they go forward, Smith is good for the champo but against these he looks lost.
