    Take the point but we need to work out a quicker way of playing.

    We need to play Rusyn. Never Burstow.

    Can't believe Jobe lasted the full 90. Rusyn to start everyweek.

    Few lovely balls into areas from Jacky that nobody was even close to.

    If we can get into positions we start scoring a lot more.

    This is why I was screaming we need a proper 10

    Will take the point seeing how poor we were.

    Rusyn is just levels above Burstow

    Bellingham made the near run which took all of the defenders away too. Was a very good move all around

    Not great but to get a point after that is canny. Rusyn is our striker let's stop messing about and give him a run of games

    Don’t like Beales teams (yet maybe) dull and too rigid. But goals change games and we could have won it in the end. Where has all the energy and movement gone though

    I think all things considered that's a decent point for us.

    Burstow should never play for us again! Jobe needs taking out but apart from that quite happy with the rest of them great start for hjelde and great finish by Rusyn.

    Barring the first 30 or so minutes of the second half we were value for that point, don’t even have any idea how we were so ****e second half we looked totally uninterested and unable to compete. Clarke immense as usual.

    Rusyn did well and put plenty of effort in, deserved his goal.

    I'm sorry like, but Sky is an absolute joke, you'd think someone had died. Devastated for Boro it seems. And don't for a second think Cattermole isn't gutted sat there.

    Problem is I'm not sure Rusyn is a striker. But I agree he's better than Burstow.
