The common thread for those three is that none of them are great defensively. Spence is better than the other two in that department and has played qu...

I’m not one for having at go a refs and even less so for conspiracy theories but I have to say that some of today’s decisions were so incompetent that...

Much more to be proud of from Boro today as we largely dominated a serious promotion contender on their patch. Sadly and indeed infuriatingly, almost ...

I think we’re at the pivotal moment now. We’re eight points from sixth as it stands and that would surely be too much to make up. We need to turn th...

A highly competent first half (from a defensive point of view) ruined in a heartbeat.

Not overly impressed with that team - the return of the stodgy midfield - but can understand why Warnock has chosen it. Watmore and Bolasie give us ...

Thanks RR. Sadly a draw will do nothing for us but you suspect we’ll setup to try and get one. Hopefully you and Powmill are right in that Warnock’s...

@powmillnaemore Superb 👍👍

@exmil I disagree but as I say it’s each to their own in terms of what they want from their team. When I say Man City, I’m obviously using hyperbo...

If you gave me two options - play and win like that every week, winning the league, or play like Man City but finish sixth - I’d take the second optio...

Well, a win is a win but goodness me that was absolutely dreadful.

Phew. That goal was as bad to concede as ours was though a lovely delivery from McNair. Kick on now Boro.

Glad he’s kept McNair in midfield and brought Kebano back. I fancy us tonight (famous last words). Cov 0-2 Boro (Akpom, Tavernier)

Boro have been much better away from home for a while now so I have some hope for tonight. Coventry tend to play wingbacks as far as I can tell and ...

I didn’t have a problem with Bettinelli moving to cover his near post but if we hadn’t had pretty much everyone competing with Morrison then we may no...

It was disappointing that with Cardiff’s slow back three we chose to try and hit it long over their heads and turn them rather than pass through them ...

This game is winnable so long as we score the next goal.

Boro have been the better side but find themselves behind having conceded a shockingly poor goal. Sigh.

@original-fat-bob Good post, OFB. Recruitment is a bit of an easy hit for disgruntled fans and whilst it’s certainly fair to say that we’ve got a ...

Interesting comments from NW in the Gazette:/p> He doesn’t sound overly impressed with the Recuitment team!

In the vain hope of inspiring a reverse typical Boro moment, I can only see a Cardiff win and am with KP at 0-2.

@k-p-in-spain My Dad grew up in Roseworth. I wonder if you ever delivered him a paper?!

Cheers OFB for taking the lead once again. I’m still too sore from last night to even think about Cardiff at the mo to be honest. The phrase rhymes ...

I’d have to agree with that, Clive. I don’t think NW got his team or tactics wrong. Unfortunately this group just doesn’t have the mental strength t...

@lenmasterman Footballers and pundits alike have often dealt in seemingly random cliches and phrases that make me chuckle. My favourite of this pa...

Thanks for kicking us off, KP. Top man. There could hardly be a better time to play Bristol City. As RR mentioned, BC are absolutely decimated with ...

@redcarred I’d agree with that, RR. In fairness to KP’s point, I did find them fair in their assessment but frankly there was no other way the game ...

@redcarred I’m pretty convinced that three at the back suits us best, particularly for McNair but I think main difference is the make-up of the midf...

Very solid all round performance from the Boro today. Sometimes the game seems very simple: we go back to three centre-halves - the formation we’ve ...
