That wasn't a game to bring Watson on which just highlights our lack of options right now..even Stretton wasn't ideal but thought he actually battled really well to remove his cloak of invisibility..

With Davies and Jags at the back we aren't going to concede many goals this season to teams who don't run in behind. They win almost everything in the air and physically they don't come much tougher than Ikpeazu.

If they stay fit we'll stay up this season.

 

 

The worrying thing is, if Mel doesn't hurry up and sort this mess out, come January a relegation rival could get on the phone to Jagielka (and Baldock) and nab them off us quite comfortably, You'd assume most could afford to offer either of them over 4.5k a week, especially if it will weaken us for the 2nd half of the season.

Credit to the boys and the gaffer again today. Not the result we wanted but we fought for everything and with an ounce of luck might have nicked all 3 points.

Jags and Curtis strong again today, Shinnie finding some form too. Morrison fouled every 5 seconds but remained calm. More positive than not.

Who's next?

Controlled the first half with the game going more into Boro's the second. Was very physical as Rooney expected and a draw against a fairly good Boro side isn't to be sniffed at. 

Sibley struggled a little today. Talent is there but they nullified his driving runs well. He did draw the best save of the match though and he will be in the goals this year if Rooney keeps playing him. Bird was quality again, recycling the ball and linking well between defense and attack. He's going to be an asset. 

That was Shinnies type of game. Physical. Lots of tackling. Lots of tracking back. Played well.

Morrison a class above at this level. Vision, touch, tackling, passing, positioning. All fantastic. Makes it all look so easy. Keep it up!! 

Obviously Jags and Davies played well, and Roos marshalled it well behind them with some big saves, good footwork and decent punches. Seems to be more confident this year than last.

Joz's ball carrying ability is some of the best in this league. Just needs that finishing touch in front of goal. Confidence to strike it and we've got a huge threat.

Not a classic match but I'll take a draw, plus forest lost so what's not to like.
