The timewasting from 'boro is unbearable this half...

Them and every team to visit turf Moor this season

[jos]

Glad Doak is off, good player

[Kgun5]

The amount of teams wasting time with bulls*t injuries against us is crazy

We do it when it suits us, (which i hate). But they make the house of glass, so...

[ElectroClaret]

Doak throwing a wobbler...

[whiffa]

Played about 15 minutes of football this half.

[Longsidebovril]

We need a JUSTICE moment

[Casper2]

Shocking defending

[Bow]

Fleming isn’t great is he

[Casper2]

e
Doak throwing a wobbler...

Hardly surprising

[JimmyRobbo]

Naive from the Chelsea Humphreys

[willsclarets]

Fleming isn’t great is he

He's a very good player. He's just not a 9.

[Robbie_painter]

Fleming isn’t great is he

Most midfielders aren’t when you put them up front

[JimmyRobbo]

Doak throwing a wobbler...

Hilarious.

Would have loved it when I was playing.

[willsclarets]

Our subs weren't right. Totally took our attacking threat away.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Both sides playing for the draw now.

[ksrclaret]

Our subs weren't right. Totally took our attacking threat away.

Yep. Middlesbrough couldn't have dreamed of a better set of subs for us to have made.

[whiffa]

Our subs weren't right. Totally took our attacking threat away.

I think Pires has looked more threatening than Luca. Also don't feel like Jay or Flemming have had an impact at all. Only strange one was taking Sarmiento off.

[tarkys_ears]

He ******* blew that quick!

[Rick_Muller]

I’d have taken a point before the game, feels like points dropped though

[Casper2]

Good first half , second half not so.

[JimmyRobbo]

Both sides playing for the draw now.

Agreed. For the last 10 mins.

[Rick_Muller]

I think Pires has looked more threatening than Luca. Also don't feel like Jay or Flemming have had an impact at all. Only strange one was taking Sarmiento off.

Not 100% fully fit

[JimmyRobbo]

Fair score.

[Tricky Trevor]

Poor match. Happy with a point. They had better footballers all over the field whilst we are stuck with the system.

[gandhisflipflop]

Fair result. Boro should have been down to 10 though

[Cazaris]

Fair result in awful conditions, could have easily been a 3-3 or higher without the wind

[Sheedyclaret]

Bright 1st half subs made the game worse alll offered nothing

[JimmyRobbo]

Good first half , second half not so.

Fair summary.

[Dyched]

Really poor in the end.

[Rick_Muller]

It really wasn’t a poor match. First half was the best we’ve been all season.

Conditions played a part in the second half for both teams

[Commy]

Poor match. Happy with a point. They had better footballers all over the field whilst we are stuck with the system.

A system that has square pegs in round holes. We need our attacking players back or buy someone decent in January.

[Conroy92]

Individual decisions cost us three points there.
Hannibal and Anthony both had the key moments to slip a man and in and didn't play it.
Subs I felt came at a poor time and disrupted the play. We look a pooer team without Sarmiento linking play.
Flemming making Juke look a worldy so far. At what point do people accept it's the system and not the striker.

Felt like a defeat after the first half felt like a win.

[AfloatinClaret]

Them and every team to visit turf Moor this season

including ourselves and more than once.

[Longsidebovril]

It was a good game in poor conditions. Enjoyed it.

[RVclaret]

Excellent first half, tougher second, probably conditions part of that. Lacked any real game changers on the bench today out wide.

[ksrclaret]

I'd love to know the thoughts behind ending the game with a midfielder on the right wing, a midfielder up front, and another 3 midfielders in midfield behind them.

Great first half but we ought to have lost the second half.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Tonight proves just how much we need a striker in January

[mdd2]

Given the conditions that was a good game of football

[JimmyRobbo]

Fair result. Boro should have been down to 10 though

Yup. Arsenal would have rolled around shouting for cards and then got them.

I actually agree that the ref sort of got it right. Nobody was really hurt. Prem: he was off.

[boatshed bill]

Fair result, Boro are a decent team.

[AfloatinClaret]

That was a very fair result and congratulations to the players on both sides for producing a game that good in such appalling conditions

[Stonehouse]

Would have taken a point,conditions atrocious,Middlesbrough are one of the top teams and for all of the 1st half we battered them and with a bit of luck could have won.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I'll take a draw in those conditions. At times second half it was like kicking a beach ball into a strong sea breeze

[FCBurnley]

Decent game in awful conditions. Fair result. EJR a big miss. Egan not good enough. We need a striker. Happy with the point

[willsclarets]

I think Pires has looked more threatening than Luca. Also don't feel like Jay or Flemming have had an impact at all. Only strange one was taking Sarmiento off.

Not a major gripe, we were great first half. But at home, with ambitions of top 2 I think we could've used Houtondji plus Flemming, who poor fella can't get 10 mins in a position he's scored loads of goals for Millwall. Sarmiento could've replaced Luca left with Flemming behind the striker. But we've not tried it once. For the last 30 we were very flat. Terrible conditions though tbf

[KateR]

Not great conditions, certainly could have been worse going one down early, but fair result in the end, but think they’ll be happier with a point than we are. Still a good run, hopefully we can build a it Tuesday night.

[Terry Cochrane]

I’d have taken a point before the game, feels like points dropped though

Nah. They had the better chances frankly. Take a point.

[Buxtonclaret]

Always disapointing not winning at home.
A point is better than none.

[boatshed bill]

I'd love to know the thoughts behind ending the game with a midfielder on the right wing, a midfielder up front, and another 3 midfielders in midfield behind them.

Great first half but we ought to have lost the second half.

SP decided a point was all we were likely to get?
