    His distribution is not great to say the least. Really think he needs to just keep it simple play it back to the defenders or kick it long. When he tries the diagonal to the winger it invariably just goes out. Problem is about once a game he gets one right and it just encourages him.

    It's absolutely bizarre.

    We win a game at Boro, complete the double over them, score a top class goal and keep up a genuine promotion push ...

    ... yet some people want to concentrate on how great Boro were in the first twenty minutes, how many goals they should've scored, etc.

    We keep breaking these hoodoos don't we, but for some it's never enough.

    Last night we came back from losing, recovered from a poor equaliser, fought to go ahead and managed the game in the last period.

    All in one match :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Is there any video of just Le Fee from last night?

    Could watch just his first touches over and over, Ayling must have woke up in the night screaming after the night he had! There was one point he just out his hand up in a wtf is going on gesture. Class!

    I've got one on Facebook that the club posted with just his touches on a reel. I'll see if I can post it on here when I'm on my laptop at work.

    SKP was an excellent player for us , desperately wants to manage the club BUT good players aren’t always good pundits or Managers which he is proving on his downward spiral down the league pyramid - enough said . A while ago I said on the forum that I wish he would just keep his mouth shut concerning anything about SAFC .

    I appreciate they should avoid showing us any undue bias or praise us unnecessarily ...

    ... but it goes beyond that and I don't think thinks about what he's saying too much.

    I think he just has a chip on his shoulder and it comes out in what he says.

    The opposition have absolutely no idea what he's going to do next, which is great ...

    ... once our own players work it out we'll absolutely destroy teams <laugh>

    Just rewatching the ELF reel again and saw something on his last pass that I didn't see live last night. Have you seen the last one on the reel where ELF plays the ball down the line for Samed with the outside of his foot and the two Boro players are chasing after him.
    Not sure if they oollide or one of them just loses his footing but a sniper has clean took him out. Keystone Cops stuff. PMSL here man FFS...

    I was talking to a Boro fan today, one who was there last night. He says Ayling is getting a load of stick, which he thinks is a bit unfair.

    For the winner last night, his positioning was pretty good really. A normal player wouldn't even think of doing what Le Fee did, so to get done like that is not as bad as it looks. Better than Ayling would have been left.

    Same lad had no complaints about the result by the way. Says it is typical for Boro to not make the best of a good period, which they did have early on and said we looked a notch above after about twenty five minutes or so. My reading of it too.

    True enough. Ayling didn't know whether he needed a ****, shave or shampoo mind...

    Aye. Led to the Poveda miss I think? But some of what Le Fee was doing was night looked borederline unfair. I'd never even heard of the lad before he came here!
