If the rumours are true that the internal review recommended keeping Carrick in place but replacing his backroom staff - but Carrick refused - then I ...

@werdermouth I agree, Werder. For his own career and development, I think he really has to move now to be honest. Similar sorts of players like Broo...

That's pretty much where I'm at at the moment as well. Keep Hackney, add a quality striker and a reliable right back in good time and I could be pushe...

I'm repeating myself but I have optimism for the new coaching team. As well as being aligned with the Boro hierarchy, Edwards strikes me as a more pra...

@exmil Best news of the summer.

@martin-bellamy You might be right there, Martin. However, if we'd signed him from another club, you'd expect to him to have had regular chances to ...

I believe Josh Dede is a right sided fullback / wingback converted from a winger. I believe we signed him from Celtic in January. Presumably he wasn't...

I'm also disappointed that Coburn has been sold. My instinct was that one positive from the managerial churn this summer would be that Josh would have...

@lenmasterman So sorry to read you've been unwell, Len. Here's a to a full and speedy recovery. I've noted that you won't won't be able to write sta...

@exmil I'd go along with you at 14, though that's low if we have promotion aspirations.

Lovely stuff Werder, the appetite has been whetted (is that a word?)! Probably best in a separate thread but perhaps now is a good time to ask our r...

I'm not sure about Howson as a coach but I would be tempted to give him another year as a player, particularly if Edwards wants to play a back three. ...

I'm glad that the saga of appointing the man we all knew would be in charge has finally happened. We can start to look forward now. I'm perfectly OK...

@lenmasterman I don't know enough about Edwards to know the answer but I think the question is, did Luton play the Edwards way, or did Edwards adap...

I think while Michael Beale has failed as a manager, he’s done quite well as an assistant/first team coach. It was certainly notable how poorly Steven...

@martin-bellamy Interestingly, I didn't feel that (wanting Carrick out) on this Forum, Martin. I thought the wider Boro fanbase had turned, but not ...

That sentence struck a chord with me. If Carrick had remained in charge, I don't think I would have fancied us for promotion or playoffs given where...

As the Gazette has published a flurry of Rob Edwards-related articles today, all signs do indeed seem to indicate that Keiron Scott has got his man at...

@werdermouth I think that would be a final three that makes some sense from the long list, for various reasons. Edwards would be probably be my t...

@werdermouth Correct. This is ugly stuff.

Now that McGree can't stay fit, I think that Hackney is our best and most important player by a million miles. If OFB's rumour is true than clearly he...

@lenmasterman I couldn't agree more with your posts on this matter, and also Werdermouth's. I'm worried about my club at the moment and the shift ...

I'm using today's news to somewhat shamelessly repost an entry I wrote back in February. The second and second to last paragraphs didn't stand up too ...

@werdermouth Rohl is the only one on that list that I'd have any interest in.

@werdermouth Keiron Scott's best mate, Rob Edwards, is available isn't he?

@simonfallaha Welcome back, Si - good to hear from you. An excellent post akin to those most of us will remember from the past, and I agree with all...

@pedro That’s fair enough Pedro, it’s a game of opinions. My own view is that the squad was top 6 material until January but ultimately finished ...

@pedro Tactical flexibility is an interesting one. I remember Tony Mowbray doing it week upon week - adjusting his side to the opposition - and rec...
