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 ...
That was the toughest fixture in the Chanpionship calendar and it showed. Leeds a level above for much of the game. We had our moments in the second...
Thanks @jarkko but I didn’t have any this year due to work and family commitments. The Easter one is ideal as I’ll definitely be off!
@jarkko I could take that one Jarkko.
Recent(ish) best loan candidates for me: Woodgate (I think he was initially loaned) Geremi- terrific short-term addition Gaston - it ended badly...
Many thanks for a thorough opener, FD, even if you did have to do it at short notice (it doesn’t show in the slightest). Is there anything we can do...
A slow start with some nervy touches at the back but Boro survived the opening 20mins or so to take control and finish the half looking the most likel...
I agree with Carrick that our main problems are not tactical ones. I think the players have to take a good proportion of the blame for continually mis...
@lenmasterman Interesting post, Len. There may be something in that as to why Hackney didn't get as much of a chance. As well as that we had Howson...
Many thanks, Clive, for your excellent opener which I enjoyed reading. I really enjoyed the majority of Wilder's time at Boro. After the Pulis-Woodg...
Sorry to hear of your hospital admission, OFB. Get well soon.
Superb starter, Werder. Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Best wishes KP. Hope all goes well.
Good to read you're back home already Exmil. All the very best for your recovery.
Many thanks Selwyn for a highly informative opener. My gut feeling is that we are catching Watford at the right time as their form has dipped just a...
As many of us assumed, there was no change in approach for yesterday’s game, just some much needed changes in personnel. Dijksteel was an enforced cha...
Best 45 at The Riverside so far this season. Great to see. McGree like he’s never been away and Doak all over them. The tempo is so much better.
Hope all goes well, Exmil.
This article may be of interest to some... Higher or lower: Boro, Bristol City, Norwich, Northampton, Salford & Tranmere (ntt20.com)
Well done Jarkko. Delivering such an informed and comprehensive opener in your second language (or is third or fourth???) is really quite amazing ...
I was there too, FD. I think Werder as well...?
It's no laughing matter but it did make me chuckle!
