That was bad luck, something out of nothing very nearly

Wasn't intentional, I'd hate to see a red for that. But not 100% clear on the rules. Could have kept his cards in his pocket for the James kick away

Static again for their second goal, it’s good for the neutral but it makes life difficult for us.

Hmm...

Some big chances for both sides but Latte Lath should have 4

We need to tell our defenders to mark that Latte Lath fellow.

Defensively it's been poor.

Boro have had plenty of chances and been able to find space very easily at times.

Fortunately offensively it's been the same for us.

Summerville and James done very well.

Offensively Archie Gray been brilliant.

Need to tighten up defensively though.

Struijk especially looking iffy

Southampton, Ipswich both winning but fairly easy games for them... Blackburn looking to become top 6 are losing at SW .. Sunderland need a result at Millwall are one down

Would love to see Rotherham beat Brum

Maybe, maybe not, but the ref gave a foul, which makes it a red. No VAR to contradict that.

Thought after the penalty we probably needed another to feel safe at 4-1 which is troubling when we are at home

The midfield too, especially in the first 20 mins. of the half.

How good is Archie Gray?

If ever a half of football demonstrated how he's being asked to play out of position, this was it, but he's been doing a fine job for us all season.

I shudder to think how good he's going to be in the next few years; I only hope it's for us.
