FT: MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Barry Shitpeas]

Who was the poster who complained recently that Ralls penalties were not convincing?!?!?

Has he missed one yet?

I'm pretty sure it's 5/5.

Jingle Bells !

From the radio it sounded as if NML and Hoillet had great games-was that how you saw it?

I wouldn’t say any individual was particularly great but overall it was a solid display and I feel we deserved to win the game. Ward should have scored early on when they gifted him a shot at goal. When NML and Hoilett pushed on in the second half we earned our penalty. Paterson and Bogle coming on was positive as well.

We had one effort off the line that was close but the ref said his goal line watch didn’t alert him, we won the penalty through persistence in getting into the box and we had that header from Hoilett. All better chances / efforts than boro produced.

We nearly blew it with a mix up in the final seconds by needlessly giving away a corner but we got the clearance and the ref blew up.

Terrific effort after the Birmingham debacle last week.

We're playing with a back three.

Didn't start as a back 3 though. Bamba was originally in midfield.

Becoming rather an accomplished pen taker.

Is it being investigated
