* The Original Unofficial "Official" Boro v Luton Match-Day Thread *

Cameron Archer reminds of Michael Owen. He likes to get the first touch with the outside of the boot to take him away from the defender and some of his finishes this season have been similar.

I thought that earlier when someone mentioned he’s gonna play for England.

I thought, “we don’t play strikers like that”, then thought back to the last I could think of was Owen, and he’s very similar.
 
Who was the co-commentator when we played Norwich and Hull? If it was an ex Boro player then fair play. Genuine question as I don’t know as was at the games.

When we played the mackems at the SOL they had a current Sunderland player co-commentating.

Was at the matches too, but the internet seems to think it was Lee Hendrie for Hull and Don Goodman for Norwich.
 
Bola looks a bit off it. Tbf, I thought Crooks looked a bit off the pace til that pass to Archer. Otherwise we've looked very good tonight. Feel like Howson could do a job literally any position on the pitch honestly. Looks pretty assured for a player filling in out of position at centre back.

Said before we got him (just saying) he - reminds - me in the way he finished & coolness in the area more of (no pressure) Robbie Fowler, just a natural striker..

Long way to go in his career yet tho he seems to have everything to make a really top career for himself..
 
Playing pretty well. Looked a game with not much riding on it (which it is), but we are zipping it around pretty well and the players are sharp. Expect Luton to be more aggressive second half (they seem to be happy sitting off us which gives us time to pass around them). All good so far. Great finish from Archer who looked like he could get in behind them all the time. Same again please.
