    Your flexible attitude to life is duly noted and appreciated...

    Seems to fit in perfectly with some of the connotations and beliefs practiced on this very forum.

    My take, not much beef with them but:

    3 for Ayling too harsh, Clarke wasn’t good but wasn’t a 3 either in my view.

    Casilla not a 7 for me either. He had very little to do and looked comfortable most of the time, but made a right hash of a corner they should have scored from and gave 2 absolute hospital passes in the first half.

    Just seen KP's goal from the corner kick, how the **** that ugly, lanky. dirty bastard, Ayala stays on the pitch every week is beyond me, the **** must thinks he's playing American football, all the Championship clubs should write to the EFL to investigate the cheating bastard

    Thanks for that 1964.

    Wasn't it Phillips that lost possession in a crucial midfield area which led to the Boro goal ?

    Agree he had a good game but it seems that whoever plays that holding midfield role will be under the most pressure when we are playing out from the back. It's therefore absolutely vital that they link the play as other players tend to move forwards in anticipation of us launching an attack, meaning any turnover of possession leaves us too exposed...in short the key position.

    Much better quality than the illegal jobs. Wasn't joking about being delighted to pay the club £5 for it. Would have used it for away games for years, had it been available.

    There is a downside, though. The lack of synching was a one-off, hopefully. Can't say I was overwhelmed by the commentary. Not impressed by the lack of angles for replays. All they do is repeat the same sequence again, so you have no specialised views like goal-line, behind the goal view, offside view etc. Won't stop me though! :)

    Pretty sure if sufficient numbers were using the service then those camera angles would improve over time. It's probably too much to expect the same quality and number of camera operators as Sky/BT have at this stage.

    Main thing is it worked and enabled you to watch a quality stream provided by the club and you contributed accordingly.

    This is very much the future and I look forward to discussing both with you and others how we should all be financially supporting our clubs rather than viewing illegal content from the internet for free as though it's the right and proper thing to do.

    As long as they beat Derby and win their last 4 matches they will be great and definitely heading in the right direction

    11 clubs have now written to the EFL demanding a Leeds United 57 point deduction. This is due to the club cheating when they staged a fake illness in the dugout that disrupted the match, consequently breaking the concentration of the Middlesbrough players sufficiently for Leeds to equalise.

    Derby Manager, Frank Pampard has suggested that the match is replayed with 'Boro starting 5-0 up.

    Yeh it’s a pivotal role. But with playing out from the back, any of the back 4, keeper, and dm are at risk of that in our style of play... as has been evidenced as they've Taken it in turns in recent weeks.

    However, to lose possession you first have to have it... and I don’t think Philips really did... he cut out a pass and then lost the ensuing 50:50 with Mikel. Harsh to blame him.

    Cooper was the one responsible for todays obvious defensive error but got away with it.

    Casilla gave a couple of hospital passes and misjudged a corner in his 6 yard box... which we’ll get a breakdown of from LL tomorrow. They were today’s main defensive lapses that I saw.

    Ayling had a awful game, lost his form. Shame as I like him as a player

    Clarke offered nothing apart from losing possession, unsurprising as he was feeling unwell today.

    Casilla made a good save & looks very cool on the ball imo!

    Agree with Milky, a bit harsh to blame Phillips

    We look much better with Kalvin playing that role, one of the first names on the team sheet for me

    I like Ayling, agree he’s been badly out of form but he’s the new whipping boy now bpf has gone, alioski is everybody’s favourite full back and Forshaw not playing! He wasn’t great, but he wasn’t awful today. Clarke got no service in the first half, but did give the ball away a bit granted. Not alone in that.

    I quite like the look of Casilla, but he’s made at least 1 Fck up per game so far. I wouldn’t emphasise them generally but it seems that no opportunity was missed to point out flaws in bpf’s game so i’m Mentioning them as I find the inconsistency and lack of objectivity among some fans something of a bugbear!
