We should be better. If we keep playing games of two halves we won’t stay up there much longer. First half we were not good enough, we had to be better. Passing and passing and being predictable, it was too easy to defend. Hellberg was fantastic, subsitiutes were on point and the tactics were great. Second half was great. We moved quicker, got balls in earlier and dominated the game. Sarmiento was a game-changer and we looked very good, still undefeated at home! Cozier-Duberry was a fantastic signing, very fun to watch and MOTM for me. Just need to maintain our level through a 90 and we’ll be well in the battle for automatics. UTB!

frustrating because i know we can be better than this, that back line was shocking, that first half was shocking, this was a chance to make it to the top of the table and we didn't take it which is just so typical of us second half was far better but it's hard to see the positives when the goals we conceded shouldnt have been conceded in the first place, it is really frustrating and lowkey i might get slimed out for saying this but one good ball from ayling doesn't make me super keen on forgetting this really rough performance. it was one where we should have shined especially when that millwall side is so down with injuries right now. i want ayling to prove me wrong but i'm really starting to feel myself lose hope in him which makes me sick to say to be fair :( a point is better than none but i'm back to be really discouraged, we have to stop playing 45 minutes like shit then the other far better, it's the most stressful thing ever but onto the positives i think the subs were well timed and really made the difference when they were put on. i love hellberg and the way he treats the players and how well he's able to read the game. boro's always fun to watch for me ! love watching them ! but sometimes it's just hard to look at the positives, onto the next !!
