With the chances we created that should have been a comfortable win...but as usual Boro made it anything but. Most importantly though, 3 points from our first home game. Hopefully that will help spread a feel good factor around the squad. Warnock with plenty of work to do to get our defensive play sorted out. Think I'm more relieved than happy right now. But our season is up and running...UTB... Crikey marcus I thought yu would be waiting until Quest started before knowing the result!😄 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Is there anything sweeter than seeing a young player dropped into the team and stepping up to seize it? Absolutely delighted for Jones. Worked so hard in the u23s and has taken his chance when it's come his way. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Managed to sit at the end of a row with the ear bud in and phone on a bag at a decent angle. Watched all the goals Thank you 4G/5G Link to post Share on other sites
SA Red 114 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) We played some nice football today mixed in with the direct stuff. We also got the ball to Jones in good areas, so he had room to roast the fullback. Well done Boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You are right Smog there is no better feeling than watch a young player starting to make his way up the ladder in the game, but a question, can he be the answer to one of our wide positions on a long term basis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,331 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thought we played some good football today. Isiah Jones was great, but had some poor decision making at times. Probably had a good chance of another two assists with the right decision, but it was nice to see him able to beat his man so consistently. Uche and crooks were both great and I think Spence had a good game. Definitely need to work on our defending on set pieces though and not sure what all the confusion was bout for 10 minutes after their goal Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Loved that. Great win, great atmosphere and a good performance. I thought Ikpeazu was excellent, far better on the ball than any of our recent strikers even if he may score less. Jones looks like a rough diamond, I'm excited to see more of him. Spence had a good game too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Good win when you consider that our team was pretty patched up at the top end of the pitch. We actually should have been 2 or 3 up when Bristol scored, but for poor decision making/finishing. Jones looked very good at times, but was guilty for two of those bad decisions! I don't mind Spence as a backup RW option, he looks pretty decent there when he's not worrying about defending. Shouldn't be first choice, but wasn't too bad today. I really like the look of Crooks. I reckon we'll see him, Morsy and Payero as first choice midfield by the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites
