Nowt wrong with the occasional ball over the top. I'm a big advocate of changing things up every now and then - we can be too predictable at times so I like to see a first time cross, or a ball over the top just to mix things up.

When we have someone with Wilson's pace,playing right on the shoulder,a ball over the top is a great option for us to have.

A clinical side and we would have lost that game in the first 25 I think but after that we were clearly the better side

That's the point tho...where are these clinical sides in the championship?
Not our fault that various teams having started well against us end up losing ie Luton & Boro spring to mind. All teams ride their luck a bit but clinical finishers aren't plying their trade in our league, I'd be more worried about starting like this in the premiership but thats for another day.

What do we all think re Boro's 2nd goal? At first I was blaming o9 for a hospital pass to Jobe, but on 2nd look Jobe maybe should have just knocked it back to him, rather than try and hold the player off and turn?

Jobe was far too casual and unaware of what was happening around him.

Nothing heinous, just an error/lapse in concentration which happens to absolutely everyone including in the premier league.

Rio Ferdinand used to commit four errors like that before breakfast.

O’Nien is a whipping boy! It wasn’t a great pass, but it had enough for Jobe to not be beaten to the ball. All he had to do was run towards it and, as was said, knock it back to Luke.

Yeah it had enough on it to get to Jobe, Jobe just needed to step forwards instead of backwards and the boro player wouldn't have had a sniff.

Not one I'm going to get too bothered by especially given the result.

Great. What was it looking like after the first 20

They dominated us for the first 25 mins and should have been 3 up
RLB changed things, we were comfortable for the rest of the game and should have won by more

Dunno why people are getting so het up about the fact Boro started better - doesn't matter when you read the score at full time.
