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