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

We played some neat football and deserved the lead then it was backs to the wall and last ditch defending as Burnley put us under the screw for the remainder of the half and scored a worldie, well almost, Dieng was too far off his line and Roberts shot was I suspect swirling wind assisted.

Second half we gave a good account of ourselves but Burnley were really sharp, quick and incisive. We did however have the better chances and restricted them to only one I think versus around three to us, two of which would have went in on another day.

A point away at Turf Moor is a good point but with a little more composure and Dieng being better positioned it could have been three although a draw was probably a fair result. The Ref let the game flow and the only booking came in the 93rd minute for a pull back so I'd be happy to see him Ref one of our games again.

We beat Sheff U....

I meant in the league table. I thought we were convincingly better then Sheffield United but they are far more consistent than we are

an anyone confirm if it we kept possession from burgzorg's backheel helping us out of tight spot in defence to the goal?

That's how I remember it and I hope that's how the video highlights recall it too as it was a sublime piece of skill that started a series of passes that ended up with Dijksteel's goal.

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?"

She was the same clown who interviewed Coburn after the Leeds game and said about it being his last goal for us etc. Terrible really, they're only kids in reality and she's trying to get a sound bite out of them with leading questions.

It's not that good!

I'd say it was fooking awful, miserable is several levels below that.

For me a hit & hope shot from Roberts got their goal, maybe Dieng should have been a foot or so further back but before & after the goal he redeemed himself, thought he had a very good game tonight. No complaints from me on his selection tonight. They put under the cosh for the entire first half , plenty of corners but we stood firm, earlier in the season we would have buckled under such pressure, thought our backline was immense

Barlasar played the role that Carrick knows he's the only one at the club who can play that role, his passing tonight was so, so good, twice playing in Dijksteel

Roberts who Latte Lath was impressed with, was signed under Monk, only played 4 games, then had his contract cancelled, our  43rd league cup debutant - 84th loaned player - Loaned from Swansea - 51st at the Riverside

Agree with the assessment of Dan, might be the only lad I have seen whose pass accuracy increases with distance. Pinpoint at 50 yards but prone to misplace at five. I like the lad, he can see passes most others can't

Due to a ridiculous stantion I only just seen the goal properly. Very nice goal.

Got to be a good point that. The conditions were appalling so to come injury and red card free with a point is a good night I think.

Think that was the cut off point for a ban for 5 yellows. Ed, Hackney and possibly Doak were at risk but all come through it.

Fully expect to see Riley and LL come in for Burgzorg and Conway v Leeds. Did Dijksteel cramp up towards end.  Could also see Ayling replacing him if that is the case. Apart from that I think team will be same. Dieng to remain in goal.

Special mention to Borges who I thought had one of his best games in a Boro shirt.
