Boro v Norwich City match thread

[erimus74]

For 70 minites they made no inroads at all, passing the ball from right to left along the halfway line, then we got the penalty & from that instant it was backs against the wall with the home crowd sensing something & they got it with a cracking goal bringing it to 3-2, then the howler from Deing

I WAS THERE WHEN THEY CAME BACK FROM 4-1 DOWN TO DRAW 4-4  😡😡😡😡😡😡

AND AS FOR DIENG....BEEN SAYING FOR WEEKS HE NEEDS DROPPING....GIVE SOL HIS LEAGUE DEBUT 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[Too Much Perspective]

Beaten by two world class strikes and one awful goal. That Sainz looks class. Decent away point that.
After Bristol, if someone had offered me 4 points from Sheff U and Norwich, I'd have said yes please.

[erimus74]

GUTTED, 😔

[Francks left peg]

I mean I just don't understand those pathetic stutter run ups. Cost us the game that. Method for penna success. Walk to half way line. Head down. Turn around. Sprint full pelt towards Penna spot
Hit low and hard as possible. Head over ball. On target goal. Keeper gets hand to it..loses hand..still goal. Simple. See Shearer and Lindy D!

[Nosmo-King]

Do a HICKTON!

Do a HICKTON!

Vig John, then Leadbitter, we've haad a few in between but those two were exceptional, as Nosmo-king says, just hit the blooming thing

No it didn't, that was down to master tactician Carrick's, as-per-usual, like-for-like substitutions immediately afterwards - arrogantly assuming the game was in the bag.

[borope]

Gutted but what a game.

Tbf,yes I was absolutely astounded by that too.

End to end stuff

[erimus74]

Dijksteel & Doak my two top performers, hope Dijksteel has done enough to keep his place v Coventry

[borope]

Doak was brilliant. What a difference compared to Jones.

[erimus74]

With Conway missing his spot kick to record his hat trick Jelly Vossen remains the last Boro player to score an away hat trick when he bagged a treble at the New Den on the 6th December 2014

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

WATCHED THE EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS 😡

ANOTHER 2 POINTS THROWN AWAY...CONWAY SHOULD NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PEN AND DIENG HAS COST US MANY POINTS THIS SEASON...DROP HIM....JONES FFS....DROP HIM FROM THE WHOLE SQUAD...CAN SEE HE SPAT THE DUMMY OUT....EVERY FUCKING WEEK IF ITS NOT STRIKERS NOT SCORING...ITS A DEFENDER OR THE KEEPER COSTING US POINTS OR THE GAME...WE NEED TO CUT THIS SHIT OUT....IF DIENG DOESN'T GET DROPPED THEN CARRICK IS A FOOL 😌

[erimus74]

Still not sure why Carrick took off Doak, the penalty saved lifted Norwich & the whole stadium, making them two needless subs lifted them another notch, with Doak on he was still tormenting two of their players, maybe Conway yes but certainly not Doak, the game swung massively at that moment & almost another of case of Boro grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory

Thats 5 points dropped in our last two away games when the results were more or less in the bag

Never been sold on Dieng !! Too many mistakes and never gets hold of a shot. Defo an area to strengthen in my opinion , for what its worth 😂😂

[erimus74]

Fingers crossed Dijksteel retains his place at the weekend

[TeessideTopgun]

No room for sulking players in a successful squad ( not accusing anyone just commenting  ) 

The 11 on the pitch have to prove the manager right , the lads on the bench have to prove him wrong when the chance comes !!

This is allegedly the scenario every top manager wants, hopefully our squad by into this

Shape up or ship out 💪💪

UTB👍

[erimus74]

Are we starting to see the Boro gel into a fine attacking team who will now start to put those many chances away?

Thinking all day about the game yesterday, we're all gutted but at the end of the day we conceded two classic finishes that could either go into the back of the net, or balloon over the stands, nine times out of ten they would still be travelling towards jupiter, unfortunately they nestled in the back of our net, but some of the football we were guilty of was breathtaking, the speed to get to the other end of the pitch was so impressive. The penalty save & subs changed the game against a team we were far better than, a team who haven't lost at home for 12 months & a team we fell behind after 9 minutes yet turned the game on its head.
20 minutes into the second half we were so professional & keeping Norwich to just passing the ball aimlessly on the half way line & all looking really good, until the penalty decision 

[Ural Quntz]

It wasn't exactly a penalty save though - more of a gentle back pass
