Watching the final episode of the Sky documentary “Mission To Burnley” charting their promotion last season. Naturally the game at The Riverside whe...
@exmil Virgil Van Dijk, Bruno Fernandes and Erling Haaland would suit our needs quite well.
@jarkko If Engels is ready to go then I would stick with McNair for now at right back. He can stay back and form a back three when we're in possess...
For all of our (often justified) grinding of teeth over recruitment, other clubs will view our funds raised by Tavernier, Spence and Akpom with some e...
We'll have to wait and see regarding quality, consistency etc but what seems far more certain is that Engel and Latte Lath look identikit types of pla...
Let's hoppe he does better than the Americano we've just sent back on loan.
@selwynoz On top of that, you can factor in that our peak last season had SIX players unavailable to us now - Smith, Giles, Howson, Akpom, Ramsey a...
I like Willock. Always looked a good technical attacking midfielder who can make things happen and score the odd goal. Very similar to Aaron Ramsey in...
@pedro Possibly, Pedro. He may also feel that changing the tactics up for the short term might cause more damage in the long term. We have a lot of...
@pedro I think a lot of that frailty is tactical. We play a risky game at times and commit bodies forward. I think that, in a more defensive setu...
I think the recruitment policy is a lot more right than wrong. In the past two seasons we’ve had a half and half approach of players for now and oth...
Interesting stat shown on Sky: Carrick’s first 27 games: Goals, shots on target & shot conversion - first in the division Last 6: bottom for g...
Hmm. The comparisons with last season’s start are fair but in fact we’ve been worse this season so far. Last year we made a couple of howlers in t...
Many thanks for a brilliant opener, Deleriad. I was quite impressed with Coventry in their defeat away to Leicester and clearly Mark Robins has a bl...
Think I agree with that, OFB. I'm starting to wonder if - like Crooks - he's a no. 8 in a team that plays 6s and 10s.
Good to get a win and score some goals. It's always difficult to know what to take from these games with two much changed sides. The early sending o...
I like McNair in a back three but nowhere else tbh. Needs must though, as has been the case for about three seasons somehow.
Brilliant, Clive. Many thanks for your comprehensive opener which I enjoyed as much as I appreciated.
Shades of Southgate’s Boro today: technical, easy on the eye but lacking a genuine cutting edge. The makings of a good side but not there yet and a mo...
The anticipation is building nicely now. I say this a lot (and am often wrong!) but I do think the first goal is crucial today. I expect Millwall ...
If BBC Tees are correct in that Boro were expecting to sign Ryan Giles this summer, then I would assume that there is at least circa £5m to spend that...
Great work, Werder 👏 👏
@werdermouth No worries, Werder - it's an absolute minefield out there and I've no doubt that the method will work. I had no issues navigating thro...
Regarding the current state of the squad, our prospects for next season and longer term sustainability, it's a mixed bag for me. The current squad i...
@werdermouth No issues following that Werder - nice one. Only query is whether that registration process is more complicated than usual for a for...
@werdermouth Great work Werder - thanks as ever!
