What the fuck was going through Bellis's mind there?

I felt he looked knackered in the first half

How does their player not get a second yellow there?

Surely time to get some attacking flair on? #sulemana #edozie

Ooh... Inches from a Boro own goal

Has Downes actually touched the ball yet? Can't recall him doing anything of note yet

Boro on top. Defeat incoming I'm afraid

No, I'M better than Holgate

A wedge of Brie would be better than Holgate

For Holgate. What a pointless loan signing

Is that you Glasgow....?

If only I had some "told you so" medals left...

Whilst Holgate has looked better at RB than CB, it's all relative / pointless when he's inevitably going to make the basic errors that some of us were highlighting he was renowned for when he joined... I've still got the words of my Everton supporting brother ringing in my ears: "he's division 1 standard, if that, not championship"....

FFS... Why didn't someone shout at Holgate there that he was about to be dispossessed? And why wasn't Holgate more aware? That's precisely the type of Holgate mistake that Everton fans warned us about..

Bazunu gets away with a fumble there

Boro threatening again

Great position in the box which AA completely wastes

After a decent 10 minutes or so we've now regressed again. Need to get to half time without conceding

And then it crashes....

Another decent stream: https://watch.rainostream.net/soccer/stream9/?moment=182392023&match=Middlesbrough-vs-Southampton (Croatian commentary... much better than the usual English crap though )

More direct football & less faffing around results in a quality goal... Who'd have thought....

And, as if by magic.... Gooooaaaalllll!

Yep... Much more 'normal' football so far... RM must be reading this forum...

Yeah, I may have spoken too soon again!
