Sheffield Wednesday V Middlesbrough

[Liam_SWFC]

Live on Sky tonight, two teams in the top 6 and in good form. We're missing Forestieri which is a blow against these as in a tight game he can pull out a bit of magic, still we've got enough to give them a game. Think our inability to keep a clean sheet and Boro's solid defence will make this a tough night for us.

Adam Reach doesn't do tap ins does he - another decent strike from him tonight.

Shame Wednesday rather gifted the 2nd goal to Boro which might decide the game.

Just won £50 on Reach to score from outside the box, what a bloke. Pays for a few drinks at brentford tomorrow.

Masters of our own downfall last night again, two totally avoidable goals given away and when you're playing a side as defensively sold as Boro it's nearly an impossible task. First goal Thorniley can't let the ball bounce and has to head it up field, lack of experience perhaps, second goal Lees has to distribute it quicker, and the back pass is just not good enough as he knows, although movement off the ball was shocking last night.

Neither side created much, thought we had the slightly better chances first half but no complaints with the result, the goal line scramble at the end was a disgrace and the referee wants looking at for that. Boro are a typical Pulis side, they'll keep clean sheet after clean sheet and probably go up in the top 2 spots, we're still a bit wet behind the ears and learning as we go along. Hopefully we can bounce back with a result at Loftus Road on Tuesday night.
