I have now missed both the ‘against’ early goals, but at least for this one was able to say to the regulars heckling us this time, “well it worked out last time didn’t it?”… and lo…!
We should not forget that Archie isn’t a right back, he is a very gifted young midfielder and the sooner we can have him back in the middle, the better. I agree with the report Dave, the thing I’d add is that either Boro had sussed a weakness or our CHalfs were having a bad one, because they got repeatedly pulled upfield and out of position, following “their man”. Leaving big holes in the back row. Yeah headed goals from the two shortest guys on the pitch - their defenders need a word with themselves, twice in 5 minutes. Our front 4 are pretty much unplayable for the defenders at this level, and relentless with it. Their #9 was good too. I was glad to see Piroe step up for the penalty.
