Whilst it's clear that we're much more likely to get a result when our attackers have space, I don't agree that Boro's style of play or setup was wron...
Great stuff, Clive - much appreciated.
Boro4 we got one more!
Sounds like the start of a rhyme… Boro3 for OFB, Strelec, Browne and Hackney, The clean sheet we haven’t seen for a while, Much like OFB’s che...
Thanks for all the kind comments. The preview was thrown together over an early lunch break so doesn’t have the depth or word count that we’re used ...
I’ll quickly put something together later today.
I don’t think OFB is able to do the preview for the QPR game on Saturday, but I can’t recall if anyone has picked it up. If not, any takers?
Really good away win last night - determined and ruthless. Thought pretty much everyone had a strong contribution including Malanda, whose defending...
Great intro, Selwyn - really interesting numbers. and I think shows that Boro have somewhat overachieved this season. They certainly have compared to ...
I understand the disappointment but I do feel some of the reaction might be a bit OTT. It’s only a few games ago that we were on our best winning st...
Not the result we wanted, especially after the disappointment of the previous two games but I actually found it quite enjoyable to watch. Both teams t...
Another great preview, Werder - they always are! I’m feeling oddly apprehensive about tonight’s game and I’m not sure why. The evidence is that we’l...
Dieng has joined Sheff Wed on an emergency loan. Can’t imagine they’ll be covering his full wage mind.
There's a little bit of insight here from the BBC on how Guardiola tries to find space for his players against an inevitable low block, with the fullb...
Great opener, Powmill - full of pertinent information that leads to a sensible conclusion. ”There are no easy games in The Championship” as the sayi...
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I'm not worried, Clive. I think a lot of other teams have tried Coventry's first half tactic, including Sheff Ut...
I thought it was a decent performance and a competitive game. A couple of errors cost us but, in the first half in particular, our relative lack of ph...
@pedro yes quite possibly - a mix-up between the the two. Thought LA got on the wrong side of Wright for the opener. 2-1 as I type though!
Damn. After stating that Ayling was having a stellar season, I think he’s been at least partially at fault for both goals. Shame. We’re not playin...
I think once the season ends and before pre-season starts, we should have a Thumble Tweed thread.
Thank you all for the many kind responses. Mostly though, I hope you feel much better soon, OFB and that Boro give you a lift on Monday night.
A goal and an assist for him. Keep him fit!
McGree starts. Always a huge boost 🤞🤞
@original-fat-bob Wilder’s attitude in the end still irks but I disagree that he set us back - I would argue that post the Pulis-Woodgate-Warnock e...
Thanks FD - a terrific opener with a brilliantly inventive topical twist! The blog keeps on giving. Having refound themselves again, Sheff Utd away ...
Armstrong is a good Championship level striker and an upgrade for us but not the profile of forward we’re missing in my opinion - I would prefer a hol...
Thanks Jarkko - very enjoyable opener.
