If Boro run out of steam like they did in the first leg then this game should be there for the taking by Saints. Have to keep their heads though.

Prediction for second half.

Hinchcliffe will continue to be a closet Boro fan.

Think scienzas race may be run, with fellows coming on. If that happens mastuki cannot drift on the left as we'll need to double up on Whittaker and Brittain when defending

Great to get a goal before half time, Ayling is a prick and we need to get him sent off

He had enough goes at getting himself sent off but the ref wasn't interested...

We’ve been pretty poor again really. Proper feisty game wonder why Ayling lost his head after he committed a foul. Their manager is a proper cock as well.

It’s going to be a VERY difficult second half with Boro going out with as much shithousery as they can muster. Just hope the Ref has enough balls to recognise what they’re about. They’ve already half-knobbled Scienza.

On our side, we need Jander and Charles to be MUCH more mobile and Azaz to put in more of a shift - he’s a bit of a bystander and that’s been the same for him in every match against Boro for some reason.

Give it time. Could be another 90 minutes of football potentially with extra time and injury time.

We’ve seen from incidents like BBD at Newcastle and Haaland vs Gabriel; you have to go down like you’ve been shot or else you don’t get him sent off.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Players shouldn't do it. 

The game isn't to get a bloke wrongly sent off.

Yet again we concede by leaving the wide area completely open, again did we learn nothing from the first game…

Yep

Boro are much better than I thought they were.

However  the defending for their goal was ridiculously bad.

We need them to tire out in the same way they did on Saturday.

Agreed. Not sure they will though, not been quite as balls out relentless attack as on Saturday.

THB said something to him that clearly wound him right up - he then went to the ref and told him.

Big manning shaped hole out there. As good as he's been this season the old issues remain.

For their goal just look at Manning - two passes out - really, really bad indecisive defending. It’s Manning at his absolute worst. I know he’s also got his pluses, but if you fail to close down and defend your own box then you don’t deserve to start a game of football in my eyes.

Mrs JB's comment.

The other team are being really dirty and the referee is letting them get away with it.

Agreed.

Mrs J B knows what she's on about 👍

Why does this bloody commentator call Matsuki, MATSKI it does my bloody head in. 

Because that's a valid way of pronouncing his name?

In a scrap like this Azaz is again looking like a liability.   Tempting to bring Downes on and push Charles to the more advanced role.

Yep. I'd give him 10 mins and make an early change of he hasn't stepped up. 

I'm more concerned about getting Leo back out there.

Jesus first time I've had to watch sky championship presenters I assume it's some sort of make a wish experience this half time analysis.

Karen Carney would be tutting at the level of analysis here.

"he made an intentional pass"

Because that's the correct way to pronounce his name? In Japanese you often skip "u" sound in words.

Hard decision for Tonda, leave Azaz on and wait for Boro to tire, or bring him off and bolster the midfield. Let matsuki play centrally

Yeah, definitely agree with that. Don’t really get why considering they battered us 4-0. Must be the Baz factor.

I'm assuming he said something about the spying saga to try and get a reaction. It worked.
