My View/Opinion

" TONIGHT BORO WERE A DIFFERENT CLASS THAN CARDIFF "

City tonight we're second best through out the game and did not look like the same side that thrashed Brighton last Saturday.

We also made to many mistakes.

In the first half for 5 solid minutes the 120-140 City fans sang Russell's Slades Barmy Army at Boro

City could of lost by a far bigger margin.

MIDDLESBOROUGH 3 CARDIFF CITY 1

Marshall; Fabio, Connolly, Manga, Malone; Lawrence, O'Keefe, Ralls, Whittingham; Immers, Pilkington

Subs: Moore, Peltier, Dikgacoi, Gunnarsson, Zohore, Ameobi, Saadi


Crowd 24,322
Away Support Approx 140 City fans incl 50 comps.


Once again the long journey to the North of England,our furthest away game and yet again the Football League put the fixture on a Tuesday night,totally unfair to the City diehards.

City went in this game on a high after a run of 6 games undefeated, while Boro had lost their way and were on a run of poor results.

Boro attacked from the first minute and should of scored with in the first 10mins but thankfully their shots were not on target.

City's first shot on goal was a wonder goal by Fabio in the 20th min, could even be goal of the season 0-1 City
Fabio's goal was worth the long journey

But Boro went straight on the attack and shot after shot led to an own goal by Connolly 1-1

Boro continued to attack City.

Connolly continued to have a nightmare of a game by passing back and thankfully Boro shot wide.



Half-time Boro 1 City 1

Boro continued attacking.

Scott Malone on the break kicked it in to Immers who had a great header saved by the the Boro keeper in the 47th min.

Boro went straingt back on the attack and it was their finishing that thankfully let them down.

Boro's attacks continued and City's defence caved in with Manga also having a night mare of a game was at fault for Boro's 2nd goal 2-1 Boro in the 63rd minute


72nd minute Whittingham was replaced by Sammy Ameobi

80th minute David Marshall saved a penalty

82nd minute O'Keefe was replaced by Gunnarson

83rd minute a mistake by Lawrence gifted Boro a 3rd goal by Boro striker Nugent 3-1

My Man of the match Lex Immers

It was always going to be difficult wasn't expecting much out of this lets move on to a very winnable home game against Preston.

2mins late Hmmmmm Safe Journey Home ( Fabio's goal was a spectacular )

Annis all I heard on radio Wales was our mistakes and Adoma for boro he must been only player on pitch mentioned so many times!

Actually said we weren't far off tonight on radio but that mistakes cost us. Didn't expect much despite boros recent form which was always going to end. Forget about it and go again Saturday which will be a tough game as they can go above us with a win. Safe trip home

Fabio at fault for Boro 2nd goal shocking defensive header

Far too many mistakes from Manga and Connolly. Boro could and should have scored 6 or 7.

Long journey back now.

Immers MOTM for sure. Pilkington worked hard again but not a striker.

What a goal by Fabio, gave us a bit of hope for a couple of minutes

See you all on Saturday against Preston

Personally I thought we would get something from the game

The championship is a funny old league isn't it. Bristol City fans are saying we're the best footballing side they've seen at Ashton gate this season yet we played like relegation fodder against you.

Anyone can beat anyone in this league.
