Need to get Firpo taking the set pieces cos he can't do any worse than the rest.

Sky commentators keep referring to the terrible challenge for the pen but don’t bother referring to Rutters run which was the cause of it.

Where did Clarke get the idea that a shaved head and a beard is a good look.

It looks like his head is on upside down.

He's taken 2 FK's this season I can recall, put them both into danger areas. Best passer at the club

You're right, but our defence is just 5yds too deep, 10 even, we played the perfect game for us when Ipswich came at us (and Leicester) but we went toe to toe, and some.

By pushing them into their final third, and pinning them there, winning it back high.

Agree with this. Think we could achieve this by taking Byram off and adding Kamara. Byram’s been a bit of a passenger so far.

There was no bad tackle for the pen, Rutter superbly bought that, watch how he dangles his leg intentionally into the Boro defender as soon as he enters the box.

Very clever, and made the defender look v clumsy.
