He's had a cracking game.

 

[McBrid]

Man of the match by a mile

 

[dribble]

Not been tested, we are so slow

 

[Boro_Legend]

Top pro.

 

[Nero]

I now hate him!

 

[atypical_boro]

Typical of him turning in a Paolo Maldini performance when they really needed him to.

 

[Redwurzel]

He played fine, but was not put under much pressure particularly enough players running at him at speed.

Didn’t he miss 80% of last season injured, the right decision was made offering only a one year deal, well done to him getting a 2+1 offered.

I'm pretty sure he was man of the match in his last game for us against Sheffield Wednesday.

I wish he'd stayed, but I don't blame the club for not offering him a long term deal with his injury struggles.
He's already been injured twice for Birmingham this season.

Tav was just the player he needed to defend. Djiksteel wasn't getting up behind Tav to support him either. Second half, Spense didn't even attempt to get past him.

I think Spence for Dijksteel might of been a better sub to use. Spence always seems better driving from deep and I think Dijksteel seems to struggle against Bela anyway

I like the way Spense has the pace to get between defender and ball if he's up against a decent winger.

Which players actually suffered from covid-19 as something was amiss today with a lot of players?

 

[McBrid]

I only know for sure Watmore had it and was rumour McNair too. Not sure who else

Those are the two I heard. Britt was mentioned as another a few minutes ago

Warnock said 6 cases, 2 of which were displaying symptoms.

So I would guess Assombalonga and Watmore were the two symptomatic ones.

But then some of the other 4 may have started suffering symptoms whilst isolating, I don't know.

 

[Borotommo]

Assombalonga has had Covid since he joined us, on top of yellow fever.

He had a great game, thought he was finished at this level but today certainly proved me wrong. Still think it was the right time for him to go as it’s given Bola the game time he clearly needed, and I can see him being our first choice lb for years to come.

Compared to the game in December it looks like Karanka has turned them around, they would be crazy to get rid. Given time he will get them promoted

 

[McBrid]

Would say it’s highly unlikely he will get them promoted
