Roberts was a bit iffy tonight, perhaps a bit rusty, and needed the minutes.

That is one of the best coverages of a reserve game I have ever seen and as said above, a lot better than any red button coverage.
Well done Boro and well done Sunderland on the coverage.

Yeah, conceding 5 goals in an under 21 game doesn’t look the best I must say

Roberts looked like he hadn’t played in goal before tonight!
Chutney

He's great. And I welcome the jitters he causes. Entertainment.
It's like he's having a bet with himself.
Diego

Yep he’s certainly box office when it comes to goalkeeping

We basically play rush keeper in possession and he's Xabi Alonso. How can you not love that?
Diego

Absolute baller. Makes great saves too which people seem to not mention

Saw earlier on twitter it was Boro 3-0, checked this thread and went straight to the latest post, saw we had conceded 5 and thought wtf! must be 5-3 to Sunderland, and then when I saw the final score I had to take a double look!
Sounds like a hell of a game.

I guess that is an example of why a lot of people don't rate reserve team PL football. Quality is generally poor and not a great indication of whether you are ready for the first team. Loans to professional football (even National league North) is probably better sometimes than reserve football.
