A good point today as were rarely in the game. Having said that, what did Phillips have to do?

Fair point, the best save of the game probably came from the Boro keeper.

Shocking performance, dreadful.

Never in the game, comprehensively outplayed, lucky to get an undeserved point.

The Wilson free kick and Morrison goal aside, we created nothing.

Pack is stealing a living at this level. There can’t be a slower player in the Championship, and he offers nothing.

Ng and Nelson can never pass a ball forward to a blue shirt, just kick it aimlessly.

Murphy never looked interested, Vaulks had a stinker, and Flint looked like a bloke who couldn’t get in the Sheff Wed team. He gave that equaliser away. Cumbersome and slow.

The only players I’d give credit to are Moore, Morrison and Bennett.

Bacuna and Ojo came on, didn’t contributed a thing.

Stinker!

I don’t understand why MM didn’t freshen it up and start a couple of players like Ojo, Bacuna and Ralls.

Oh goody, Mr Happy is back after a five week sabbatical. Wonder where he has been ?

He had to make his move after a hard fought draw in a war of attrition against a rival close to us in the table, he may have been fearing he’d not get another chance because of us going 100% until the end of the season

I know they're mates but it's a bit annoying to hear about Warnock promoting MM for the job when he left. MM has found a style of play for this squad but (Danny Ward aside and a year younger Hoilett) I don't fancy MM playing to squad Warnock left.

well there was nothing to complain about was there?

Re: MIDDLESBROUGH v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Just watched the manager's interviews.
Mick pretty accurate in his assessment, basically not the best game he'd ever been involved with.
Neil's was one of "Mick will know he's got away with one there".
Yeah right, you gave us a footballing lesson

Awful game with both keepers having **** all to do.

Take a point all day long

The only players I’d give credit to are Moore, Morrison and Bennett.

Joe Bennett, who's default settings in possession are: (a) play it to some invisible winger in the first row of the stand, or (b) shape to cross it to our 6 ft 5in centre forward who's on fire, then turn inside and play a 30-yard pass back to the centre half instead.

Not as funny as this from Warnock after the match, mind: "We played some good stuff at times. We passed it well."

Funny, I can’t remember us being treated to your opinion of our previous six games, maybe I missed them?

Most depressing "fan" ever.

A good result.
Looked a tired performance.

Thank you ‘Boring Bob’, for taking time out from writing your tedious blog, to share your acerbic wit with me!

Probably because we'd won the last 6 games.

So, you must have read my blog at some time to come to the conclusion it's "tedious" or are you just replying out of some sort of compulsive need to always have the last word?

Anyway, can I say from one bore to an even bigger one that I've finished with this thread now (two replies are way too many for anything you start), so go ahead, have your last word.

Just please carry on your blog Bob in exactly the same format/style.

Games were coming thick and fast, there would undoubtedly be tired legs.

I’m sure there were many who couldn’t believe he didn’t make 2/3 changes.

That’s what a squad is for, and with players returning to fitness we had a much stronger bench of players available, to allow him to do that.
