SouthWest Boro

An improvement and should have won. Problems with finishing and defending is never a good combination.

We've had our chances. Some encouraging signs, even if defensively we are very frail.

Phew! About to go into taking chances rant and we show some steel and fight back. Now let's go for the second!

Need to score whilst on top. Preston will get better and the longer we go without scoring, heads may drop, but a huge improvement.

People can talk all day about chances missed, decisions not given, but all teams have their tales of woe with referees etc. Maybe it's too early for Woodgate, but he's been dealt a bad hand - we're a really poor side, made some really poor transfers and have to tidy up Pulis' mess. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes, if any players are revolting etc. Maybe we need some better coaches?

Not in a huff at all, in fact i'm finding it kind of funny. I'll save my huffs for things in the world that need my huff, not a discussion on an internet forum. My tongue in cheek comment about 5-4 was taken quite literally by you and you got very defensive. Having watched football at many levels over many years, I have never left a football match early (and i've seen a 0-9 and a 1-9). I've also seen a 4-0 become a 4-4 and been on the other end of a comeback. I understand emergencies and reasons beyond ones control, but because your team is playing poorly? That's when your team need you t

Fair enough. Hopefully Wednesday get a couple more for you to entertain you.

Boro creating chances isn't entertainment?

Well, Britt's just missed two great chances - it could be 3-4.

The people who left early are gonna have the hump when they get home and see we've won 5-4.

Oh dear. I have no other words.

1) Result? Nervy 2-1 2) Preferred back 4 to start this game? Howson - Fry - Ayala - Bola 3) Do you consider Reading to be relegation candidates this year? They'll be botrtom half but safe. 4) Favourite Royal? Diana

Good result at a team who I think will be pushing for the playoffs. Three unbeaten. Maybe international break has come at the wrong time.

Unbeaten in two. Let's look at it positively. Will be very happy if we make it three unbeaten as Bristol City will be tough.

Hmmmmm 1-1 ?

Hurrah!!! 1-01!

Leo Leo Leo! Imagine having 11 Leo's on the pitch. I'd be more optimistic if we had 11 players with the heart of Leo on the turf.

Well, as expected a narrow 1-0 win, but it was awful against a side who will be down the bottom end come May. Millwall are better than them, so we need to pull our fingers out on Saturday.

Has this Sky commentator not stopped his watch at half time or something?

Great defending from Jonhson. Weird substitution.

Wing is getting better and at least he's trying things. McNair and Howson doing well. Hoson wasted at RB, but frighteningly worrying he is our best defender when he's makeshift.

Needs to be hooked off before he's sent off. But what's the other option? Marvin? At least we'd still have 11 men. Would like Clayton off as well. How has he become this bad? Saville may be no Pirlo, but surely he wouldn't do any worse.

Britt!!!!! Don't deserve it, but we'll take it

We look devoid of any confidence, so early in the season. My stream may be behind, but the commentator said Clayton has had a poor first 10 minutes and we hadn't even played seven and a half. Not the first time either as he said 5 minutes had been played around the four minute mark. We look horribly on the ball and defensively we are all over the place. Good job it's Wigan or we'd be behind against at least 15 other Championship clubs.

I just hope Shotton remembers he didn't join Wigan and he nets the winner for Boro!
