Can you settle an argument I'm having?

Did Gelhardt goal take a deflection off the defender?

He did really well. From my angle in East Stand I thought it must have been deflected or beat the keeper at front post as Gelhardt appeared to be wider.
 
Gelhardt will easily get 10+ imo. He shoots so much he’s bound to score a load. Selfishly almost want him to not do as well because otherwise he’ll cost a fortune next summer!

We’ll probably be getting closer to £25m for Hughes though if he carries on…

We talked about this the other week but what am I missing? Don't get me wrong I love Hughes, he's a classy defender with obvious potential and should go for a lot one day. But right now we're conceding a lot of goals from crosses and whilst the Coventry game was a big defensive effort I haven't really seen that sort of play in the last two from any of the defenders. I'm not sure I see the idea that his value is going through the roof with every game, or that our defence was particularly good yesterday on the whole.

He created a lot of chances for us with his drive forward but I agree he's still defensively shakey.
 
Was Ivor a bit slack for their second goal or am I being overly critical? He was looking through a load of bodies, so maybe completely unsighted until the last second?

His save against Phillips was a worldie.
Yes to both.....looking at the replays, he's unsighted but still gets both hands to their second, the save in the second half tho....absolutely top top class, i'm in S2 directly behind the shot, looked in all the way till he got his fingertips to it, very much redeemed himself

Did you watch the Coventry game PLT? I really fear you’ve got this subconscious bias that Hughes is still shaky defensively, everytime Rudoni entered our penalty box his efforts were blocked by Hughes. Yesterday, Hughes won 100% of his aerial duels. We conceded 1 goal from a lucky flick that fell straight to their striker with a good finish and the other was because neither Palmer or Gelhardt were switched on enough to close down Brannagan.

Hughes has been phenomenal in the 2 league games
 
Asking for a friend- did Kamara back heel the ball for the winner or did the one two with Giles come off the defender and miss Kamara completely - I think he missed it
 
it did come off the defenders leg but you have to force them into those type of errors

it is a bit sad the love of some on twitter to exclaim how kamara didnt touch it, theyd genuinely prefer him to miss a penalty than score it i reckon
its weird, are all fanbases like this?
I can't think of another that would so gleefully hope a former player and manager failed but here we are.

yea, one boro fan said that jones had a good game at the weekend
and there were so many comments from city fans
calling jones ****, we have so much better

its genuinely pathetic and i cant understand it
for a player who gave nothing but 100% in 200 games for us
