They are on a bit of a new manager bounce and just won 3-0 so to beat them at home is not something to take for granted.

If you factor in the Jones missed sitter and missing a penalty, I'd say we deserved the win in terms of those chances. We completely lost control of the game in the second half though. 

New manager bounce. What planet are you on. He's won 3 in 17, so not exactly new. Blackburn were rubbish. Granted I'm a Town supporter, but still feel robbed tonight, and we have a poor team. No subs bar kids, 3rd choice keeper, Hogg a Boro lad off early as well, and a ref that was crap as they come. Denied Town a penalty, then gave you one, and if you see the replay I think you'll honestly wonder why. I watched your highlights v Rotherham and it was one way traffic in Boro's favour, so you'll know what I mean if I say the result wasn't indicative of the game tonight. It is what it is, but new manager bounce is nonsense. We've not been big fans of Moore, apart form the last two games, inc tonight. We just have crap squad, due to new owner taking over after summer transfer deadline.

A poor performance is a poor performance.

We put in a superb performance on Saturday against a much better team with the same players available.

A poor performance is not poor performance though is It. There are clear mitigating circumstances.

You cant just expect these players to produce superb performances game after fame. Eventually it will catch up with them. especially given half of them not used to playing this much

He rightly denied Huddersfield a penalty.

It wasn't close to one.

Ours was.

Don't disagree about the result though, I think we've snatched some points tonight.

Your ‘penalty’ was never a penalty, our defender volleyed it at our other defender from about a yard away and ur all acting like it was a stonewaller.

Who's expecting it game after game?

Those mitigating factors were there in our good performances too.

Tonight we played poorly.

You don't have to pretend we didn't because of injuries.

We were playing a team with even more injuries than us.

I thought our penalty was quite soft as he was going down already. Howson kindly showed great sportsmanship in allowing your keeper to save it and then finished it in the correct manner.

Oh I always thought he was more right sided, it was more about his influence on the game that I was talking about. Everything went through him, he made things happen and dictated their whole game. Contrast that to some of our players where it’s easy to forget they’re on the pitch.

I think he plays all over to be honest mate.  It was just that you mentioned Greenwood and Silvera who have tended to play more on the left for us mate so I thought you meant him to replace them directly if you see what I mean.  As we don't play an attacking right back then I don't think he could play there but at the same time I'm sure you could play him anywhere and he's going to put a lot of crosses in because I think that's just his game, it's his strength.  I don't know if we need someone chucking lots of crosses in though as much as we need someone on the end of them, which could be either from the striker's position or the player in behind him.  We don't have Akpom, and we don't have a direct replacement for him, so would a lot of crosses going in make us a much better team?  I dunno.

Results really went our way this evening. Every team around us that is outside the top 6 dropped points tonight.

Thought the referee was pretty decent today. Seemed to to get the big calls right.

The ref against Rotherham mind.... jeez

Fair enough. I admit to not being there, I don't do night games at 71 unless staying over, which is not cheap these days. I get my views off DATM just as I get yours off OneBoro. It's a game of football in the end, not life and death, and none of the controversial bits will be shown on the 2 minute Sky highlights , well apart from your penalty I guess. I'll take it from there, but the result is as it is. You did snatch some points, well done, just wish you'd got them against Rotherham where they were far more deserved. It's a funny league.

I don't think he's quite what we want in a player on the left hand side though.  Unless we played him as a left back maybe.

He can play across the line. Can beat a man, can pick a pass, can shoot, can run with the ball.

Yep. Deffo not for us.

It depends on his all round game though doesn’t it, is he under instructions to put so many crosses over? I guess that would probably play a part, I just want our attackers to me as dangerous as he was, tbf to Roger’s he’s done better at #10 and got a couple of assists in a few games. But we just don’t have enough going on up there.

A win is a win for me, two scrappy teams but 3 points for us & moves us up a few places & now 3 points from 6th place Hull, as opposed to Subderland before kickoff

Great ball from Rogers & class finish from Crooks, our defending was shocking procen once again why we continue to concede silly goals 

We were then out under pressure & a very good save from Glover stoped us going behind, Bangura rightly subved, he cheated too often & will now have his cards marked by refs, prefer Engel every day of the week

The winning goal from Howson was great on his part to hit the ball into the ground & go into the only area of the ball, good assist from Clarjke with the knock down header

Hapoy to take a scrappy 2-1 win
