Uwe 3,545 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hell of a game for the neutral especially this heat. Gifted them a goal but at the end there was only on team going to win it. I’m seeing slight improvements so am happy. Also Howson is no where near as bad as some are saying. (But also not as good as Maddo is saying) chuffed to bits for Chuba Onwards and upwards 👍 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 All the lads played out of their skins today, Akpom deserved his goals, hope he isn't injured. Can't be too upset with Giles, he will get us many more goals to be upset about an own goal. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Honours even in the end. Probably a fair result - don't feel either team were good enough to win...though Boro may well have got all 3 points but for Giles. Played some nice football at times and created some good chances. But Wilder still has a lot of work to do. The players' organisation, awareness, positioning and decision-making still leave a lot to be desired, both going forward and defensively. Some good individual performances - Jones, Akpom, Dijksteel and Giles (despite the OG) and definitely some positives to take away. But once again the lack of quality / mobility in central midfield and organisation in defence were glaringly obvious. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Good header back across to assist for Akpom's goal though. I don't think any of the CBs had a particularly good game... Bola was easily frustrated and made silly mistakes. Fry looked off the pace. Lenihan doesn't seem to know what to do at times. Dijk was quite steady, but offered more going forward. I'm interested to see Mowatt start - hopefully in McGree's spot. Can already see he's got good feet, constantly looking a step or two ahead and scanning for who's available. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I thought Steffen and Lenihan were brilliant 2nd half. Wilder can't be happy that we've conceded two more daft goals, home draws vs WBA and SU aren't a disaster but if we're at the top 2/top 6 level we expect you'd like to be able to pull of a home win vs one of them. Shout out to Chuba though I can imagine it's been a tricky couple of years but he got his Riverside moment and have to say he can definitely play a big role for us this season. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Stoke and Reading away next. If we really are aiming for big stuff this season we need to be taking a minimum of 4 points, hopefully 6. Both winnable. Link to post Share on other sites

A good result considering down behind twice. Half time doesn't count. On the game, thought we deserved at least the point. We win if literally anyone but Watmore is on the end of that Giles cross & with their 2nd goal, I wonder if there's anyone who could be telling Giles he's got time, there's no Utd player in the same postcode as him when he slices it into his own net. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,938 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Gonna go against the grain and say I thought lenihan had a good game today. He's good on the ball, doesn't panic, made several really good passes to set up attacks for us. Hes also really good at reading danger and coming out early to intercept it. He has his dodgy moments too, and position wise I think it'll take some getting used to playing in this system but he was far far better than his first two games. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
