Well done lads, you worked hard for that point especially after being very much second best in the first half. I thought Dijksteel had an outstanding game and also mention for Borges who is turning out to be a very steady full back who is growing into this team game by game

Happy with the point but we should've won that game with the chances we had.

Decent point which is probably fair on the balance of play. I felt 1st half Burnley looked the better side but we managed to be on top in the 2nd half. We could and probably should have put away a couple of the chances Edmundson and Lath (maybe harsh but I think once he got there first possibly should have done better). We looked solid defensively bar a few nervy moments playing it out from the back.

I think most will agree Dijksteel was man of the match. He hardly put a foot wrong all game and took advantage of the space left from doubling up on Doak. I also think the referee had a good game. He let the game flow and didn't throw around cards like we've seen in previous games.

Doak has been great for Djik.

The interviewer actually trying to imply Doak should leave Middlesbrough has irritated me.

"Is Middlesbrough really the best place for you to be right now?"

Managed to miss the game again.  I've seen the result but was the game like?

we were the only team that looked like winning it 2nd half, Burnley rain the first half despite Burnley's dominance we limited them to very little. It took a freak goal, djieng will be disappointed but the wind was an added factor.

And what a goal from djiksteel, can anyone confirm if it we kept possession from burgzorg's backheel helping us out of tight spot in defence to the goal?

Also, the finish was mad, dinked perfectly with what was his standing foot, you don't see that very often at all. He got sky motm deservedly.

Burnley are very good and not many teams will take anything from them this season, I'll take a point today.

And even better, Carrick is secure in his job, until Leeds at least...  Haha

I was saying before the game I would have settled for a point, but those two big chances & in the second half & Burnley just huffed & puffed I feel a bit disappointed, not with the players, they were excellent tonight, just the missed opportunities

Dijksteel worthy MOTM, thought he was excellent & a very good goal too

Great opening goal, we were then under the cosh for the entire first half.

Much better in the second half, had some very big chances and could easily have won it.

Overall a point was fair, but it could have been 3.

It was very wet and very windy, played a big part.

Do the Club have any control on who they put forward for an interview, in which case I'd put forward the thickest, dumbest and most inane individual to frustrate the heck out of them. Either that or a quick thinking wind up merchant.

First half we seemed to sit back were under the cosh after taking the lead. 2nd half had alot of chances should of won the game but fair result

Put Woody up. "The rain is lying". That should fox the interviewer.
