*~*~* Middlesbrough v Sunderland match thread *~*~*


Ba probably wasn’t sure if he had time to wind his foot back for a harder shot and instead just tried to direct it in. 9 times out of 10 a directed shot still goes in but the defender got a bit fortunate. Not great but people going way over the top here, saying he missed an open goal etc.
How else would you describe it?
 
Securing a play off place will come down to fine margins. We simply can't afford to keep persevering with front players who aren't clinical when presented with simple chances.
If Rusyn had either of Ba's sitters he would have scored, he would also have made runs Bairstow simply can't see.
