Neverbefore 10,938 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Weird first half. A half of two halves. First 20 we were as bad as we've been all season, second half we've been as good as we've been all season. We took our chances and they didn't so we probably deserve to be in front. Hopefully we keep the momentum going in the second half and score early to lift the pressure. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh it could just be water, when the ball hit it I saw stuff fly up off the surface that looked like snow, but maybe it was just water! Also thought I saw some sort of shovel but again might well be wrong! Link to post Share on other sites

Bolasie has played well too. Once we got the goal i thought we decided to stop hoofing it as much and play some okay footy. That second goal was a lovely counter attack.

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Well it was a slow-burner to start with, but it seems Boro clicked into gear after Warnock changed the shape. Was great to see us play some nice, flowing football, after the turgid hoofball of the first 15-20 minutes. Think we're good value for our 2-0 lead. Stoke started with real intent and created a couple of early chances, but after that they rarely looked like troubling Bettinelli. Just hope we can repeat the performance second half. Great job so far lads! 👏 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,938 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wow, we've not made a cross the entire half, successful or not! When's the last time we've not done that, we normally try crossing all game long whether it's working or not Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he's been a great signing to watch, I was wrong to write him off. Technically has an assist now, I guess, though he should have 2 and a goal. Not sure we could justify wage demands if he's wanting even a quarter of what he's on at Everton. Link to post Share on other sites
