Taken from the boro site:
It’s time to calm down and look at the bigger picture, we got away with one last night, Stoke were the better team, and coming away with a point , although disappointing it’s a point gained, we could of easily lost that match. We never really clicked as a team, our quick passing tempo was off, and credit to Stoke, they had a game plan, kept our danger men quiet for the most part, and targeted our weak areas of the pitch, our left sided defence been one of them. So no panic, we dust ourselves down and go again against Preston on Saturday.

Great game and we are a joy to watch at the moment, solid AND dangerous, looking forward to Saturday already. What does amaze me is how fucking long has it has taken to do what all of us have been saying for ages. ie ditch the 5 at the back. There is an argument for the personnel change, but the formation and tactical change is much to do with our improvement. Well said! And full backs getting forward anyway which was always the case with Marsh & Pej!!

It was one of Bonham's better games but do you really think that he deserved an 8? The 4th best player on the pitch behind Akpom, Pearson, and Hoever?! Without the goal I think Hoever was the worst of the back 4. But he got it so yeah 😂 You on a wind up mission???

Try the link I posted above mate. It gives a smaller difference and clicking on the shot map shows how they worked it out. It doesn't really feel right but I can see how they got there. E.g. Hoever's goal was at a tighter angle while theirs was right in the middle. The non-scoring chances our xG were pretty close - and mostly from Ramsey on 36 mins and McNair near the end, which were both really central and short-mid range. Do they not take into account the fact that McNair was a yard offside? Missed by the shit lino on the nearside. Agreed, was onside for original pass but as their player headed it on I agree he was offside then…..

I was thoroughly proud of last nights performance. Anyone who can't just see the postive moves forward we are making is a joyless cunt.

Would have been happy with a draw before the game, but now feel disappointed that we didnt get the win we deserved

AN has th3 team playing as a team - momentum is so important, but gets disrupted every now and again such as internationals - but if we can stay focused 11 points behind play offs - you never know even though highly unlikely

It’s all about a high place finish to attract the highest quality players in the summer. As the results stand now, it is 13 points off too.
