That would have been goal of the season for them.

Eccles tried to trip him up but failed.

Corner.

[SkyblueTexan]

We look like shite

 

[Cov98]

Hands on the shoulder from Binks to be fair

I've seen worse contact not given as a foul. You wouldn't mind if something like that is given every time, but it's not. It's so inconsistent.

 

[Nick]

Another great save from Collins.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Back to being shite again.

 

[Evo1883]

A pretty awful half by our standards .. midfield being ruined ..Bobby thomas is a one man army atm

 

[SkyblueTexan]

So many close calls.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

The two centre backs are getting no support from anywhere.
Both fullbacks and the defensive midfielders are invisible.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Why is he doing that, just take a few more steps and shoot.

 

[Nick]

Why did o'Hare do that then?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Just shoot it COH

 

[Cov98]

Cal should've gone himself ffs

 

[jordan210]

Not leaving some one up for corners is screwing us over as no outlet so ball just comes back

 

[shepardo01]

Still sounds like we can't get out of our own half....
They will meet our 100 corners per goal threshold in this game alone if we carry on like this!

 

[skyblu3sk]

O'Hare should have shot!

 

[Esoterica]

O'Hare clean through on goal and decides to try and square it through 3 Middlesbrough players...

 

[baldy]

Have we got to worry about interest in Saka in the January and Summer window?

No

 

[Nick]

How does the ref let their player 2 handed push Eccles in the back off the ball and not do anything?

 

[suffolkskyblue24]

Did I just see Collins actually catch the ball?!?

 

[Nick]

Great from Saka

Wright should have done so much better! Good first touch but tried to kill it rather than just place it.

 

[Marty]

Great ball from Saka, but Wright needs to do better

 

[Fysnkysc]

so close wright

 

[PVA]

Huge chance there, great chest down but awful finish

 

[Alkhen]

Oof, slashed by Wright. Lovely ball from Tatsu

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Wright! He did all the hard work!

 

[Cov98]

Sakamoto has been incredible these last few games, his passing has been top class.

 

[Mr Panda]

Messi like from Sakamoto cutting in, playing off others and then dinking one in for Hajji

 

[LastGarrison]

Have to say Middlesbrough have played some great stuff.

Although that should have been 2.

 

[jim20]

How does the ref let their player 2 handed push Eccles in the back off the ball and not do anything?

Better then sending their player and Eccles off

 

[MalcSB]

Sakamoto really is a brilliant player.

 

[Esoterica]

It's going to be an absolute nerve-wracking 2nd half. We're set up to counter attack today but Middlesbrough have caught us out a bit by sitting deep, allowing us to play, and trying to nick the ball off us and counter too. Going to be end to end madness 2nd half i think.

 

[Seymour_East]

People say no creative midfielder but some of the balls Tats puts in are pretty neat

 

[Marty]

Class save from Collins

 

[Nick]

Another good save from Collins.

 

[wingy]

Sakamoto will get stronger second half.
