[TANGODANCER]

Free kick us on halfway and.....Wilson and...O gets it and...O'Neil, Lowe and Mac almost gets on a n effort by Magennis. Mic chat, and Williams tries, back to their keeper and Ben wallops. Mac and.......and...Grounds....and.....Lowe and Williams and.....Grounds and Vela.....fires it straight at the keeper.

[DJBlu]

Josh Vela with a decent chance.

Needed to put his laces through it.

[dave the minion]

Going in the book!

[TANGODANCER]

Vela tried a sidefoot and the home crowd not happy about that chance. Liner offsides a rebound off the post goal tap in...Phew. Now Boro player...shedding blood but getting treated on the field.

Goal kick us and...that ends with Mac getting a yellow card for a slide challenge. Beevers, Wilson and....Downing gets a card for a challenge on Wilson? Mic men chat, goal kick goes out asnd Ostumer replaces Vela.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Yes but in that worse start I believe we had shots on goal, in fact I think we started well in games but were too open in midfield

Stats back up that argument.
L 0-4 A Hull 9 shots / 5 on target
L 0-3 H Boro 9/4
L 0-1 H Blades 13/2
L 0-2 A Ipswich 16/3
L 0-3 H Brentford 10/3
L 0-2 A Bristol C 5/3
L 0-1 A Villa 10/3

[TANGODANCER]

Come on lads, Beevers, they collect and cross and Wilson has to give a corner away. And...it goes to Downing and they get yet another chance via a Downing cross. Low gets done for a hand ball and they have the free 25 out. Downing? and.....some scores and.....it ends with a Saville volley wide. Goal kick us. Meanwhile after a mic chat or two about Parkytactics, we resume and....well, in a minute....and ......must be nowt going on on the pitch. NOW THEN......OHHHHHHHH, Mageenis lashes one and wins a corner. Two players nod it back to the keeper after what was called our best move of the match. Sheffield 2 up on Forest...

Corner them again and.....hacked away. Ends up back with their keeper.

[TANGODANCER]

Mclean comes on for them and replaces Downing. Asombalonga and ? also coming on. Saville, Clayton and....Ostumer goes forth Williams, Oztumer again and.....Wheater heads it back. McLean wins a throw as Braithwaite leaves for Asombalonga. (not our favourite opponent) Oztumer, Grounds, O tries, they clear and.....come on lads, get at em. Looksa like they fancy getting another goal. We have a bit of possession then.... a goal kick them. Friends leaves for Mo....? and Wildschutt leaves for Grounds.

[TANGODANCER]

Throw us now as Magennis goes at them. Another throw and.....some useless mither.....then....Magennis and....Assombalonga gets a free kick and a card for Wheater as he dives beautifully. McLean and....hits the wall then Asombalonga hits the side netting off a rebound. Corner them and.....it passes the post via a Flint header. Come on Whites.....free kick us, a quick one and...headed out. Yannick goes and.....his shot gets cleared and...Ben thankfully manages to clear. Bad cross goes to Ben.....O goes, O'Neil, again and..Williams, Magennis, Oz, goes and....Yannick and...Magennis and...we get a throw. Oz, Williams....O, and....we get a throw near their box. And......five and a half plus addeds.

[DJBlu]

Boro have been poor and are coasting to a 1 nil victory. Devoid of ideas going forward.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Oh look, the ball boys have gone.

F*ck you, Pulis.

[twilight]

We are even poorer though

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Wheater up front.

Don't worry though, Lowe is filling in his space in the middle of the back three.

[twilight]

Almost full time

[TANGODANCER]

Williams, Friend....Assombalonga......and..again and......Shotton and....Wheats part cleares, then clears again for a throw. Four and counting...They come....and....Boro have a throw. Ref hustles it on and.....Clayton? Beswick..... and McLean wins a corner. Come on lads, let's not lose to a stupid goal again ......come on....Wilson, Williams and.....Wildschutt can't get away. Too may Whites in our half and.....Wildschutt fires a deflected one to their keeper. Wheats goes forth and.....they come visiting again......COME ON LADS..........COME ON.....O....Wheats....some scores....and 5 mins added. And....Wilson, Oztumer......Maggenis cant capitalise. And meanwhile on the edge.....Lowe gets a throw and Wildschutt, wILLIAMS, wILSO, Lowe....back....up the park. Wildshcutt and....a handball shout gets ignored. Williams booked? .........tick-tock.....and Okovsky rants at a ball boy for time waiting......

Magennis almost gets a chance with a foot in and....we get a throw as Clayton wallops one into the crowd. Assombalonga dashes forth and makes it 2-0. Good night,

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Another gift goal.

[officer_dibble]

Knew he’d score tonight.

[DJBlu]

I'm done.
Absolutely mental defending gifts another goal.

PP. If you attack team, you spend less time defending. That showing tonight is unacceptable.

[Jugs]

If PP would let us attack teams from the start, we'd probably be okay. As it is, we give teams a head start too often, sit back - and concede goals.

Otz looked good, nice and comfortable on the ball and lovely dummy. Probably won't see him now until November.
