BoroNut 31 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 http://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:championship/form/matches:6/type:home-and-away Current form table We really do need to get more home goals I agree, we really do need to! We're doing so terribly at home and in the league this season. Picking for the sake of picking really isn't it. If our home record continues exactly as it is for the rest of the season I'll be more than happy Link to post Share on other sites
trekkers 104 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Great result today. Fantastic atmosphere from where I was sat in block 62. Nice meeting Dan (Old Man Gravz) for a beer or two as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Middlesborough 12 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 We are now at a point where our away form lately has been better than our home form. Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,311 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Great result today. Fantastic atmosphere from where I was sat in block 62. Nice meeting Dan (Old Man Gravz) for a beer or two as well. Always a pleasure Dave. Was actually just about to ask how you ended up supporting us before you told me haha Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Loving the sly dig at Wednesday from Aitor :) From A Vikers Twitter page.... Did anyone notice AK's sly dig... "maybe my players were too relaxed and not sharp after 10 days rest. Maybe it is better to play games" Link to post Share on other sites
Barnaby 954 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Promotion form that, playing poor an winning at a canter, well done the lads Link to post Share on other sites
gephind 7 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Fabbrini has a kind of Turrets syndrome if he cannot change his thoughtless style of play which has obviously been analysed and pointed out to him. I'm sure he must have been seriously annoying to watch for the Owls...hey ho UTB Link to post Share on other sites
misterweed 24 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Frustrating game for me , would really like to see us kill teams when we dominate as we did for the first 30 minutes Ayala and Clayton immense as usual Link to post Share on other sites
juninho9 35 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I keep reading everywhere that Ayala headed a clearance off the line, but I swear the ball hit the bar, and Ayala actually headed the bar himself too. Unless they're talking about a difference incident? Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The ball hit the top of the bar and Ayala went to head it away and hit the underside of the bar with his head. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 MBP is correct. a ball came in from a corner not sure which Wednesday play scuffed it (may of been a Boro player even) and it hit the top of the crossbar. Ayala jumped to cover it. Which is impressive as he had his head over 8ft in height to hit the bar Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 MBP is correct. a ball came in from a corner not sure which Wednesday play scuffed it (may of been a Boro player even) and it hit the top of the crossbar. Ayala jumped to cover it. Which is impressive as he had his head over 8ft in height to hit the bar Forestieri pushed Ben Gibson, as Gibson fell over it came off his back and looped onto the bar.

Guest Changing Times Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Disappointing performance after the first 20 mins or so where it looked like we would walk all over them and we were playing some very nice stuff. Why it is that we continue to stop playing when in strong positions I'll never know. I'm not surprised that Karanka wasn't happy as we really should have been able to push on and put the game away. The game also highlighted a slightly worrying trend of us struggling to score goals at home. In reverse order these are the scores from the more recent games - 1-0, 1-0, 0-0, 1-0, 1-0, 3-0, 0-0. Other than the Charlton game we haven't managed more than one goal in the last three months. As long as goals against continues to be zero then it's less of a concern but I'd like to see us knock a few more in at home to give us a bit of breathing space. Link to post Share on other sites

I said after the Rotherham game and the same happened yesterday. Once we score the first goal the players seem to think that it jobs done and don't push on to get a 2nd or 3rd goal.

It's frustrating watching us back off teams while we are dominant in a game.. For the first 25/30 mins we were playing well but we gradually sat off them for no reason & at half time it was obvious we were going to play in a defensive way. Its nerve wracking to watch but we are brilliant at doing it but I think luck plays its part.. It works so I'm not going to complain even though it is frustrating to watch :) Link to post Share on other sites
