Middlesbrough v Charlton Athletic Match Thread

Whitehead is booked for a foul on Kermorgant in the centre circle.

 

RED CARD for Charlton

Wiggins sent off for a bad tackle after losing possession.

 

looks bad! we're supposed to be picking up the majority of our points away from home

 

Jutkiewicz gets a shot in but Thuram saves at his near-post.

 

Our goal difference worth a point and it's way better than all the other strugglers barring Wednesday ...positive

 

Carayol off, Kamara on for Boro.

 

Thuram clears away from the onrushing Smallwood.

 

5 minutes' added time.

Green skies a cross so much that it clears the roof.

 

Kermorgant plays the ball in and Church hits the shot but it goes wide. However, the ref brings it back for a free-kick to Charlton on the edge of the area...

 

...from which the ball is pulled back to Wilson, but he shoots just wide.

 

Thuram makes a great save from Kamara before Jutkiewicz puts it just wide.

 

Wood shoots straight at Given with some power, and he does well to hang on to it.

Full time 1-0

So a disappointing afternoon all in all which, coupled with other results, leaves our situation looking a bit precarious.

Looking forward to hearing from those who were there...if anyone was.

 

Cheers, Mike, nice to end the afternoon on a high

 

I could only listen to the second half (power cut) but we were the better team in it.

Kermorgant back to his best. Harriott doing some great defensive work. If he can keep that up he will be worth a place. Jury still out on the two loan signings. Cousins overdue for a rest but who do we have to fill in if Hughes is not fit? I have never believed we would be relegated, but the other results today together with our strange team selection has got me worried now.

 

Wiggins suspended for 3 games. Great.

 

... and that. Our main creator of chances.

 

Play Jacko at LB.... never too sure on Evina's defensive capabilities whereas Jacko has a clever football brain and it will allow Harriot to concentrate on attacking

 

How did Ajdarevic look when he came on...?

 

As the first match is against Oxford United in the cup why dont we put Morgan Fox out there... Maybe Powell could learn something from that and it could give him a selection headache for the second FA Cup match (if we get through) and league match (or matches depending on the Oxford result) as we all know what Cedric Evina can do

After all Fox has been playing at League One level for the past month whereas Oxford are of course League Two so wouldnt be out of his depth

 

Made me laugh
