We just never seemed to stay focused for 90 mins.
I’m not going to pick anyone out as an escape goat, but someone whose name rhymes with Van Tweeny was a major influence on their first goal.
I think Revs should have made the subs straight after they scored. Phoenix was out of puff by then.
Basically this afternoon was like watching a Vauxhall conference match.

That's definitely 2 points dropped.

Don’t know if it is. Suppose it’s dependant on personal definitions.
We weren’t the better team by stretch of the imagination. We shouldn’t have let them back in at 2-1 but not as if we were head and shoulders the better side and they nicked something. For me that’s not dropped points it’s getting no more than our performance merited sadly.

Aye, but nobody expected anything from Stockport so looking bigger picture we would all have taken 4pts from Stockport away and Burton at home.
Not that that helps much in the immediacy and frustration of failing to win from 2-1 to at home today, but a season is 46 matches, not just today.
Conceding three in eight home games, including Bradford and Cardiff who have scored for fun, but then conceding twice to Burton today was more annoying than anything else, even the dropped points.

Feels like it.
I just don't get the substitutions. Why make a triple change with 2 minutes of injury time left... just why?
We had our chances, but so did they. Defensively just didn't tick today. Apparently we'd only considerd 3 league goals at home all season before today.

Those substitutions were very strange!
Although frustrating, I'd still prefer that than trying to grind out a 0-0.

Was the foul on Reid late on just outside the box a foul or did he take a dive?
Ref was giving him (and everyone else.to be fair) absolutely nothing from minute 1 so why he kept going over and throwing his arms up i dont know. Battle, give a bit back and stay on your feet.

Think it would have been given more often than not but haven’t seen it back. Ref let the game flow, would rather a ref who does that than a whistle happy clown any day.

He let a lot go both ways. Probably got bored of him going down easily and moaning at him.

Typical Boro, after the cracking win at Stockport come crashing down against Burton.
God I miss TVC.

I fear your memories of TVC are 100% blinkered.
His passing wasn't ever good.

And Sweeney could have easily got to the ball first but decided raising his arm was the better option. Fuck sake

I love Luther but wish our fullbacks could cross like that.
Well it's more enjoyable than a 0-0 anyway!

A few observations from the first live game ive attended this season
Saxon was my MOTM. Quality. Need to keep him fit.
We waste so much ball with long diagonals out to no-one from the CBs. Early on we played neat progressive triangles down the flanks 3-4 times, we need to trust Luther and whoever plays LB to be able to link up with the wide attackers and progress the ball up the pitch
Doherty looked a bit bullied, eased out of contention for high balls by bigger players but never hid, always showing for the ball, if he (maybe understandably) played it safe too often.
Pheonix looked short of confidence and rarely ran at his man with conviction, and if he isn't going to beat his man, there's little point him being there. Ran a lot though and can put a cross in.
Houghton does soo much organising and closing space of the ball. Him and Louis T are a class above.
