Good comeback after a very sloppy first half. I think that one is on KH to be honest- got his team wrong today. I don’t mind giving Lankshear a rest...
Oh dear. On the face of it, a first half performance that somewhat matches the team selection. We have had a few decent chances to be fair but def...
Thanks for the excellent starter, FD. Especially for helping out one of our own in Jarkko. it’s excellent to be on 21pts after 10 games and when you...
An enjoyable, competitive contest so far for me. Boro started dominantly before Stoke upped the intensity of their press and disrupted our passing. ...
Brilliant opener, Werder - they always are. I like how we had the history from SelwynOz to mark the 150th anniversary, followed a dose of nostalgia ...
I somehow missed "Jack O'Finn". I did enjoy Welshman "Dai Asbrough", though 😀
Absolutely brilliant, Selwyn - a great way to tie the match preview in with (hi)story of the day. Superbly done.
@pedro That was the aim, in full knowledge that respectful, thoughtful and lively debate is what we're good at here. I give us a 9.5. That said, the...
Fair enough, P-N. It’s all opinions. I don’t think Vitek has been good but I don’t think he’s been bad either. As I say, I don’t feel like we’ve see...
Another game where we’re left wondering what if BUT another point on the road and still only one league defeat all season. We’ll be third or fourth ...
Excellent work, Chris. Thanks for putting that together for us. Quite a tough game to call, this. Though I feel like we have a decent recent record ...
@pedro I largely agree with KH there, but not entirely. As an example, the first goal Millwall scored the other night. On the one hand, I was really...
Interesting comments on Carrick. The flip side of what many posters have mentioned is that last season he took a side that was around 16th in the le...
@peter-surtees Great post, Peter.
Fantastic opener, Si. Very much enjoyed that. Hard to disagree with any of the points you raise - filling that gaping midfield on transition is stil...
In all my time supporting Boro, Tony Mowbray is the only manager I can recall that wasn’t accused of not having a Plan B. Even the relatively successf...
I think we knew that about Ayling! Jones I’m less concerned with but suspect that Phillips and Malanda will become the default centre back pairing bef...
A confusing game if we hadn’t seen it several times before. Lots of really good things from Boro but equally, a bit rubbish in both boxes. Palace only...
I think all Carabao Cup games are on Sky Sports+
We often think that being in the Championship makes us powerless to resist the bigger fish of the Premier League when they come hunting for talent. ...
Excellent - thanks Len.
Many thanks for the starter, Clive, especially whilst in transit! Also a very belated thanks to Martin for the Burnley opener. Apologies it didn't c...
@simonfallaha I thought Ayling was slightly at fault for their goal. He dropped two to three yards deeper than the rest of the defence which allowe...
Not the dominance of the ball we’ve become used to and all a bit slow in attack. That gelling and the combinations aren’t there yet. Hopefully they’ll...
@werdermouth I resisted the urge to plunge into James Morrison puns for the fear that they wouldn’t land but I’ll certainly be saying “You Give Me Som...
To Billog and Len’s points, and indeed my own about more balance, I do think that Carrick’s original tactic for his first season fits the bill well. ...
Not a great deal to take from the game but a fairly comfortable win in the end. Mildly disappointing to concede at the end though I thought Phillips w...
