I thought first half Boro were completely exposed on the wings, they had everyone sat in the middle just trying to lift it over our defense for the runners in behind.
Second half our tiredness really started to show and we just let Boro have the ball outside the area. I thought fornah and Hoilett started to look tired, about 65mins, credit to them both for keeping it up.
As they got tired, I was worried that fornah and Loum were getting pulled out of position too easily, which I suppose it's natural when you're too tired to get back in place, but they did well. Not afraid to commit a foul to break up play, risking a card. Boros ability to bring on fresh legs kept them in it for longer than it should have done. With a more experienced bench (meite, ejaria etc), we could have kept possession better.
Boros finishing was poor and they were determined to over play it all the time. Several occasions they could have had an easy shot and just kept passing onto the next player, ending up out wide on the wing.
All in all, a good win. A point would probably have been fairer, but we're not in a position to settle, whilst morale is so high.
