I criticised him initially, which some people thought was unfair, which is fine.
He has been solid this season and last night he was more than solid. Hard as a rock, important headers away, loves the physical battle.

Good team, keep the ball so well, technically very good.
They will be upset this evening and that's fair enough, but a decent set of fans and Carrick has been great for them.

In all seriousness, some of the Boro lads at work are confident, but also nervous because I think they are generally more expectant (for good reason).

I'm hoping Sheaf is our secret weapon that Robins is waiting for the right time to use.
I think Boro fans will be happier with that result. However, they probably don't realise the way they will play at home suits us more than how they were today (particularly second half).
Thought it was a good game with two decent sides playing contrasting styles. If we don't do it on Wednesday...
