They looked more likely to win. They really, really, really didn't. To look likely to win, you have to get players in the half of the pitch to actually score goals. Today was reminiscent of playing a lower end team at the Riverside under Karanka. Ball passed side to side to try and find space for 70 minutes when they had 10 men. We were the better team before that too, if not through creating great chances. We didn't do that throughout but as with Karanka in those games, it's made incredibly difficult when you don't have anyone moving and don't have anyone who can pick the unthinkable pass and an absolute barrage of players in front of you so intent on keeping a defensive shape and nothing else. I think that was Britt's worst game for us this season and on the flip side, a thoroughly controlled performance from us via everyone else. Again, just like under Karanka, one goal changes the entire context of the game. Think of the Hull game with Nugent's header. Imagine Nugent heads that straight at the keeper and the whistle blows for full time. It paints an entirely different picture of the game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Good post but possibly indicates that Woodgate wants to ensure we do not lose! This has been part and parcel of Boro for so long now and fails very often and does nothing to win games. @BearSmog you will not have to wait too long before your next m/d thread is needed with the way things are going Link to post Share on other sites
