Boro started the brighter with Hammil playing well on left wing.After 10/15 mins we started pressing and for the rest of the half most of the play was in their half.Definitely "won" the half.Boro made 2 subs but we were still in charge. Then on the hour free header from a corner put them in front.We let our heads drop for a while but for the last 20 mins it was almost continual pressure from us.The 2nd goal in injury time was a clanger by Steel who was trying to start yet another attack.Overall a really promising performance IMHO
Don't you bring your 'I went to the match saw what happened on the pitch and feel fairly optimistic' load of crap on here, we've a selection of pessimistic whingers to satisfy and I'm afraid that kind of talk is not going to help them feel more despair !
Agreed, first time we've performed in at least half a dozen games I'd say. Won't stop my step father (boro season ticket holder) having a word like - he had a fair few to say driving back down - a few of which admitting we were as good as he's seen at the riverside in a while - but mostly taking the piss. I'm not one of the hill haters but have been concerned at the lack of performance recently - but I'll always accept losing if it's done in the manner of last nights. 2-0 has never been so flattering.
Thanks for the assessment Paul, hopefully it will shut the 'we're **** and going down 'doom-mongers up for a day or two.
That report cheers me up no end Paul. Thanks. Look North must have read the BBC's Teletext report: 'The home side were better throughout and were only denied a bigger scoreline by a stubborn Tykes defence.'
