    Glad I gave up after 10 minutes of that dirge. Millwall getting 3rd and nearly automatics (and having all those injuries earlier in the season) shows up that this league is not as strong as some people seem to believe. 
    Which means we were poor and that's why we need good recruitment for next season unless of course more teams get points deductions. 

    I know he's having his best season what with 17 goals (which when I read that I couldn't believe) but when I saw that Olly McBurnie was the main part of their strike force I knew they would struggle to score. 
    Someone needs to clear this up for me:

    If Millwall churning out a 0-0 dirge draw means that the league is not strong then by that logic it means that playing fast attacking football should be successful.
    Yet, it is constantly argued on here that we play a dirge because it’s the best way to get points, and that by opening ourselves up by attacking would mean worse results. This argument is that teams  playing exciting football has no correlation to success or a strong league. 

    So why now the argument that Millwall’s dirge means that they are not a good team? We can’t laud Burnley’s clean sheets last season only to mock it when Millwall do it.
    Their dirge is just simply better than our dirge. we need to dirge it up more in a league renowned for top quality dirge. Burnley level of dirge.

    Boro top for in the league for shots and touches in the oppo box - but bottom for conversion!

    Boro want the perfect goal, they just want to pass it into the net

    Saints have barely got out of their half in the first 30 mins - not a single touch in the Boro box

    Hull should really be 2 up by now.  They really need a cushion to go into the second leg with.

    How many times do players slip now;
    Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

    Millwall did a job and got a positive result even though a hard watch.

    Spygate could mean Saints are sinners ?

    Am I reading this wrong or is this turning quite similar to our game up there?  Saints being very cautious about keeping a strong back line, boro once again unable to make anything stick.

    They surely can't go too much longer without scoring.

    Boro on a big Wembley pitch would be a right pain in the arse to play I reckon.

    Crowd would fall asleep whilst they keep 90%+ possession.

    I'm not watching but the stats so far are insane. Have the Saints got out of their half yet?

    Boro with a decent striker would have gone up automatically, they are suckers for a team to low block them, and get done 1-0

    1st half completely dominated by Middlesbrough but they just couldn't convert anything. 
    I reckon Southampton will punish them for that 2nd half.

    Portsmouth and Cafc mugged Middlesbrough with 1-0 wins with a low block and the Sinners have decided to play in a similar way.
    It's the polar opposite way they played at the Valley when they battered Charlton.

    NJ appears to be in charge of Saints today. Boro's finishing crap once again...

    As one sided a match you could see - but do Middlesbrough know how to win?

    They’re a more frustrating team to watch than we are some how. 

    Would give anything to be in their position with their players but Jesus this is a dire watch because of the finishing (or lack of)

    Boro should have clinched 2nd place this season but they are so wasteful in front of goal...

    They should prescribe a  video of this game on the NHS as a sedative...😉
