Inoussa looks sharp

 

[magicdaps10]

This really is like a Williams performance

Actually quite the opposite of it.

You talk a lot of egg fried rice.

You still got time to delete this

Inoussa looks sharp

Looks a player but not had the ball in the right area since he has come on.


It's been far too easy for Boro since they scored. Lacking creativity.

 

[bakajack]

I see the right second rule is being well enforced
Their keeper claims and falls on it and holds it for over twelve seconds before releasing it

Cooper

100% Cooper football.

 

[monmouth]

Second half has been pretty bad. Still time to nick a goal, but it really hasn’t been good. Can’t be dressed up any other way.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Actually quite the opposite of it.

I was about to say the same thing.

We'd have conceded two or three times in open play as well as the set piece if Willy was still there.

I'm not trying to put a sheen on this mind - it's still been crap. Unfortunately I think Eteb is on to something with the Cooper comparison...

 

[eteb]

Christ this is dreadful

 

[bakajack]

Twice in fact
So much for giving a corner of the keeper holds it over eight seconds

 

[Bluenile]

A throw in near their penalty area thrown backwards then passed further back, with 4 minutes left. Does my fecking swede in!

 

[eteb]

Out of interest, what is Fulton actually decent at?

Can't attack, can't defend, can't tackle, can't run, can't pass..

All we need is Andre back and should be a successful campaign

Didn’t Cooper get us to the playoffs, twice.
