    A few have played their way into the reckoning for Boro.

    Macca cock up aside, much much better from Saints.

    I agree that I would start most of these players against Boro. Obvs Charles needs to come back in, but not sure anyone else warrants a recall.

    Still think he's better all round. That second save is one Baz has often struggled with in the past.

    I did call this yesterday too, was inevitable.

    That was a bad miss. But he has looked good imo

    Hopefully they bring in a rule allowing you to have two keepers in goal.

    You’d like to think so. Can’t see how wood especially can be left out. Jalert looks so much better at RB as well.

    If we tried, knowing our luck, we'd end up with the opposite.

    Regardless of mistake, we were excellent that half. Some people really putting themselves in contention to start on the weekend. I’d be perfectly happy to replicate this defence, but Jelert and Wood for sure. Quarshie hasn’t looked as clumsy, and Downes has brought the aggression.

    When does **** like this ever happen for us? I can't remember the last time we were gifted a goal

    I keep saying it. You have to have a physical CB. Both Wood and Quarshie are physical beasts (and win their headers!), and Edwards has looked good on the ball.

    Tbh, I wish we never passed it back to Macca so much.

    There were other times we had options to get it forward and after 12 passes back to Macca who hoofs it and we lose possession

    Rather him hoof it than arse about in our area but Rather not pass it back to him when we don't need to.

    Playing well, helps we’re underdogs and Still has had a career of setting teams up in that situation.

    Hopefully can keep it up and make a game of it second half

    Supporting Saints is frustrating enough (most of the time) but that is beyond frustrating. What a ****ing knob!

    ironically this is the first game of the season where we can clearly see Still’s plan (and it was working) and McCarthy goes and chucks it in the toilet!!

    I don't think he's done too much wrong this season to warrant it, to be honest.

    THB definitely needs coming out the team for a period, and the 3 tonight are all certainly making a good case to come in so far.

    I don’t think he has either. I just don’t think he is all that good or a better captain than Armstrong.
