Ian Royal Woo. Heard Pog's name. Immediately after, ball with 'Boro.

Actually, Pog has been pretty decent so far, he hasnt given the ball away much and has linked up with Cox several times.

If you're there, why the hell are you posting, not watching?
If you're not there, how do you know?

From a boro point of view only thing that's worrying me is that we are not ahead yet which means it can turn against us if you go and score an early goal.

Then again Ian, Pog could put in a man of the match performance and score five goals and you'd still compain he didn't score six.

From what I've heard you've been profligate in front of goal. So I'd agree that your only worry sounds like missing all your opportunities to win.

When I first came here I wondered why everyone was harsh on Ian Royal, I am starting to understand why hahah.

Strong second half for us and we can take this game!

Well i could quote where you've been completely over the top in slagging him off but i can only embed 3 quotes.

Put it this way, Murray could have an excellent game and not score and you'd say it was down to the service, Pog could have an excellent game but not score and you'd put it down to him being overpaid and shit.

Give credit where it's due, by all accounts he's having a decent game, not spectacular, but decent and the signs suggest that if he sticks around, he could do a job for us for the rest of the season which is precisely what we are looking for and at no extra expense which would be a bonus.

We were wasteful with our chances at Barnsley to only difference was against Barnsley, we had so many chances that it was almost impossible not to take some of them. We wont get that many chances again today so in the second half we need to take more of them although at the back we rarely let them in so not worried about conceding as much.

Readings passing and possession of the ball is not up to scratch today.

Defensively doing well, closing down very fast.

Again, drivel.

I cirticised Murray against Watford for missing golden opportunities.

My entire dislike of Pog is based on 1) The size of his wages 2) His mediocre performances 3) The mediocrity of his performances compared to his massive wages. The second he starts earning his money, I'm on board. So far he's been with us for 23 months of play. He's blatantly our top earner. For only one of those 23 months has he had any case for being in our top 5 performers. Not. Good. Enough.

I can't comment on whether he's having a good game at the moment, too little information. If you'll actually read what I've said about him, it's that I'd heard his name once whilst listening to the majority of the first half and we immediately lost the ball. I've not even heard HRK's name.

It's not unreasonable to ask seanboyd how he can categorically say he's having a good game.

A header from Pog, from 6 yards out that went over the bar in the first half.
