Superb, Bob. Many thanks for that comprehensive preview. I’m interested to know what the situation is with Bola as it was a surprise to see him left...
@deleriad I had a similar thought around Akpom/Kane. I also think that, the more I see of him, Forss isn’t really a number 9. He’s more of a runner...
With Boro in the shape we’re in and adapting to a new coaching setup, we’ve really no right to expect top performances. Take the three points and mo...
Unfortunately I’m going to miss the game today but looking to reading all about our magnificent victory from my fellow Diasborans. Not quite sure wh...
@malcolm I presume it’s both, Malcolm - a loan deal to the end of the season but Boro have an option to recall in Jan if they want.
@pedro I think Coburn has largely come off the bench too, though he is still returning from injury. The ideal situation with Josh would have been...
@exmil I take your points re Scott but he didn't need to say anything in my opinion. His role is one for the long term and he can be judged on what...
I thought it was an interesting and ultimately quite uplifting press conference. Carrick came across much like he used to play: not flashy, not a hu...
Many thanks Bob for the opener. Just in time for the news today. Best of luck to Carrick. I hope he does brilliantly. I wonder where this leaves ...
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.
