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.

Borges played really well

Borges really is finding his feet now, created 2 goal scoring chances directly in the last couple of games off the top of my head and probably much more. Solid defensively also, I think most of their chances were from our right side.

Thought Fry was top tonight can’t remember him putting a foot wrong. Good passing out with pace not dwelling on ball too

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.

Yes read about it before the game, good thats out the way

2 cracking loanees

For me, when a fully fit Fry is on his game he's as good as VDB 

How lucky are we to have two such CB's

Yep, agree on that, very good game

Woke this morning feeling disappointed from last nights result

For me I thought Hackney wasnt on his game, Dieng made a mistake, but I thought he redeemed himself both before & after the goal, one error

But looking back IMO it wasnt a fair result, yes following our goal they camped in our half & put us under enormous pressure but as a unit we defended magnificently & apart from a hit & hope shot we should have gone in at HT leading.
The 2nd half we created the better chances & should have gone ahead, they huffed & puffed but nothing like the first half, no, we made them look ordinary, two massive chances went begging & should have been in the back of the net, even Latte Laths chance
Thought on the night we grew another level, now need to be on our game at Leeds

Forss has picked up a niggle in training.

Happy with a point given the weather conditions and the fact we were up against the best defence in the league, but we have to beat Leeds now to realistically have any chance of automatic promotion.

Also, *if* Doak is recalled in January then we can definitely kiss promotion goodbye.

Although Carrick seemed fine with the draw he clearly indicated we should have come away with all 3 points, Boro's curse rearing it's head with missed opportunities.

Dieng should have taken the wind into account and stayed on the goal line but hey ho that's football for you I suppose.

Anyway here are the highlights of the match for anyone not being able to see last nights game.

There's more chance of Hoppe playing against Leeds and scoring a hat-trick than getting Dieng to stay on his line

I didn’t see it as we should have got three points. Maybe we had couple of chances and should have scored but I thought at times it was a tough watch, so many balls in the box from them etc, but suppose yes we defended that well with our two big CBs. Wonder how much of an effect the weather had on the game.

Scott Parker seems to have watched an alternate reality second half where they battered us, rather than what actually happened.

I'm still satisfied with the point having slept on it, we probably should have taken the lead again but it was a solid away performance and it's set us up very nicely for Tuesday.

It affected the game massively. No way does Roberts score that equaliser if not for the wind.
