Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion
Just watched Bamford goal replay. That must be that he’s scored with every part of his body now. Except his foot, obviously.
I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

Who do we think the luck was with tonight?
Just hope it stays with us, and hopefully Ipswich have had loads and it runs out.

Could do with a draw tomorrow! Nonetheless, a win on Friday would mean Southampton can't catch us.

No idea, I've a feeling it maybe less but 93 for sure.

I think we want Leicester to beat Saints now
Probably means Saints against us is pointless for them and it's us v Ipswich for autos

We have to win v QPR, that would mean Ipswich are pressured to win both games in hand..

Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion
Wrong sub for me. We needed a straight replacement for Paddy. They huffed and puffed against us with all that possession. I don’t think they looked much different to how we do on occasion against a low block. With added pace and endeavour in the shape of Joseph I think we would have caught them again on the break.
They score a third because we tried to control it. Got done on the break with a long ball because Amps and Rodon had pushed up. Latte’s finish was fantastic. Absolutely nothing wrong with Mesliers position - the last thing he does is stand on his line in that situation.

Need to win both anyway. Can't afford to drop anymore points.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 9:30 pm We have to win v QPR, that would mean Ipswich are pressured to win both games in hand..

I questioned it the second it was made, but felt that it wouldn’t be an issue given the commanding lead. But unquestionably, we were playing with ten men out there with him on the pitch…

If we can't beat QPR we don't deserve autos

Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion
A slog.
This sit back stuff doesn't suit us, never has, always concede.
A mixed bag player wise but we got the win which is what matters.
Really pleased at times to see Gray getting forward and Gnonto and Jimmy swapping, made us much less predictable than normal which was nice change.
Thought Firpo was solid by and large.
Bamford had his good and bad moments, as did Georgie.
Structure was lost though with the subs and we just kept sitting back and it nearly cost us.
Should have been Joseph for Piroe (if you want the counter shuttle run stuff) all be it JP showed composure to play James in who should have scores (and was poor).
Meslier is a weakness, said it all season, promoted or not he needs replacing imo.

Depends if Southampton win their next two games. All four could be in a shout for an auto spot if that happens.whiteinfrance wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 9:28 pm I think we want Leicester to beat Saints now

Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion
I don't buy this nothing to play for stuff, no professional footballer gives up the chance to win.. Won't matter if Southampton are in play or not, they'll be a tough out
In fact you could make the case they'll be relaxed and wanting to hit the playoffs with a win if they're out of the auto race, whereas they could be nervy if they still have a chance
Plus everyone wants to beat Leeds
