Many thanks OFB for the opener. I missed the Reading game as we took the long drive back from Aberdeenshire and was once again disappointed upon see...

Thanks for the kind comments. A pleasure to read them. Good post above from Deleriad, as ever. I suspect that Muniz will turn out to be the most a...

Are you suggesting that as part of the loan deal, Boro have not only allowed him to play against us but insisted on it?

I think Mowatt is a great addition. He was Barnsley’s best for several years and just a shame that West Brom took him when Ismael took charge. It ha...

Thanks Bob - and everyone - for the kind responses. It’s good to be back, though I’d quite like Boro to get back on track as well! I enjoy your prev...

Thanks Deleriad and I agree on the team for Sunday. I also suspect that once fully fit, Fry will end up in the centre of defence. He's been a rock for...

KP, As much as I bang on about how much I like Wilder's style of play, I think we will concede more goals than we're used to. I just think that's th...

I thought it might be useful to look back at how Wilder has started previous full seasons as a manager, and see if we can draw anything from that: ...

I agree that I think the League Cup, at least in it's current format, has run it's race. That said, the cup may provide some income for lower league...

I suspect that the club are operating a dual recruitment plan this summer as they did last year - longer term permanent signings driven by the recruit...

Don’t panic, Bob. It’s only three games and last night’s barely counts. We played quite well in spells in the league games - it’s a lot better than ...

Looks like Bola at LWB. Not sure if it will be Djiksteel or Smith at RWB - possibly the latter to save Djijsteel’s legs but Smith being captain feels ...

Hoppe being just 21, with no experience of English football nevermind the Chanpionship, and having played very little first team football in the last ...

I’ll go the other way and say that, if he’s here long enough, I think Chris Wilder will turn out to be our best manager since Bruce Rioch.

Fair enough. Regards going with experience from the bench, to be fair I think most managers do unless you're comfortably in front. Not too many are ...

That would be a very good signing.

Deleriad, I'm not sure about Wilder and not using youngsters. Last season we regularly had Fry, Tav, Jones, Balogun and Connolly on the field - all ...

I thought the Hoppe deal was more or less done but no announcement so far. Not sure if he’ll improve our defending though!

Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) I missed the game yesterday due to other commitments. I was surprised and pretty disappointed when I saw the r...

Where do you think we’ll finish this year Plato?

So far so good with Boro in control against a physically powerful but somewhat clunky West Brom who look a bit undercooked in comparison to a smoother...

Bola preferred to Fry at the back is a slight surprise but then we did say Lenihan might be more direct competition for Dael, whilst we know CW wants ...

Exactly that, KP. By the way, having a structure, an identity in terms of way of playing, a good manager and a recruitment strategy is still not a g...

I don’t see a lot of evidence of disconnection/discontent/disharmony between Wilder and Scott/the club. All the signings that we’ve made could very ...

I guess this is a pretty obvious statement but ultimately deals don’t get done unless there is agreement from all parties. I’m really disappointed t...

The impending loss of Tavernier is a real blow and puts a bit of a dampener on what had otherwise been a promising transfer window. I’m pleased that...

Norwich relegated - now there’s a bold prediction!
