Come on Joe Lumley!

Well Boro not yet disgraced but the gulf is clear. No outfield player has let Boro down but on a night like tonight you need a hero in goal. We ha...

The last time I predicted a Boro defeat was probably Warnock’s last game away at West Brom. A sign of how content I’ve been since I guess. Glorious,...

Jamal Lewis would be a good addition for us I think.

I couldn't agree more, FD.

Hmm. Just about Premier League quality but another right-footed central midfielder? Not a move I would have made to be honest.

Surely Tav was pretty good yesterday? It was his defence splitting pass that put Connolly in in the first half, his neat cutback that put Balogun behi...

And relax. The fine margins were with us today. Coventry edged the game for me but Boro put their big chance away and with it, the points and a plac...

Coventry 60/40 on top for me in that first half but both sides going for it and Boro improved from Monday. Quick one-touch passing from the visitors...

Unchanged team. Surprised but not shocked.

I think a fair few at the top level are, Ken. Watch the likes of Man City and you'll see a lot of players shooting with either foot and not just the f...

I wouldn't write anyone off until they've played a string of games under Wilder. We've got a completely different way of playing the game now which wi...

Cheers Bob. Top work as ever. I wouldn't want to see loads of change as it can be overly disruptive but I would restore Watmore and I'm definitely o...

I think that might have been what led to the Blackburn corner? Still three chances to avoid the goal.

While I'm defending the the latest Boro boo-boys, I'll stick up for Joe Lumley too. I don't think he was culpable for the Blackburn goal or the Read...

Just to keep up my seemingly traditional defence of Marcus Tavernier, Boro’s two biggest chances on Monday night (Crooks header cleared off the line, ...

Is it a coincidence that performances have dipped during the January transfer window? I think we've lost one or two synergies within the team as playe...

Seventh with a game in hand isn’t square one, Malcolm. Lets not get all doom and gloom over one defeat that could very easily have been a draw in th...

Boro bossed the second half but conceded a sloppy goal and couldn’t find the target from eight of our nine second half shots. Crooks was unlucky to fi...

Bugger. Very poor goal to concede after Boro had started the second half so much better.

Boro should have had a penalty but little else from the men in red. There doesn’t seem to be the usual movement up front with passes regularly going...

Yep, a cut and paste job with the same XI and bench as v Reading. Same result would do very nicely. I’m going for 2-2 though.

I doubt it happened but it would actually have been smart of Boro to sell him for less than his release clause if it meant we could have a decent sell...

Fag packet maths time: Promotion = £140m. Boro could argue that they had a 1 in 4 chance had they finished 6th (25%) Losing playoff finalists get...

I've posted this theory a few times in the past but I've always thought of Tony Mowbray as a streaky manager. When his sides are on a roll, they maint...

At this point I'm with Ken on our automatic promotion chances. There's a lot of games to play and we can still finish anywhere really but as the seaso...

Henderson would be a superb signing. I mentioned I would only get a keeper in if we can find a top one or one with massive potential. Henderson is bot...

I don't think Spence and Jones are a direct comparison to be honest. Spence is playing as a right fullback with a wide player ahead of him. His first ...

I agree with that RR. I’d really like to see Tav have an extended run at LWB and settle into the position. His natural abilities look well suited to...
