Boro Match Thread

[Fraggy]

strike of the season. Wont be goal of the season as the build up wasn't great, but a clean great strike.
I'm watching from NYC and I can saw we look good, we arne't under non-stop pressure or anything and haven't really been. Chances going for both sides leading up to the goal and best chances have been ours.

Fizz across the box from Smyth could have been a goal on its own or from any sort of tap in was the best chance.
And then the wonder strike from Dozzel.

If Armstrong wouldn't of pulled up, he would of had an easy tap in.
Great work by Smyth though.

HT 0-1

Didn't look too bad, hopefully subbed as a precaution.

lets hope so

like what ive seen with Cook an old head with experience a little in same mould as Richard Dunne i reckon? too much praise too soon?

Not at all.
Cook reads the play really well.

He is always looking before receiving the ball to see where to send it next.

someone said on here the other day Dozzell is pulling his socks up and against Ipswich he played well

have you seen today apart from the great strike hes just scored anything to say to us all he will become a better player than hes shown us?

i cant see it myself i really dont think hes championship level player i hope to be proved wrong

but every game ive seen him and its over 20 games now ive never hardly noticed him on the pitch sometimes for a whole 90 minutes

Must be good for Dozzels confidence. He looks much better this season.

Not really, he is still Dozell.

You can see that he tries and wants to do well for the team, but he just seems to lack that bit of quality in the middle of the park.

Unsure whether the current coaching staff and the players around him can help him improve.
I was hoping playing close to Field would rub off on him, but still waiting.

To be fair to Dozzell it’s not just the goal.

Putting himself about, not pulling out of tacklers, and had blood all down his shorts after one clash.

He is helping contain the Boro threat with his discipline.

One of a few players who actually look better under Ainsworth, whose skills as a manager may have been underestimated.

Richard Dunne read the game well

I did - I just saw Dunne and forgot about ole Paddy Dunne

Pretty much how i sum him up without seeing him that often this season INFACT i havent seen him at all this season as i wasnt at the Ipswich game only been to the mickey mouse cup this term so far

looking forward to the sunderland game

Players coming out for 2nd half

[Fraggy]

Nice save by Begovic

[Fraggy]

They're doubling up on Smyth

[Fraggy]

Dozell with last minute tackle to stop Boro going 1 on 1 with Begovic which then had us breaking the other way with Armstrong, saved by Senny.
