Middlesboro Post Match 0-0

[Corky]

I do see the complaints about the style away from home, but Sven saw us last year conceding far too regularly and needed to sort it out.

It's not pretty but it might be a good thing in the long run.

[Sk4]

Still unbeaten in the League away from home , a great defensive display , the forwards will start to chip in they will want to back up the defensive displays .

[ScouseFox]

Decent. Not great going forward it seems, but I'd rather draw 0-0 that lose 4-3 or 3-2 etc.

Solid.

Need to see what's what with the injuries to Beckford, Johnson, Wellens? before Saturday, where a win is necessary.

[Orkneyfox]

That's why there was a ? Twat!!

i am happy with a point

[crisp packet]

Good point

1st time 3 consecutive clean sheets since oct 2009

Roll on sat!

[21st Century Fox]

We've neutered a few form teams so far, I'd take a point tonight. Like someone else said we're continuing the unbeaten run and stopping a rival getting 3 points.

[Phube]

Why were you questioning then? Beat 2 of the form teams and drew against 2.......

Maybe for a discussion... on a football forum... maybe!!

[lcfcsnow]

2 games away against arguably two of the best sides in the league and no goals conceded...

Not at all can't see neither Boro or Cardiff getting automatic.

Sven hasn't bought enough attacking options, plain and simple. We have no winger to use on the counter away, you don't score you don't go up.

[acooling08]

Decent enough but 1 goal in 3 is a bit worrying.

[Callabinho]

Good point, It's a marathon not a sprint and so far we are conserving our energy well! Roll on the Rams!

[sdb]

Decent result, but nothing to shout about. Like it or not, our squad on paper is/should be so strong we win most games. Another clean sheet is really pleasing though...

[Number 6]

The arguement that we won't win all of our home games is countered by the fact that we will win some of our away games.

[Happy Fox]

The pressure is all on Saturday now, I would have preferred a win today, but beggars cannot be choosers, so we can beat those sheep shaggers

[samuel]

What a load of *****..... A point against Boro is a right result.......Numpties!!!

[CKB]

Positives: Clean sheet again

Negatives: No goal and Beckford injured

[Finchy]

We've played Brighton, Southampton, Boro and Cardiff. All in the top 6.

Won 2 at home, drawn 2 away. Brilliant results.

When you compare our fixture list to Derby's, we're only 6 points behind them and just about everyone they've played is in the bottom third of the table. Don't start thinking we're doing badly because we're not where they are. Ridiculously lucky start to the season for them in terms of fixtures, complete opposite for us.

[Legend_in_blue]

Once we have Beckford and Nugent as our front two, we will become unstoppable.

As things are, we are chipping away against these so-called top teams and they can't beat us.

This league is there for the taking.

[Grewks]

Look we have to be realistic, we had a poor start to the season but are now unbeaten in a while, just like many other teams we need that run of around 8 wins in 10 games, thatll sort the men out from the boys. Our fans need to be buzzing and up for it at away games, not 'oh we havent scored yet' after the first half. Us and West ham are the Man Utd of the championship. Everyone wants to beat us so we have to just carry on picking up the points here and there. You cannot target games and say oh we need 3 points at barnsley cos we might not get any at boro. This is the championship the most unpredictable league in the world, I would take a draw against derby (local derby but still same amount of points) as long as we won the next couple away.

[One Arm Babba]

Happy with a point at boro. draw away and win at home is the way forward. if we beat Derby thats 3 home wins and 3 away draws in our last 6.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Defence is sorted because they've now got a few games together under their belt. However, the strike partnership, don't think we've played the same forward line more than twice this season. Get Beckford and Nugent on together and familiar with each other - tasty!

Who's punching Sven on RL?

[CKB]

I was hoping the Nugent and Beckford partnership might start on Saturday but with Beckford injured now it may have to wait...

What is the latest on Beckford?

[Criggers]

I think the thing people forget is that it wasn't just some bollocks when everyone was saying we needed to "Gel". It really was going to take a few games to settle in. We had two poor results at home to Reading and Bristol but other than that we've come away OK from most games. Apart from those games the only other really disappointing result has been Barnsley away because we played so shite.

This unbeaten run will count for nothing if we don't beat Derby though.

Especially when the next game is two weeks after that. Away to what I expect will be a desperate to get going Brum.

I'm half expecting to see a 4-3-3 on Sat depending on what is happening with Beckford.

'A great point at one of the best teams in the league'

How the mighty have fallen when pre-season delusions of grandeur have been replaced with giant sighs of relief to have escaped from that great mighty Northern fortress known as 'The Riverside' with a point.

[21st Century Fox]

A Beckford/Nugent strike partnership has the potential to be the best in the league, lets not start pulling our hair out till our best possible line-up has had a chance to shine.
