*The Unofficial "official - "The Chase is on" - Boro v Stoke. Match-Day Thread*

Too many balls played centrally, they picked us off too many times with our back to goal. We needed a few out wide behind them to stretch them. We've got loads of pace, give them something to think about when they're pressing so high.
100% agree with this all our play was through the middle we needed width to stretch them tonight.

But as others have said they got there game plan right and where the better side on the night, we got a point, on to Saturday now!
 
Under warnock or wilder that would have been over at half time.

Sheff u have to go win at Sunderland now.

The gap was 7 points a little while back. The most it can be this time tommorow is 6
 
Struggle against physical sides who put our defence under pressure, shame Crooks was injured as he would have been an answer from the bench. Nice to see Finch get a place in the squad, but he looks miles away from a first teamer atm.

Mcgree and Hackney looked poor tonight, but it was Howson and Ramsey who were subbed.

A point gained or two lost? Hard to say. If the Blades win tomorrow then two lost I guess.

I thought Finch looked lively for the short time he was on.
 
Little bit of naivety from carrick to play the same team. McGree looked leggy at the weekend and looked gassed 2nd half
But if he had changed it, which I agree I though both Ramsey and Mcgree should of been out tonight he would of been slated for that, Managers cant win.

We got a point in a really tough game now we need to recover and prepare for a huge game Saturday, forget Sheff U we can only sort our performances, look how far away we where when Carruck took over and now we are pushing for Automatics it shows how difficult this league is that we have won all these games and still if we where to lose 2 in a row could find ourselves out of the playoffs, its going to be an exciting ride to the end if the season, UTB
 
I thought it was a good point from a game that I was worried about pre match. They have had some good results recently and have been playing good football.
