3 points. Boro haven’t been shocking and they certainly didn’t come here to scrape a 0-1 win. I’ll take that. Far from perfect but still enjoyable.

Other than getting turned around for their goal, which would have been tough on any defender, a great match for a 17 year old.

Sometimes we're allowed to praise the opposition and I think that was all the striker... Every goal you could stop the tape and say so and so should have done better ..

I only saw the last 25 minutes. Probably just as well, not sure my heart could have taken it. Great result and just as well with the top 2 both winning.

A slog that.

Both teams had chances until the sending off, we shaded it however imo even before that.

Boro look a very well coached and organised team, just a bit low on quality.

As for us we attacked well and created opportunities but defensively weren't great, felt Struijk in particular really struggled.

Gray offensively is brilliant at full back and Byram had another solid game.

Rutter with an off day, his shooting is genuinely awful and his radar creatively seemed a bit off.

James with another very decent performance and Summerville as well.

3 points against a tough side who've beaten 2 of the current top 4.

But 2 clean sheets in 10 is poor
