I’d rather have our fixtures than Millwall or Ipswich’s. Middlesbrough have a very kind run in of home fixtures but their away fixtures are a bit harder.
The best sides play the game they’re in and play the opposition. Lampard has been guilty of trying to play the same way at the wrong times during this bad run but we played Middlesbrough perfectly tonight.
Felt a fairly similar game to our loss at Ipswich in a way.
They passed it around very nicely, but created very little until they were 2-0 down. Can see that they’ve got some great players and I thought they played well tonight. I imagine they’ll finish in the mid 80s points wise.
Agreed. It’s a massive win and will hopefully do us the world of good but will mean very little if we get turned over by a poor West Brom side on Saturday. Need to win away again, get that monkey off our back and then hopefully pick up the points we need for the autos.
Brilliant first half performance, incredible intensity and desire.
Only complaint would be if only we’d played this even a couple of times over the last two months we’d probably be about 12 points clear of 3rd.
