Matchday Thread PNE v Middlesbrough -14-02-24 - KO:7.45PM - Championship

3 points… taking 2 strikers of for 2 strikers to carry on trying to hit boro on counter who commit players foward even when your winning but people still have an agenda against Lowe. Laughable really. No anti football here just anti Lowe people. Championship football ain’t pretty 80% (or there abouts) of the time.

The result is everything.
The performance was back to normal ... no obvious plan, poor passing and possession ... defending very deep with at least 8 behind the ball ... only difference we got two goals from about four shots. The overall game stats suggest we should have taken a hammering but he ho who cares the result was good, no appearance money for Woodburn and chance for badges to tell us it was all down to him. Bring on the plastics ....

I don’t think we were as deep as we have been in the past.

Games like Norwich we literally let them walk up to the final third without being challenged. At least Lowe kept two up top and we were still pressing high up the pitch right to the end.

Why can’t you just enjoy the win for goodness sake.
 
Ballsy making a triple sub but got that spot on. We were dropping further and further back and our strikers weren’t moving. Two up front brought fresh legs and put us a step further forward even if both were poor when they came on

Contender for the most inept ref award too

Shocking game of footy. Boro are a shadow of last year

Greg Cunningham is like a classic Bentley you can just bring out for special occasions and oozes class.

And intermittently leaks oil and needs putting in the shed for repairs
 
Can't work out Woodman's goal kicks.

He's clearly told to hit the byline, but I can't work out if we intend to win the header, or if we want the opposition to have a thrown-in so we can try and win the ball back on the halfway line. Either way, it makes an ugly watch.
 
Well that wasn’t pretty and we had to dig in but fair play they found a way. Every credit to Brady tonight, he’s had his fair share of flak but thought he had a very good game. Expecting a patched up defence against the plastics but they are nothing special. Keep it going, we’ve got a bit of momentum building. Lastly, a fitting tribute to Sir Tom from the whole ground.
