My random thoughts

Interesting again that for the second game on the trot, both sets of fans were singing about how they’d seen better displays of reffing in their time. And were Mansfield fans, who between 70 minutes and 90+7 clearly thought they were going home with the points, really booing their team at the end? Do they really expect to just turn up and win? The fact that they didn’t after five straight wins probably proves how well we did in keeping them quiet. They never really looked like scoring from open play, and the penalty was a travesty in terms of how well we’d been pushing them up to that point.

I always like Phillips and thought he was good again today, especially having to play on a knife-edge with his early yellow, but still did his job with courage. Sweeney did well and that slick little run forward gave us a lift and showed it is worth pushing forward and trying to create something, seemingly a rarity for Boro at the moment. Lubala isn’t a nightmare - he’s doing a reasonable ‘physical’ job in his role - but I don’t really know what he’s offering and much prefer Campbell.

I admit I thought we’d lost that and was overjoyed, like a win, when we scored. But I’d much rather our first halfs were as dominant and intentful as that second half. Leaving the goal til 90+7 isn’t a policy I recommend.

You just knew Akins would be their scorer. I think someone said so on here (Sev?). Peterborough now right behind us so we’ve got to get that attacking intent going for Tuesday, but I’m resigned to the belief that it’ll be more of the same.
