    They hoped to nick a goal and haunt us for 80 mins pretending to be injured etc.
    Now they have nowhere to hide and need to come at us.

    That's why I don't think they will get anywhere near us. They have played one way all season, and in fairness it has worked more often than not, but they are not getting the chance to play their game, pretty much the same as us against 'Town' in the 1 & 1/2 of the play off games

    Jerome doesn't look comfortable.

    Boro a different side since half time. I don't think we're pressurising them like the first half either.

    Spot on, never a penalty. Shocking dive.

    This is almost attack versus defence now, not doing my nerves any good! We need to step it up to our first half form again.

    We're on the back foot a bit though. Uncomfortable feelings unless we can get control again.

    We're sitting back way too much, what's happened to the pressing game they imposed first half?

    Agreed Thai, we're inviting pressure onto a defence we know can have it's wobbles. Need some sort of threat to stop them piling bodies forwards.

    Grabban on for Jerome, Dorrans for Hoolahan. Both players coming on have the greater defensive workrate.

    Looks like the tide may be slowly turning back for us now. My confidence will slowly grow with every passing minute (or a 3rd goal)

    Ffs, Norwich spoiled this game by being too good in the 1st half.

    Not that I'm complaint - like :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Ayala had a massive chance there.

    We are now doing to Boro, what they did to us at CR a few weeks ago (without the gamesmanship). As long as it pays off, I'll take it.

    O'Neill on for Redmond. Completely shutting up shop.
