That could be an important 2pts dropped for MK come the end of the season.

Boro escape the loss and get the point, Rhodes scores on his debut from the bench.

Antonio to Man U for 30M? He's becoming quite the journeyman Whistle

Finished 1-1, thats 4 games without a win now for Boro, not on great form and when you look at the stats they are not creating the chances or getting them on target like they were earlier in the season.

Think SG was wrong that May was a better player.

Wouldn't surprise me. They did pay £25m for Depay. Laugh

There was an issue with the server yesterday that caused the site to slow down. I made Mark and Stairs aware and they were able to sort it a couple of hours later and I noticed yesterday afternoon that it was back to normal speed. I didn't say anything as it got fixed fairly quickly. As regards the image not appearing, it could have been connected to the problem but I am not tech savvy enough to know for sure, can you see the image now??

Hunt bigs up Nuhiu.

**St Charles Owl** · 10-02-2016, 03:53

I for one have to admit that Nuhiu is more important to the team that I thought he was. Before we had FF or Hooper there was a greater need for him to score the goals whereas now we are not reliant on him doing that. The fact is he doesn't have to play that well to be effective, sometimes just his mere presence causes the defence problems because it allows FF and Hooper to move around more and creates more space for them. Playing him from the start and then subbing him for Joao or McGeady also gives us a completely different dimension for the opposition to adapt to, or the opposite as we saw last Saturday.

Have been saying it for months - it is the formation that is key. Our best performances have come when we have played 4321 and our worst performances when we have played 442. Hooper & FF are ideally suited for the two behind the striker but less suited as the one up top.

Nuhiu might not be that great but it is clear that we are a better side when he plays. I think we will be an even better side if Joao comes good and fulfils his promise. Until then, our best team is with Nuhiu up top.
