* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leicester Match - Day Thread *

Strong finish, best chances for us.

They look a bit clumsy at the back. Looking good.

 

[Laughing]

I wish we’d put a bit of humph in some of these shots.

Crooks was on his weaker foot but it was a bit rubbish.

 

[FabioPorkpie]

Enjoying this.
Their defenders are better passers than they are defenders. We can definitely get something out of this. Good game

 

[joeydiaz]

Haway lads, let’s get behind Jones - have people not learnt anything from the interview he did.

 

[Chappy112]

They definitely looked more composed and in control, we've been a bit sloppy at times and a bit too rushed but we've had by far the better chances, really should be winning based on chances.

Just need to show a bit more composure when we get in the final 3rd.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Good half against a good team.

 

[Hap]

Great half of football. They’re a good side at this level, but it should be 1-1 for me

 

[motownjunk]

Belting game of football. 2 good sides. Even the ref having a great game looking forward to the 2nd half.

 

[Blindschool]

Sorry but Jones has reached his level and it's not Championship football.

Maybe you should give Carrick a ring and offer him the benefit of your wisdom and expertise.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Also Jonny Howson has been class.

 

[Yearbyred]

Ended the half well and probably should be ahead but a combination of poor shooting and good keeping kept it level.

They look a good team though, very quick to the ball and pressing us into mistakes. We need to pass it quicker.

Decent game so far.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Entertaining stuff. Think Leicester will nick it though.

Crooks really showed up as the cart horse he is.

 

[Scrug]

I’m at work and unable to watch/listen. Could anyone do me a massive favour and sum up how we’re doing in 10 words or less?

 

[Kepler442b]

What nonsense. He has had a poor game so far but he is a solid championship player or he wouldn't be getting a game.

He's been some fans favourite scape-goat since he went through that rough patch last season. Like anyone he has his good and bad games.

Even game, well organised defensively.

Both teams had half chances.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

How well has josh done, these are expensive, apparently good CBs he's against and he's on top.

He will be some player in a couple of years, he's very good now.

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

Sorry but Jones has reached his level and it's not Championship football.

Made a few errors, but also laid on the chance at the end for crooks - doubled up well with VDB against their dangerous winger. And got Winks booked with his pace.

Terrible back pass, but I still think he has helped more than he has hurt in this game.

Josh has been class.

We need to be going through him more.

 

[Hap]

Two outstanding saves in that half. One each.

 

[WoodallServices]

Good game matching them but you can tell the difference in quality when, especially their defenders have the ball at their feet. Fry having a great game, add to that Howson but how many guilt edged chances does Josh need.
