[Headshrinker]

I can't stand the way referees give the defenders free kick for just throwing themselves to the ground when under pressure. It's like there is a rule that attackers are not allowed to compete with defenders.

 

[nickwr37]

And me. Email support but I don't expect an answer soon. I've never had bother before, just same glitches others have. Keep refreshing in hope......

 

[espoo blade]

OK, now the stream is up!

Unlucky.

 

[Jonno77]

BBC getting giddy with boro fans. Already got them as 2nd!

Yellow card my arse

 

[Bobby b]

I think up to now flecks attempted passes have been the right ones but the lack of match fitness is showing a little

 

[blade86]

Yellow card my arse

Is that Anel with a 2 game ban now?

 

[Bobby b]

I hate watching the match on the opposition teams stream, I'm constantly shouting "wtf are you talking about" and "stfu"

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Think that chorus of 'You're not fit to referee' on 28 minutes may be a new record. Richly deserved though.

 

[Flatcap]

Feel like Fleck is definitely adding something to the midfield which we've been lacking in recent games.

 

[Espania blade]

We're defending way to deep, nobody in midfield picking up clearances

 

[BangorBlade]

Heckys plan is to lead Watford into a false sense of security in the 1st half

Ft 2-0 UTB

[Bobby b]

It's a funny thing, because its nil nil I would say weve been ok nothing more, had it been nil 1 I would say we were shit

 

[jono_t2000]

Overall pretty happy with that.

Impressed with Fleck to be honest, looks like he wants to get on the ball and be part of it as much as possible which is good to see!

Berge also contributing decently as well.

Only concern is Anel and Lowe on yellows.

(Lowe has been probably the only slight letdown, with some two wasted wild shots, getting skinned on the halfway line and then getting booked on edge of area)

 

[robbiez666]

Scrappy first half. About equal. Neither team getting a foothold in midfield (not losing a midfield battle win). both attacks look dangerous going forward and defences a little iffy but lacking quality. Might come down to one moment. Anel and Lowe daft bookings again. I worry when they have the ball out wide as Bogle and Lowe are not winning those battles. Bogle taking too long on the ball again going forward. Berge got round the side and crossed at the defenders, as usual. Fleck looks unfit. Wanting it but lacks the mobility.

If there was a VAR, I think they'd have had a penalty. Lowe clearly shoved Davis. Two hands on him. Not exactly a lot of contact but you can't shove or grab shirts when players are going by you. Basics.

 

[Headshrinker]

They are playing quite well. Closing down well and comfortable on the ball. Might have to settle for a point in this one.

 

[BarcaBlade]

Bogle taking too long on the ball again going forward.

My fleeting thought about Bogle was that while he was better than we thought he was when he came into the team, recently, he's not been as good as he thinks he is.

But that's me mind-reading that he believes he can wander past defenders. Maybe just defenders are more alert to the danger he poses.

 

[shrubbery]

Berge completely missing for me again. Midfield getting overrun and we are second to everything. Ily misses another two good chances although one turns out to be offside. Open game but we need more control of the midfield and to stop hoofing it to McBurnie.
