    Birmingham bookings start, we can catch these on the break.

    There was a moment there when almost every outfield player was in the centre circle.

    Burstow looking more like a football player.

    Boro 2-0 at Lesta.

    Burstow has to be more mobile, he admires his touches instead of making the runs. We look solid at the back and quite comfortable in central midfield

    Jobe is having a good game today. He really looks up for it and he's been strong on the ball.

    Whilst he was like an “angry kid” on Wednesday, I liked it. Showed aggression although occasionally misdirected. Obviously “playing” for us

    As Gary Bennet said he should be putting that level of effort every game not just against Birmingham

    Bristol 0-1 QPR

    Excellent from Mundle, great save Ruddy.

    Much the better side here.

    He's just turned 18 and he's had plenty of good games this season, scoring 5 goals in the process.

    Show me an 18 year old who isn't inconsistent.

    Mundle is right handful, he's going to be brilliant once he shakes the rust off and settles in. Great effort.

    He’s done enough to sty in the team already

    True but he's had too many when he has looked as if he couldn't be a**ed not just a bad game

    Midfield seems to be a lot more up for it than they were on Wednesday. Mundle and Clarke are causing them problems, Burstow is even making himself a nuisance. If it wasn't for Ruddy saving from Mundle I think it could've been game over

    I think the issue is more with your eyes than his work ethic. The idea that footballers "can't be arsed" is more often than not the absolute drivel that fans come out with. Same as when they question "bottle".
