northern boro 449 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 First 36-minutes was the best we've played this season Then Johnson got sent off... Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 640 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Marvin Johnson is an absolute ***. Hope he’s never seen in a Boro shirt again. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,982 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 In my opinion trying to protect the lead is the right thing with our defence. We regularly get carved open when we have 11 men on the pitch, trying to play more attacking football with 10 I think would have been even more of a disaster than that was. For me woodgate is stuck between a rock and a hard place and those dropped 2 points fall squarely on the shoulders of johnson. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,328 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 10 games without a win is very concerning, my goodness the Barnsley game is mammoth Link to post Share on other sites

BegSteeleOrBoro 55 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sorry - but it’s a bit unfair to be hammering the manager for bringing off 1 of 2 attackers to try and defend a 2 goal league. Almost any manager would do that - and it makes sense tactically. You could argue that he took the wrong player off - as assombolonga is not great at chasing down defenders on his own (but he had a great first half). Johnson is to blame. Idiotic red card and totally uncalled for. Shame because we actually looked like we were playing good football. I think this season is pretty much a dead duck. We’ll find a way to pick up enough points (to stay up) and need to clear the forest of deadwood that is our playing staff at the end of the year. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 At least there’s positives we can take. we carried on our improved form from the qpr game, we got a couple of good goals and the players looked transformed in the first half. Its a sickener to only get a point but playing over the full 90 minutes has been our downfall all season. It’s definately better than earlier in the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 ...aaaaaannnnd breathe and relax... As good as Boro were in the first half, they were absolutely dire in the 2nd half. Suppose you can at least partly put that down to Woodgate's reaction to Johnson's sending off...but surely the players should have the common sense to realise that camping in your own penalty area and letting the opposition have so much time on the ball isn't a recipe for success? Granted Hull's first goal was a bit out of nowhere...but their equaliser felt pretty much inevitable. Boro were also pretty lucky they didn't manage to get a winner. Overall, a draw feels like a fair result (and I would have taken it before kick-off). Yes Johnson was an idiot to get himself sent off like that...but the rest of the team need to realise they've got to step up and not just retreat into their shells. Link to post Share on other sites
