@simonfallaha Welcome back, Si - good to hear from you. An excellent post akin to those most of us will remember from the past, and I agree with all...

@pedro That’s fair enough Pedro, it’s a game of opinions. My own view is that the squad was top 6 material until January but ultimately finished ...

@pedro Tactical flexibility is an interesting one. I remember Tony Mowbray doing it week upon week - adjusting his side to the opposition - and rec...

A fantastic opener, Werder. You really are the master of them. A superb read yet again. It feels like a bit too much has to go in our favour on Satu...

I’m very late to the party via a combination of being snowed under at work and really not wanting to think about Boro after that Sheffield Wednesday p...

I still don't think that Carrick is the main problem - how many managers have failed at Boro over the past decade and more? - but I accept that there'...

We got what we deserved. It’s really unforgivable to play with so little intent at this stage of the season and in the circumstances we find ourselves...

Apologies @exmil . Been very busy and I completely forgot about it

The general consensus is that, at this stage of the season, it doesn’t matter how you win games so long as you win them. It didn’t feel like that to...

Thanks for the excellent opener, Martin. I must admit that I’m almost indifferent at this stage of the season, so convinced am I that we won’t go up...

I don’t think that was a poor performance at all. The first 15 minutes were very poor but the last 80+ (inc. stoppage time) was a pretty dominant disp...

@original-fat-bob Sorry to read that you're in hospital, Bob. Best wishes on a speedy recovery - everyone here will be rooting for you. @exmil -...

A family favourite story on predictive text: My mother-in-law once texted a friend to enquire how her winter holiday was going. “Fantastic”, came th...

Are there any positives? Well, if we get into the playoffs from here, we’ll be the side going in with real momentum….

@werdermouth Ha, yes - in the end I thought I’d go ahead with it anyway as Carrick might not be here by then! Many thanks to everyone for your ki...

I’m with Len that sacking Carrick would be a big mistake but I do feel that his time might be up unfortunately. Once the fans turn against a manager t...

I still have plenty of faith in Carrick and think that the main issues lie elsewhere but I accept that he's not doing himself too many favours at the ...

I had written something very similar to this but you’ve hit the nail of the head again, Werder. I’ll no doubt revisit it when my Easter match preview ...

Brilliant starter, Werder - you really are top drawer at preview writing, always such a pleasure to read. The discontent is setting in now, isn't it...

Wow, we got away with that didn’t we? Boro second best all over the pitch and looking totally incoherent - not surprising given the ridiculous Janua...

Sorry I haven't posted much of late - still lurking around here though. Just wanted to pass on my thanks to Selwynoz for a brilliant opener - a real...

The spine lacks leadership again for me. I really don’t like the Hackney/Barlaser partnership in midfield as think both want to do a similar job but t...

I’m glad that Edmundson is in the XI as otherwise, like against Sheff Wed, the spine would have no talkers, leaders or organisers. Let’s hope it’s t...

Many thanks for a terrific opener, Jarkko, and indeed to all those who’ve made the excellent effort to write for us throughout the year. We are truly ...

There's only Leeds so far this season that I would class as definitely better than us. We didn't play very well at Sunderland but I didn't see a gulf ...
