Amongst all the mayhem of Wednesday night, it was only the next day I realised what a sublime first touch he had for his goal. That ball is just killed before the final shot.
Smith said he's been training hard Shouldn't forget that forest left him one v one. Which Smith said he was surprised by Boro won't be doing that

Lord only knows what he must have made of Bruce's training sessions.No doubt he's got excellent technique but when I saw him play for Reading I noticed he didn't really challenge for headers in duels and also didn't want physical contact when challenging for the ball so get the feeling that's why we haven't seen him much so far.You sure you didn’t dream that? Don’t think he’s ever played for Reading.

It's hard to imagine Boro being anymore compact though with their shape.It will be more physical with Friend and Shotton at full back.

Against Derby at home they had Ayala, Flint and Fry as their back 3, McNair and Friend as the defensive wing backs and then Besic, Adam Clayton and Howson as three deep sitting midfielders. Downing supported Assombalonga in attackSeems to have even given up on playing out and out wingers as he did at Stoke.
A good impact player at best
