Disappointing first half but thankfully no damage done. Ipkeazu working hard and doing what he does but no-one else showing from an attacking point ...

Peltier a surprise but good to see Morsy back and great to have Tavernier ready and playing.

It feels like quite a big game today. Of course, it isn’t really with so much of the season to play and so many twists and turns to come but having wo...

I noticed in the press conference that NW didn't seem too happy with Lumley's performance on Wednesday night. He suggested that Lumley was partly culp...

Feels like the front end is finally starting to take shape for the first time since, what - 2016?

@original-fat-bob Warnock said that the new man grew up around the corner from Isiah Jones and suggested they knew each other so I’m sure that will ...

I’d be happy to accept a decent offer for McNair to be honest. We paid £5m I think. If we can get that back I’d take it. Any more is really good bus...

@redcarred Fully agree, RR. There is a way to air your frustrations and from what I saw, Warnock got it wrong. Sure, Jones' yellow card wasn't eve...

Thanks OFB. For me, despite last night's disappointment, we're in decent shape. Central midfield needs looking at but I'd be amazed if there wasn't ...

Yes, the Akpom the substitution was a very strange choice. I can only think that NW thought he had a bit more pace than Coburn going up some tired leg...

McNair in midfield just doesn’t work for me. Whilst he rarely looks a poor player, whenever he plays in midfield we seem to lack balance. With Wing go...

Bugger. A crazy game that Boro should never have lost in the end. I thought the 1-0 scoreline at half-time flattered us after QPR dominated all bu...

@redcarred Agree with that, RR. I wonder if this is the immediate impact of our new Head of Recruitment, even if many of the signings arrived before...

£2.5m for left back cover seems too much to me as well, even if it’s also left wing cover. Tav, Watmore, Jones and Ameobi can all operate at left wi...

No Tav or Watmore in the squad and I fear Spence has been shoved out on the right wing again. Gulp.

Thanks again, OFB. Like you, I expect a return to the Fulham XI but this is a very different game. Neither side look high on confidence and both m...

It was a team of strangers playing last night really and no real surprise that a disjointed performance followed. Still, there doesn’t appear to hav...

No squad number for Bamba?

Marco Silva and Neil Warnock could barely be more different. Silva burst onto the scene as a dynamic, young, attack-minded, possession enthusiast bu...

Cheers OFB. Here we go again, eh? It’s difficult to see anything other than Fulham dominating possession and controlling the game or Warnock setting...

@original-fat-bob Me too to be honest, OFB. No doubt the club would accuse of us of hindsight but many of us could see that Bamford's clever movemen...

@ken In some (many?) cases the problem has not been the quality or attitude of the forward but the way we've used them. I can faintly hear the ste...

I’m still in favour of wingbacks on the basis that to my mind we still consistently look a better side in that setup. My slight problem is that both F...

Viduka was one of a long list of hugely talented footballers who just didn’t want it enough to be truly top class. Boro had a few of those in that era...

With Wing working hard to impress, Morsy back fully fit, Crooks apparently on the brink of signing, Howson to return and McNair able to play centre-mi...

Maybe it was the famous BBQ.

@exmil Of course, but we can also bear in mind the much more laboured performances in the previous two friendlies. Friendlies are friendlies but I...

I rest my case.

@exmil Lots of players in their best positions tonight: McNair in defence (in his time at Boro he’s certainly looked best there), Coulson and Spen...
