@exmil Yes, it's hard to see Boro now getting a point a game more than Norwich unless they collapse.
A scrappy game where Boro struggled to pass the ball and Blackburn never really looked a threat - I thought Boro wouldn't score all day until Jones hi...
Missed the first 15 minutes and by all accounts Boro's best spell of the first half - not many clear cut chances since then from what I've seen and qu...
Thanks again FD for yet another great opener and filling in the holes on my knowledge of Blackburn Rover - expectations for Rovers have certainly gone...
@selwynoz I like Luke Ayling as a character in the team but he'll be 33 in August and already looks a bit short on pace against quicker wide player...
Good posts from Andy and Powmill but all I would say is that there's nothing to stop Boro players in any formation making fast slick passes but it see...
Well Birmingham dragged us down to their level in the second half as the game just became scrappier and scrappier as it slumped to its conclusion. Bor...
Boro looked quite comfortable in the first half - especially after that fantastic strike from McGree - which has given Boro something to defend if the...
@original-fat-bob I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...
Belated thanks to FD but I've been busy trying to finish a project but yet again another opener where he's been on top form - I like to think of Boro ...
Team News... Boro unchanged for the third successive game
Since neither Hull or Coventry play again before the international break it means should Boro win their next 2 games and Norwich fail to win at Stoke ...
One of the most complete Boro performances for some time with the defence looking solid, a good shape and intensity and some good finishing after uppi...
@stircrazy Thought Forss was unlucky to be booked as he was first fouled and lost his balance which caused him to foul the QPR player.
Quite an even first half in an absorbing if unspectacular game with Boro showing good intensity and shape to match QPR. Overall, Boro have defended we...
@k-p-in-spain Also confirmed on the BBC that Sainz dismisal overturned - so I wasn't imagining not seeing him deliberately kick Howson 🤔 - btw ther...
Thanks Deleriad for a clever and novel angle on the match preview as you captured the Diasboro zeitgeist of the season as it unraveled. Michael Carr...
@original-fat-bob I keep looking at the incident and I'm not seeing a deliberate raking of studs in this case. Though I agree the foul on Jones whe...
@k-p-in-spain Just watched the incident on the ITVx player and only saw the same camera angles as shown in the highlights and it still doesn't look...
I've watched the replay of the red card many times and I can barely see any contact with Howson's thigh, let alone anything considered as raking - I t...
Here's something to ponder before going to bed - that win has put Boro 10 points behind Hull in 6th and before the international break Boro have their...
Thanks to that red card it turned out to be a comfortable last hour for Boro as they got the goals to retake the lead and then simply used their man a...
@selwynoz I agree about Engel as for some reason he has this propensity to play square infield passes around the edge of the box - he needs to be t...
Yes Boro looked completely short on ideas on how to play against Norwich - they weren't even defending well enough even with an extra defender and it ...
Team News... So it looks like a back three and the team Exmil predicted earlier! Plus Jones is on the bench too!!
If you think the Boro squad lacks pace then maybe this article will reinforce that view when you discover who Crook's claims is the third fastest play...
@original-fat-bob I think Barlaser has made way too many mistakes playing the ball out of midfield to counter the occasions where he's had good gam...
@powmillnaemore After our play-off hopes evaporated, can Boro escape from the depressing black hole and the Championship non-event horizon to avoid...
@exmil I would go with your line-up over the Echo
@jarkko Howson only had a knock so if he’s recovered from that then should be ok. 2-2 is not bad shout given both defences concede on average 1.5 g...
