v Watford (h) - 13/9/22 (possibly)…

[bluebruce]

Lenihan appears to have not made the bench (and not been injured) for Boro's game tonight, which they lost, leaving them 20th.

I wonder how green he is finding that grass?

Difficult to pick faults in that performance, superb all over the park.

Now let's have a bit more consistency!

You do have to wonder though if some results would have been more positive with the likes of Ayala and Wharton playing.

Pickering looks much more confident knowing he's got a bit of backup as well. It's definitely the formation we should adopt at weekend, bastard injuries permitting!

[joey_big_nose]

Its a very different feeling to Blackpool where we won because Blackpool were naive and let us play the way we liked so it felt a bit of a hollow victory. Today we could have beaten any team in the division imo.

[Aqualung]

10 MoM contenders for me. Kaminski had bugger all to do. 

Watford just a team of journeymen. Albeit a bit good in patches.

Mortons best performance yet.

Early days but I feel less nervous with Hyam than I did Lenihen lovely finish too.

Hedges is a classy player 

Thought Morton looked really good. We looked solid at the back and really limited Watford's chances.

 

Like others have said, need to keep Ayala and Wharton fit and we have a solid defensive base to work off

[neophox]

Hyams goal was absolutely stunning!!

Played 9 lost 4  and in 3rd place. I don't understand this league but I'll take it

Think he's suspended after sending off recently.

We seem to have a go all for a win or lose mentality..... no draws.

Nah... Its all the system imo. If wed played 343 against Bristol and Stoke we would have got results.

The difference now is we can settle into this and dominate games. Back three superb - Hyam, Wharton and Ayala are as good as you get this level - and our front three very good also. Travis excellent at his role Morton not so sure about but we have Buckley and Adam Wharton to compete.

Maybe I'm wrong, we can see over the next 10 games, but I think today was a major corner turned.

Game of opinions eh? I thought Morton stood out and played a big part in us dominating the first half entirely. Calm on the ball, seldom chooses the wrong option. Simple most of the time, clever all of the time. Almost played Breo through but was marginally offside.

It is not beyond understanding, we have won 5 of those 9 games.

Lack of draws make a huge difference.

I wasn't expecting that result. Well done to JDT and the beautiful bastards in blue n white.

Happy for him, until they play us.

Superb lads, excellent result, unfortunately it needs to be followed up with some consistency to make it mean something. Last match I watched was Blackpool which I thought we were really good then we followed that with some stinkers, let’s see if we can turn the yo-yo performances around

The other bonus is that it seems Carter is a more than capable RB which eases the pressure of having only Brittain in that position.

And hopefully gives him some competition.

Looked like a back heal volley to me

I agree that Morton played well but not sure if Buckley or Wharton would not have offered a bit more creatively and in the tackle. My gut feel is Morton will be displaced over time but we will see.

It was similar if not quite as good as the giroud goal for Chelsea/arsenal
