PNE v Boro

[SF_]

Can't help but think we're just going to get shithoused by Pulis's lumps, we're still susceptible to high balls into the box.

Will be hard to break them down with our missing personnel up top, need another early goal, these guys don't lose when they score first.

Looks like Moult is starting, I reckon Nmecha could do a job cutting in from out wide but Barker also deserves a chance.

Hope Pearson and Gally are fit enough.

Rudd
Clarke, Huntington, Davies, Earl
Pearson, Gallagher
Barkhuizen, Browne, Nmecha/Barker
Moult
​

Narrow defeat.

Can’t see Gally starting after playing 90 minutes on Saturday, hope he does though.

Earl scares the shit out of me. I don't know why because I rate him highly and he rarely does anything catastrophically wrong.

I just find myself screaming at him to get tighter to his man all the time.

He's very young and turning into a top player, but I prefer Hughes at the moment.

Hughes offers more going forward on the overlap etc too.

I dunno about Earl, his crossing is generally gash but I think he's doing ok, needs games and you can't tinker after two wins on the bounce. Might need his extra height tonight.

Hughes is ok but not set the world alight, just shows how good Cunningham was.

Hunts needs launching out to see in a fucking rocket, shit c***

Yep, shithoused. Any ability that Boro team had has been completely coached out of them. They literally just play for set pieces. Love a dive too, booked twice for it.

If Paul Huntington deals with that situation like any normal defender should then we stroll a 1-0 win.

Referee was a joke too, zero consistency, they manhandled us all game, yet heaven forbid they get it back.

Good games from Barker, Pearson, Gallagher, Moult and Storey. Made them look daft at times. Have to think that we would have buried Boro with Robinson or Maguire on the pitch.

Pulis is a c***.

Would have took a point at the start of the game but in the end disappointed with just the 1. I thought we was quality considering the injuries, had Robinson played we'd have won that comfortably and been 1 up after a minute again.

I thought Storey was very very good, he keeps his place for me on saturday, hopefully Davies is fit and he'd come in for Huntington for me.

 

[PrestonCha]

Best I've seen us play for some time last night. Considering the opposition and the players we're missing.

On of the most one-sided draws you'll ever see.

Middlesbrough fans thought we were good too. Loads of positive comments on their forum.
