Middlesbrough v QPR Sun 5JUN20 0 - 1 FT 53 pts & 13th

31mins long-range hook shot from Hugill goes over the goalie's head and in the net! Great pass from BOS under pressure and great finish from Hugill. Only problem is that Hugill looks to have done his hamstring in as he landed.  Chair will replace him.

So far, Eze not doing the dead balls well again, but manning doing well with them. Cameron not at his best.

Sounds like Lumley was keeping us in it until we scored but glad to be ahead! Hopefully we can hold on.

Losing Hugill is a big blow though when we have so few options.

Yes losing Hugill for even one game leaves us struggling, so let's hope it was a level one tear and he stopped immediately! Chair is doing OK in the role though, making himself a real nuisance. We are still seeing signs of poor passing, which has plagued all our games since the restart and, as mentioned above, Cameron is worrying (whereas he was commanding in the last game). Ball seems to be playing slightly further up the pitch and is also making himself a real nuisance too. Another positive to take into the second half is how Lumley has been calm under pressure and controlled the goal area - welcome back!

STATS: Aside from our greater possession (and their subsequent higher rate of tackles), the stats are the same. Boro are playing well and do look dangerous going forward.

Awful foul from the Boro player and only gets a yellow

65 mins and triple sub from Boro. Could work either way making so many at the same time....

68 mins Oteh comes on to replace Eze, so expect Chair to move to #10 position

It's not often Eze gets taken off. I suppose we have a lot of matches in a short space of time. Or did he have a knock or just wasn't playing great?
