Ayling has been utter dog bob for Boro.

I so want Ayew to prove you all wrong. So do all of you, if you admit it...

Bobby is working harder than Mavididi.

Rowett needs to coach him to set up others, if his own end product stays as it is.

Oh Patson.

Well above expectations for most of that half, then a brain fart. We know that we have uneven games and we'll see pretty quickly in the second half if that was our good half.

Sigh. Days without a clean sheet = 0.

Great work Mukasa. What a signing.

Mav let his man go past him, there.

Claret, there. Hope Okoli is ok.

Sky with the unnecessary replays while play is ongoing.

Great ball in.

It's like Men against dung beetles.

Boro's press is amazing. They can't keep that up, surely?

There are no free hits when you are in the bottom three, so this aint a free hit. Hope Rowett has put a bit of fight into the team, but you wouldn't bet your baws on it. COYB

I spent the late afternoon with my Hibs supporting bro-in-law. He was slightly disappointed with the victory today

You can blame the defenders, with justification, but if the keepers won't come for stuff that is looping from high into the 6 yard box, or they palm saves into the feet of attackers, or get caught fannying about trying to play it out, you're going to have a bad time.

A relief that Mads has done OK as you really feared for him at the start if the season.

Come on West Ham. They've been much better today than earlier in the season. Deserve something from the game.

Offer them pizza or something.

We have goals in the team, but if we can't keep a clean sheet at some point, we'll get relegated.

After that first half, you'd have been glad of it. But we should have won it and not taking those chances at the end feels like a loss.

You lot don't want to hear this, but we look better since Luke Thomas came on. Possibly also since the coaching staff had a word in the same break.

We've had a shot!

How's he not scored?
