I’m not against Carrick given that I can’t be really - there’s nothing to go on. In his few games as interim manager for Man Utd, they did quite well....
The 4-3-3 didn’t work for us yesterday. As mentioned previously, we haven’t got the inverted wingers and the midfield yesterday was missing both a pas...
A poor game that neither side deserved to win. Boring. Pluses? Lenihan and Fry both look more assured and assertive in a back 4. Watmore looks decen...
Boro marginally the better side but there isn’t a great deal in it. The direct running of Watmore has been Boro’s only threat of any kind from open ...
Another unusual team selection. Let’s see if it produces another unusual result.
You’re getting me all misty eyed now Ken. Ahh, good times.
Despite writing quite a positive match preview (well, you have to keep it light don’t you?) I’m not overly optimistic about the game tomorrow. Three...
Gerrard’s fortunes went downhill once his assistant Michael Beale left for QPR. The Hoops are now top of league under Beale, with Wigan next, and he h...
Yep. What KP said.
I don’t know what this is but it’s quite good fun.
Boro lacking a cutting edge but didn’t deserve to fall behind and did well to come back quickly to 1-1. Wigan haven’t offered a great deal but all b...
So it is a back four after all. Odd selection in that case with our best crosser at left back and our only natural left back on the bench, plus Muniz ...
Wyke starts for Wigan tonight but thankfully no Ashley Fletcher. Elsewhere it’s Boro’s Watmore versus Wigan’s Whatmough.
Teams news is in and I can’t see a left-back in it so assume it is 3-5-2 with Tommy Smith as the right centre-back. Hackney in midfield with Howson ...
In fairness to the Gqzette, they are likely to be cautious about reporting too much in case it leads to their last few remaining journos being banned ...
Typical Boro will give Carrick more power over transfers having denied that to Wilder. The madness that is Boro.
Many thanks OFB for a thorough and honest preview. Despite the press talk and the will-he-won’t-he nature of the managerial saga (has it been long e...
Boro need someone in charge who will carry out their strategy but be the fall guy if it goes wrong. Kwasi Kwarteng is available.
All the best, Ken. Everyone is with you.
I know that they haven’t shown it but I firmly believe that our squad is perfectly capable of challenging for the top six in this league. Yes, there a...
I guess the problem with arguing that the new man shouldn’t bring in unsuccessful coaches with him is that, if he doesn’t, he’ll be working with the u...
@werdermouth Not for the first time. And not for the first time you’ve been a bit more eloquent!
@exmil Very fair point, Exmil. Thiugh perhaps the saying could be updated to “if you have a dog walker, you don’t have to pick up the @?!@“.
@forever-dormo I agree with all of that, FD. My comment was entirely tongue in cheek. When it comes to the Boro, all I’ve got left is my sense of...
So Diasborans, we’re looking for a manager with some experience, who is happy to have limited control over transfers and won’t bring any of his own st...
Thanks Bob. Great read as always. I’d be bringing Jones straight back in and moving Djiksteel to right centre-back for this one. Otherwise I’d go sa...
Boro dug in and got the win. Not a great deal more to say to be honest! Steffen’s best performance for us by some distance, Hackney did well on debu...
Well it was a sluggish, uncertain start but Boro got better as the half progressed. Rather than us being the possession team and Birmingham being di...
