Match Thread Middlesbrough v Leicester

[Matt_B]

Yes, it's not entertaining but this is exactly what we should have been doing away this season.

We're compact, strong, frustrating the opposition and defensively well organised.

Had we set up like this more this season we might have picked up more than two points from nine matches.

Back to basics is exactly what I want to see away from home. Ugly away points are a sign of progress.

Exactly. I'm sure some would sooner see us lose playing exciting football than draw playing dull.

Not in the game at all now

Only a matter of time

Trying to be positive about our performance but Boro are shite. I'm hoping we nick this, first scorer will be key.

 

[Motown Fox]

Musa on Mahrez off to Africa

 

[Billyjof]

Oh god Leo.... That is why you don't get picked

 

[Matt_B]

Musa out until May

Looks like were playing not to lose. I reckon we're sitting too deep.

 

[Graz]

We're battling for it and showing some fight which is better than a lot of away games this season. Can't see us scoring though.

Ramirez should've just scored for them! Let off.

Albrighton on for Mendy. Think Mendy's done alright today

Wes is a very lucky boy

 

[yackandandah]

If we get a point (or more??), it's due to them missing chances.

Exactly. I'm sure some would sooner see us lose playing exciting football than draw playing dull.

I'm not so sure this is the case. There is a difference between being dull and working hard to create something now and then which we did in the first half, to being dull and sitting back, trying to defend wave after wave of attack without any attacking intent whatsoever as has been the case in the second half.

 

[Cate Fox]

Musa out until May

Huh?

 

[londonfox]

If we get a point (or more??), it's due to them missing chances.

They've only had one.

 

[homer]

75% possession

Wow

 

[Brown Nose]

If we get a point (or more??), it's due to them missing chances.

We've had three shots on target to their one.

 

[Motown Fox]

Musa got his head in well then.
