@deleriad You touched on some players enjoying the way they've been asked to play by Wilder. I think it's a really important point. There's a gene...
@redcarred All good points, RR, but I’d rather have the cover in that right wingback position. Not sure who plays there if Jones is injured, probabl...
@paulinboro More relief than anything else, Paul. I’m certainly not planning for anything but midtable this season, though I think we can push into ...
@jarkko Number wise it looks ok. The main problem at the moment, partly because of injuries of course, is that Wilder doesn’t have anything on the...
It’s an absolute pleasure to see Boro passing and moving, that way football should be played as opposed to the “keep your shape and hoof it” stuff we’...
Another dominant first half performance from Boro, this time with two goals. Beauties, both of them. Time for the players to show their new manager ...
Many thanks for the preview, OFB. Much appreciated as always.
SAMMY AMEOBI. His Dad’s in the army so he’s always moving schools. Spent a term here in Y9 and quickly became a popular kid but moved away before he’d...
I think I gave up on promotion before the season started! I don't mean that as a doom-monger but just an assessment of the squad. You usually get a fe...
@werdermouth Spot on. I agree with all of that.
@werdermouth Agree Werder re needing a few quality players to make this work. We’re ok at the back (not sure about in goal) and can get better when ...
Well I don’t know how Boro have managed to lose that. Fair enough, we weren’t cutting them open at will but we dominated the ball for spells and got...
An unconvincing start from Boro but we grew into it, got a goal, and by the end of the half we were popping it around like a BTEC Man City. We’ve re...
I would have thought that any wingers are now surplus to requirements to create space in the squad. Ameobi and Brown are the most obvious given inju...
Have to agree with that, Ken. Bar Joe Root, the England Test team doesn’t have any reliability whilst the bowling lack lacks searing pace generally an...
@ken It’s a lovely thing, Ken - both the speaking to your wife and the reunification. Believe me, I hope you’re right.
@ken Wholeheartedly not wanting to upset you or anyone else of faith, I will declare that I am an atheist. We know one another well enough now! Th...
Excellent fightback from NZ. Slight favourites now perhaps as the players retake the field.
@ken Its a very good start from Australia at this stage, Ken. Should have just taken the second wicket there. Maybe that will be a turning point.
Cheers OFB - another good ramble through the talking points of the Boro day as we start to think about the next game. Who knows what to expect from ...
Ultimately, a player valuation is just a feeling really - a guesstimate of the figure you think you and the other club would be prepared to pay or rec...
I’ve seen three Wembley defeats and couldn’t go to Cardiff! Grrr….
@pedro You're right to mention better players Pedro but I'm not sure it's all about individual ability per se. Any professional footballer (and, f...
There's certainly a very good game being talked by Chris Wilder and I like everything I've heard so far which feels a lot more like longer-term thinki...
If Wilder wants to play in the same way that he did with Sheff U then I agree that the squad needs work in the wingback areas. The other key missing i...
I must admit to also feeling underwhelmed by the impending Chris Wilder appointment. Wilder’s record is pretty good I would say with plenty of promo...
@werdermouth I think Neil Warnock is right and that relegation pay reductions would have to be mandatory in all players contracts. As you say thou...
Boro’s little run of wins may have come against straightforward opposition but they also came when we were down to the bare bones of the squad, as we ...
