Top 4 fixtures today and tomorrow

[AmexRuislip]

Not dissimilar to our game, as I said. We didn't lack possession, but we couldn't do anything constructive with it. Boro's defence is very, very organised. They simply don't look like conceding any goals. They're not a thrilling side to watch by any means, but their solidity & a couple of top class players will mean they can top most sides in this league.

True, but as you said Albion lacking constructive ideas, even without our thrill players we should still have tried to create something.
It was like this at the QPR game recently, 2-0 up, Austin scores, then we sort of went in to shells,
Obviously did not help having LD sent off.
Roll on KLL returning

Ayala is a superb defender. Weathered the pressure well towards the end but again Boro scored early, leaves the opposition having to push to get back into the game

Middlesbrough v Derby on Jan 2 will be interesting...
