What has happened Cash’s buccaneering style.  He’s a poor Mick Mills these days.

Decent effort from JD

Agreed.

Lovely dink in Moreno and nobody in the middle

[kippaxvilla2]

Slow slow slow slow.

[VillaTim]

Cash checks back

[Skerra]

With the pace we’re playing at it looks like all our players have decided to have a rest today.

[lovejoy]

Twice we’ve gone back post and nobody there.

[JUAN PABLO]

some good football at times

[Legion]

If we can't win a game with that line up we may as well just stop entering the competition.

This.

I really don’t get what’s happened to our pace from earlier in the season.

Why when on the break as we were then with Bailey, do we check and play backwards and kill the game?
Boro were out of position, so why kill the game and let them get back in shape ?

[Skerra]

When’s the replay?

[PeterWithesShin]

Seems to be a deliberate plan to play slow and patient and once a gap opens we speed it up.
