I did like the new 4-0-6 formation Dougie employed for the last 10 mins.

It involved a lot of not getting back with the Boro attackers and standing on the halfway line with your hands on your hips.
What a hero, What a man...... Ooooh, what a bad foul...

One of our better players on the night - at the very least finds a white shirt with his distribution and is now comfortable enough to hold the ball until he has an option.

Someone you missed from your list is Bogdan. Unaccustomed as I am to praising our goalkeepers, this is the second game on the spin that Ginge has been excellent. Commanded his box, confident, rock-solid handling, a cracking save in the second half and, as Twilight attests - could be heard constantly bossing / organising the back four, came for stuff that he previously didn't bother with. Hope he keeps it up.
Maybe. But his constant diving in and letting men beat him easily in doing so is becoming incredibly frustrating. I don't think we'll ever have a watertight defence whilst he is part of it. And yes he's decent on the ball but I didn't think last night was a good showcase for that either. Gave it away a fair bit and plenty of his passing was aimless.

If we could combine him and McNaughton we'd have a really good full back, but as it is....
Aye well, I may be wrong but I'm guessing you weren't at Watford? Be careful what you wish for, the spectre of Moxey looms large.

ha ha, yes Bruce, Although last night was a pretty poor game it does not come near to competing with the Watford game, and Moxeiy (aka Gerald Cid) was dreadful. I thought Ream did ok last night but hey ho we all have different opinions

Looking at the highlights makes me think...hey, we didn't do THAT badly. We seemed to be competitive. I actually think that the missing link in the team is Mark Davies. Without him, we are too predictable.

Forgot to say last night. Went into the club shop to waste some time before the match, and there was a bloke pinching one of the new home shirts. Don't know whether he got away with it though as we went out a few minutes later and he was still there

Ta!

Having looked at it again - their pengy looked like a pengy - he's almost playing tennis with it (less the racquet).

Not sure about our disallowed goal - deffo a nudge in the back - but really, really marginal....

I just didn't like Kike's reaction, all arm waving trying to get a card like a child.

And how in the world can Beckford nudge someone in the back when he's goalside with his back to the player? Not having that one, Perfectly good goal.

Nah, the defender was backing into him!! He put his hands up, as any normal person would. Not a push in a million years.

Besides, If you watch again that's not what the ref blows for, He let's that go as he should and blows for the next time they come into contact, where Beckford is facing goal and the defender is all over him.

I think that's why he gave it - like I said - tough decision, but could just about see it.

I wouldn't put any faith in last night's ref blowing at the time of the incident. He clearly wasn't that quick...

Nothing wrong with Beckford's goal.

Did you notice that absolute toe-rag waving a card at the ref for Wheater's accidental handball? They got the penalty and had already had a big let off with their own man on our penalty...but oh no, not enough. What a xxxx

This is exactly what comes to mind when I think of him, but others seem to be suggesting he played well?

there are people think Trotter did when he actually played like a lollypop man looking for his stop sign.
