Good first half, very poor second half.....very very lucky.

Our back 4 are a shambles at the minute, and if we weren't as lucky as we were today, we would have lost that match!
Why can't we keep it simple? All the second half we were just inviting Middlesbrough onto us.
The gods were shining down on us today, as Middlesbrough had plenty of clear cut chances, which on another day would have gone in.

Anyway at least we have the vital 3 points, but we need to sort our defensive play out!!
Such a shame we couldn't keep a vital clean sheet.

What a goal from Paddy though! Can't wait to see that one!

 

I thought Cranie and M'Voto did very well.

Boro had nothing to lose and just threw everything at us.

 

Please see my post, memo to flitcroft. ..

 

We should have scored at least 1 goal in the second half, we had the chances. They never looked like scoring in a month of Sundays, I thought we looked totally in control until the mad 2 minutes in the last 10 minutes. I thought both Mvoto and Cranie played well, really the problems came from our right, why was Jimbo last man? Wiseman went AWOL, again.......

 

Mvoto/ O`Grady cant mek mi mind up fer MoM.

 

It was exactly like the Derby home game from a few seasons ago... 3-0 up at half time and cruising then concede 2 late goals and nearly throw it away but thankfully holding on. Never do it the easy way!

 

can only recall a couple of 2nd half chances, Pedersen's where a player of his calibre should have done better, and O'brien's header. The rest was a typical 45 minute performance.
