Boro lost in a smog

 

Blues triumphed yet again against a form team, this time in the shape of a Middlesbrough side who just couldn’t seem to work out Lee Bowyer’s tactics.

With Tahith Chong missing, it was time to give the increasingly impressive Riley McGree a whirl. He turned in an inventive man of the match performance whilst Gary Gardner and Ivan Sunjic stoked the engine room. This is  not to overlook another excellent performance by Jordan Graham, who looked the natural wing back that he isn’t. 

Blues yet again played three at the back and maybe they’ve found the key to a good defence, harnessing he agricultural power of Marc Roberts, the pace and finesse of Dion Sandersen and the guile of George Friend. Behind them Mitija Sarkic put in another peerless performance, ensuring that the equally talented Neil Etheridge still has to wait his chance.  The goals came from a Roberts power header and a superb finish by Scott Hogan made sure of the points – let’s hope that this is the start of one of his scoring sprees.

In praising the latter it would be churlish not to mention his provider, Troy Deeney, who led the line in a way that we all hoped he would. Onward and upward – let’s hope so but remember that it’s the Blues that we’re talking about!
