Brunners 7,952 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just now, BoroSmoggie said: How’s that not a penalty? Ref made 3 crap decisions against us now. the foul on Spence early on and the fletcher one near the end. McNair was through on goal Yep just said the same thing; a few interesting decisions for sure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 All in all a good first half. Midfield doing well. Attack looks a threat and is doing the basics well, i.e running the channels and getting us throws/corners in there third. Would like to see us try get Roberts on the ball more in final 3rd.

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Damn! Another good chance for Boro right at the end of stoppage time! Denied by some last-ditch Stoke defending. Well overall the first half has gone much as I expected. Pretty scrappy, with not too many chances at either end. Boro just edged it, by virtue of the fact they converted one of their chances. Hoping we aren't going to rue the missed opportunities to make it 2 or even 3-0 at half time. Big shout to Dejan for keeping us ahead with a couple of good saves. Expect Stoke to come at us hard 2nd half - just hope we can weather the storm and maybe even seal the win with a second goal. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 A friendly reminder that Woodgate benched this front 3 for Nmecha and Gestede. Thank god he is gone, and fingers crossed hard that we hold on and win this one. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 We have a passing accuracy of 45% though, which...is less than ideal. Suppose that's the result when you go long down channels. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) We should be 2 up but we look good despite our low possession something never said under Woodgate who ceded possession week in week out for nothing and Pulis who ceded possession played an awful formation for counter attacking and was similarly 'direct'. Shouldn't just compare what Warnock's gave us so far to Woodgate compare to Pulis he puts the pair of them to shame in terms of shape/formation/effectiveness/quality of set pieces. Hopefully we find a second goal we need all 3 points here it's massive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if Warnock had a hand in gestede going, wonder if was more that Warnock told him to bugger off and telling Gibson hes on too much for what he does. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 We need to get another goal early on. Think we need more of a cushion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It just shows up how bad the previous manager was. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
