* The Unofficial "Official" Steve and Mel - Boro v Derby Match day Thread *

[Cappachoochoo]

Jones is some player. Absolutely incredible- will be playing in Prem next year hopefully with us!

Jed who ????

Should the keeper have got something on that?

It was a good goal. First time shot, tons of people in the box. Good goal. Makes no differance anyway we are 3.1 up.

 

[etmfc]

3-1 get in Crooks

When did we last score 3 in the first half ?

 

[Huddboro]

Was Crooks a red? Sky said it wasn’t a great tackle…

 

[Anton_Berg]

Mister assist.

It could have been a red. That's how I'll describe it.

 

[Steer]

If big premier league side are after Spence, then how the hell are we going to keep hold of Jones? What a gem of a player.

Nice to see Connoly off the mark, and I hope we absolutley wipe the floor with this lot int he 2nd half.

 

[BoroMart]

Should the keeper have got something on that?

not really, came through a crowd, won't have seen it until very late

 

[WoodallServices]

The commentary I am listening to is Derby. They are adamant Crooks shouldn't even be on the pitch. Everytime he gets the ball, Matt Crooks, lucky man.

Neither should they!

....so no comments of "Lawrence, lucky man" then? Funny that.

Jones

I wouldn’t have been too surprised if it was - - he was late and went over the top but luckily he didn’t connect with that foot.

 

[Hap]

We could get a few goals here. They look really ragged in defence.

just need to keep all 11 players on the pitch.

 

[BoroMart]

Jones must be the best bargain basement buy since Sir Bernard of Slaven came south of the border.

If he carries on like this he could be better, he's only started 22 games and I think Bernie wasn't the star man until his second season. He's ahead of Bernie already, lot still to do to stay ahead for the bargain basement trophy though

 

[Tomato Soup]

This will disappoint a few, but even without the goal, Connolly has done ok.

 

[BoroMart]

yeah, could rather than should. But then you can say Lawrence's behaviour on Tav was a should not a could, because once you stick your head in someone elses face that's a red.

 

[Huddboro]

If we score 5 or 6 can imagine it’ll be tasty outside the ground…

 

[BoroMart]

This will disappoint a few, but even without the goal, Connolly has done ok.

agreed, he's scrapped, harassed, and bothered enough to make life harder for their defence with and without the ball

 

[BoroMart]

If we score 5 or 6 can imagine it’ll be tasty outside the ground…

I just want the three points, 'll take 3-1 right now

 

[futureboy]

This will disappoint a few, but even without the goal, Connolly has done ok.

He held the ball up really well a couple of times, even though he's second choice to win every header.

Balogun, on the other hand, hasn't been in the game at all. Completely anonymous, unfortunately.
