Rich Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I find it very worrying that Butt still is in this side at a time when we should have gotten rid of dead meats just like him. He's been excellent since he came on. Hes been OK, nowhere near excellent Hasnt put a foot wrong. Howay Chez, I love Nicky as much as any but a couple of his passes were stinking (particularly the one where Jonas was cutting in on goal). He was solid though, very solid. 'Boro had all but packed in by the time he came on like. As for the game on the whole, pretty bland, but another win and another clean sheet. Should have plenty left in the tank for Boxing Day, based on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Straight forward win. Top marks for Colo, Enrique and Guthrie. Poor game by Nolan but that's nit picking on a comfortable day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith doesn't really use his brain as much as he should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly mate he gave it away a good few times, perhaps even half a dozen in the spell he was on. He always does, unfortunately. I'm fairly certain the pass for Jonas was a run-of-the-mill five yard ball from the deck as well like, so maybe my memory is shot/I was seeing things. That's not me being funny, I honestly dunno about the technique of the pass, just that it nearly went out for a throw. By the same token, he did play a few nice passes and made some very decent tackles/interceptions! "Didn't put a foot wrong" is just a bit strong for me, although I always appreciate a good bit of optimism! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt give the ball away either so which was the other pass? As soon as he came on he did an overhead kick in the middle of the pitch to put it out for no reason. A few mins afterwards from a corner he crossed it out of play towards the corner flag. Just have a look back in this thread man, you werent watching if you missed his mistakes. He got better as the game improved yes, boro were already down by that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Finished the game quite well there after a shit first half. Guthrie came into the game much more and we stopped lumping it long which helped. Mark Bright is an utter pillock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
