Pedro Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 VERY lucky to escape with a point. Never got going. Never got a foot on the ball. Walton MOM. Quote

Had it not been for Walton's worldie and Rudy missing a sitter it would have been same old same old. We're not going down. The game became more about Tony T's pride in the last 20, and it almost cost us, almost. Quote

Must beat Fulham or we will be going backwards again. That is clearly the plan, head back to mid to lower table obscurity, and sell the crown jewels in the summer. Going nowhere 2 Quote

There are 3 posts praising him for a wonderful save. Im sure sometimes people just imagine a torrent of negativity on here Imagine the negativity? Must be that ya. A real positive place to be sure. Ha ha Closer to 1st than the relegation places 2 Quote
roversfan99 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Lucky to get a point from our one bit of quality, a great one two instigated ans finished by an otherwise out of sorts Travis. Walton really really poor with the goal but excellent save from Gestede. Gallagher again totally ineffective and in general we appear impotent in terms of attacking quality. Quote

Disagree. Think Walton gets a lot of praise when he has done well (Wigan sticks in my mind.) He also gets a lot of stick when he does badly. Perhaps there would be more patience if he were a long term project but as it's a season long loan we need him consistently good now. As for the game didn't follow so can't massive comment. That said it seems to sum up our season - initially looking like a very promising score but ends up merely a decent result. 3 Quote
yellowsubmarine Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Bennett and Graham were pointless subs. Only remembered Graham trying to cushion a header for Armstrong which he failed to control. Bennett is just a waste of space. Walton earned us this point with that save. Gestede came on and has 2-3 very good chances to win the game for Boro. Still think its a very good point considering we lost our creative players Dack, Rothwell and Holtby. Decent showing from JRC personally from me. Armstrong, Travis, Bell all had a good game. Gallagher worked hard (as usual). Edited February 1, 2020 by yellowsubmarine 3 Quote

Agree regarding Walton ..at the end of the day he plays in a position where every save ..every error is crucial. Again ..theres no great keepers in this league ..upto the ten in front to make sure hes not put under constant pressure Now if he d done a Raya like Raya did today ...point proven ..no great keepers.

We’re never getting into the playoffs. Quote

We are almost bang on WDL form. It’s not enough. 1 Quote

I think that is 10 unbeaten at home for Boro now, so very decent point if probably a bit lucky. The table would look a lot better if QPR had managed to equalise against Bristol after battering them in the 2nd half. Quote

Top of the form table after the last 12 games ..we re making a fist of it . As pointed out yesterday WBA had no wins in 7 .. Quote

philipl Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Unbelievable Walton save- first worldy I can think of him pulling off. Saved us a point. We were more than decent first half but those injury breaks seemed to affect our rhythm more than Boro's. In the end got to be thankful for bad misses by Gestede and Assombolonga. Those 6 points to 6th are going to take a lot of overhauling especially if Holtby is out for any time. Lenihan got a late booking so he must be close to a suspension. Too often Nyambe had the chance to rip forward but checked back- horrible feeling it was Mowbray's orders despite the Boro' back 3 formation making Nyambe running past the midfield the obvious thing to do. 1 Quote
stinny1 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 With nobody coming in why ? his a draw a bad result i'm very happy with a point today. Holtby injured Lenihan limping at end, Bennett comes on and plays has a number ten ? Gallagher on wing i feel for the lad how's he going to score goals from the wing but we still got a draw. TM your a clown but where stuck with you playoffs not a chance 1 Quote

Humour me then, quote those posts, there’s 1, literally 1 that I can see He’s had his share of criticism but he’s a keeper, mistakes lead to goals and that gets highlighted, look at Raya today Edited February 1, 2020 by Tom 1 Quote
