Uwe 3,545 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Only saw 2/3 of the match but it seem like we were in control throughout. Could’ve scored more. Some really good performances throughout the team. Well done Boro 👏 Link to post Share on other sites

Weird sort of game I thought. Forest played the better football for a large chunk of the game, but didn't really trouble us defensively. Don't think Bettinelli had anything to do apart from collect a few crosses. Boro countered very well and looked threatening every time they went forward. Created the better chances and deserved the win. Forest finally made it a close finish when we were looking tired (probably some lapses in concentration) but lost their heads as stoppage time ticked down. A great response by the lads after the dismal showing against Birmingham - keeps us in the hunt for a play-off place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A strange game but a good three points. Today I owe Brit, credit to him. I learnt something new tonight, Hitler is a Brazilian. Well I’m behind with some work so I need to pop upstairs to my office. Good night all and be careful when shaving or using hot wax.. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Good 3 points that, its very rare we pick up wins at Forest so well done lads particularly after the bum performance against Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,694 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Excellent bounce back from Saturday. That midfield 3 suits us away from home, but at home I'd like to see us more offensively. Tactically spot on today by Warnock. Britt was awesome today, love him or hate him but his overall performance today was very good. Just a shame it's only 1 in 10 from him and I think it was a performance to showcase his skills to the forest board to make a offer. Tavernier, Howson, Britt, Saville and Bola were absolutely immense tonight. We look so composed with Howson in midfield and there's a good link between midfield and attack with him in the side. Massive 3pts and massive performance especially with Stoke and B'mouth dropping points last night and us having a game in hand. UTB! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Very tasty at the end of a good game of football which Boro deserved to win. Howson MOM in my opinion 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A great response by the lads after the dismal showing against Birmingham - keeps us in the hunt for a play-off place. Don't think they played the better football really, by and large they played the football we let them play, in front of us and horizontally. We didn't let them threaten at all, which is what we set up to do, they can have as much of the ball as they want in their own half! Thought we were excellent today! Howson MOTM, Tav 2nd place and probably Bola in 3rd, thought he was quality defensively again. Special shout out to Britt too, one of his best games ever for us. Also I see Forest fans calling the red card soft but IMO he should have been off for the Stamp seconds before anyway so it evens out. Think they got very lucky card wise, you could argue Ribeiro should have already been off & Knockaert could have had 2 yellows in 2 seconds with his stunt at the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They had a lot of possession and passed it around quite nicely, but without really troubling us defensively. Whereas we had to chase a lot, but when we did counter we looked pacey and dangerous. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus74 3,072 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A thoroughly deserved victory & typical Boro who were cruising had us biting our fingernails for the final few minutes We should have been 4 goals clear & here we were hanging on But we came through & winning at a team on 7 games unbeaten run, apart from the final 3 minutes, quite comfortably Well done Boro & NW Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Delighted with that win. Keeps us in the mix for the playoffs. Oh for two or three quality signings. Bola is unrecognisable. Full credit to him and the coaching team. Howson was at his best tonight. Been a fan of his since watching him at Leeds. Tonight was one of the few times I have watched him and though I remember why I liked you. Link to post Share on other sites
