A meek and at times nervy performance from Boro in that first half. Stoke are much more physical and aggressive whilst Boro have been passive and weak...
Conway must be the hardest working forward we’ve had since Tuncay, though I recall as time went on Tuncay tended to save that effort for the bigger ga...
@werdermouth I was a bit baffled by the Gilbert/Burgzorg sub too. I thought he would bring on a defender and push Browne into midfield for Gilbert to ...
Great shape and discipline from West Brom which it didn’t look like Boro would be able to break down but a driving run by Hackney, sharp effort from G...
Looks like he's been replaced with 20yr old Finley Munroe from Villa. Munroe spent much of his youth career with Chelsea and may have played there w...
@powmillnaemore Great work on this Powmill and pleased to see I'm on the rise after a dodgy start! I'm a bit of a spreadsheet geek myself but I thin...
Top work, Chris. Thanks for stepping up and well done on a great starter. The internal monologue made me chuckle and is a novel approach. Great stuf...
Morning all, Just checking if anyone volunteered to cover OFB for the West Brom preview (Friday) or whether we need to quickly knock something toget...
So Carrick appointed and Woodgate with him, though not as his official Assistant. I suspect Woodgate’s outgoing personality gels well with Carrick’s...
Michael Carrick is expected to be appointed manager of Manchester United until the end of the season. I'll be watching that one with interest, and a...
So did they, Exmil. I’m not sure of their injuries other than Muniz but they were also missing 2/3 to AFCON. No shame in the defeat whatsoever, howe...
@mw-in-darwin I had a similar thought, MW. Ultimately, once Fulham were at about 75% full strength, we lost 0-3. If this had been a Premier Leagu...
@lenmasterman Thanks Len, and to all for your kind comments. They are appreciated. No journalism background here. Perhaps we should set up a new thr...
Very good point, Martin. I’ll cobble something together.
Callum Wilson is set to be released by West Ham. Pay as you play deal until the end of the season anyone? I’m sure he’ll get a decent offer somewh...
Great news, OFB (well apart from the stubborn artery, but still….)
Right, I’m not watching another Boro game this season. That’s about the fifth time this season I haven’t been able to watch and we’ve won! We all ...
Domiblunt. That is dominant but blunt.
@werdermouth I think Hellberg has gone with this 4-2-2-2 setup because he thinks it’s best for what he’s got. I reckon he’s right. The conversations...
It was a frustrating match today but there was still a lot I liked. Under Hellberg, our build-up play is lightyears ahead of where it was only a few...
We need more from our front two here. Attacks keep breaking down with Conway and Strelec not involved enough. Might be the key area to target in Jan...
Merry Christmas, Diasborians. As it is every year, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have been among you.
Great work, Martin!
@peter-surtees Great post, Peter.
I’m not so sure about that, Phillip. We hit the post when it should have been buried, created numerous other chances in the first half where we eith...
The second half was a disappointment but in truth we should have been home and dry at half time.
Well Boro should probably be about 3-0 up here. Bristol City surely can’t believe their luck that we’ve hit the post, not made anything of the two or ...
Thanks to everyone for the very kind comments. It’s a joy to write for Diasboro. Trips to Ashton Gate rarely end well for Boro it seems and as other...
