Middlesbrough Vs Brighton & Hove Albion *****Official Match Thread*****

I agree. He is not playing well at all. And he is the one player who we needed to play well. I wonder if it was his booking that has thrown him.

He was not up to much before the booking, so no.

 

[Wilko]

I am so annoyed with that first half performance. Gifting Boro chance after chance, giving the ball away and the strikers are doing NOTHING to hold the ball up. The ONLY positive is that we have kept the score down to 1-0. Pathetic first half.

 

[Ernest]

It's OVER

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

optimism time..second half hat trick for murphy..NOW GET SKILAK ON TO GIVE HIM SOME DECENT CROSSES.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

What time is kick off?

 

[dingodan]

At least we know from recent games that we have second half goals in us. We need some magic second half.

 

[Nathan]

We are not flowing, no shots on target needs to be adressed. Play the ball to feet and run at the defence.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Is Baldock playing?

I am hugely disappointed by his performance so far. Considering this is the biggest game of his life, his will and endeavour is a complete letdown. Standing around waiting for a ball in the 18-yard box is wishful to say the least. He needs to show some hunger and please just a bit more passion. Unless our front two are replaced or show more bite to their game, this a write-off.

My flatmate just told me "It's just a game".

****.

 

[wakeytom]

Doesn't help that the ref appears to be a homer

Based on what? There was a period of Brighton looking like Totingham the other night he has to give free kicks in that situation

 

[BadFish]

Last five minutes we were looking more like us. Still not over yet but it is going to take something special .

With this in mind I am changing tops and swapping beers.

 

[Mancgull]

Next goal is vital...only thing is that they look more likely to score it than us.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Have to admit, I think it was my fault. I lost the English stream and when I got up a spanish commentary, the smoggies scored.
All back so don't despair just yet

 

[KZNSeagull]

Typical Boro really - boring but effective. We need 2 moments of magic to break this lot down.

 

[portlander]

Need to fluke a quick goal and the pressure will build.

Good idea, I'll give it a go also

 

[perseus]

Got to win the second half 0-2.

We are winning the midfield battle. But losing vital balls.

 

[BadFish]

Changed beer too

 

[dingodan]

Remember the first game at the Amex? 1 - 0 down in the 80th minute.

Anything can happen.

BELIEVE.

 

[brakespear]

Changed beer too

I'm not drinking beer presently or I would too
