Probably more likely that Howson will drop into defence.

Is that the back three that Deleriad suggested? Could be: ————————Steffen——————— ———-Dijksteel Lenihan Bola———— Jones Howson Barlaser Mowatt Gil...

Many thanks for the opener Bob and glad that you’re gradually getting back on your feet. It’s a shame that this game and the next two don’t hugely m...

Brilliant burst of pace and quality at the start of the second half that deflated Hull and effectively killed the game. Boro could have had several mo...

Decent start to the second half this.

Hmmm. Quite an even first half and I’ve been impressed with Hull. Like we often do, they drift into the spaces between midfield and defence and pass...

@exmil I think just the totals would be fine, Exmil.

@exmil oops. Blackburn win.

Exmil, Here's my guesses for Part 3: Burnley (91) W W L D W (101)Shef Utd (79) W W D L D (86)Luton (74) W L W W (82)Boro (71) W W D W (81)Millwall...

Well fellas, if you don’t enjoy this version of Boro, you’re Tony Pulis. Gerrin.

I think one of the problems with our defence within the tactics we play is pace generally - we push up the field and leave some space behind but none ...

@jarkko Yes I saw that, just meant that Pukki was their traditional threat but seems to have regressed a bit this season as he's on his way out.

Great comeback. Shame it was needed.

B word. So many chances to stop that goal. 2-0. Trouble.

A finely balanced first half with a big chance or two at either end. Reminiscent of the games in the early part of Carrick’s reign, the game could swi...

That defeat to Huddersfield is looking better by the week. Millwall, Boro, Watford and now 2-0 up against Blackburn. They play Sheffield Utd on Star...

Hope you’re feeling better, Bob.

@deleriad I think there’s some truth in that. Stoke at home is the only game that comes to mind where we got out with a draw. I think it’s the ma...

Ken, I’d have to disagree about the advantages of another season in The Championship. In modern football, there is simply no substitute for the £140...

Millwall 0-0 Luton. Not a bad result for us but it does mean that Burnley can seal promotion tonight with a win. We want to ensure they don’t not ...

@martin-bellamy I noticed Jason Steele dong a great job of it for Brighton as late. He's now their first choice keeper due, primarily, to his distr...

Thanks, OFB - great stuff as ever. On paper, this is clearly the toughest match remaining - for Burnley that is! Ok, for us too. I was surprised t...

I would hope not, Pedro. I would like to think that Akpom would still be here regardless but he may feel he has to cash in on his form, understandab...

@exmil Hard to imagine him starting any, Exmil. He could be a useful sub though. Perhaps if we're 1-0 or 2-0 up and looking to protect what we ha...

Given that his crossing isn't great and that his strengths are his pace and dribbling, I suspect that Jones' best position is as a left winger cutting...

Can’t argue with any of that KP, but I would say that the season-long stats are a bit skewed and don’t fully represent who we are today. January onwar...

Yesterday’s capitulation came as a shock but we shouldn’t go overboard in my opinion, just as we shouldn’t when we win big as we have been of late. Th...
