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...
We all tread a little bit carefully when discussing politics on this blog and rightly so. For my pennies worth, Keir Starmer seems a credible leade...
@werdermouth I could barely think of anything worse than a nightclub before COVID, nevermind now!
Warnock has stated that he wants 8 or 9 players from whom he knows what he's going to get every week. The two or three that leaves are presumably more...
Given that Boro are short of left backs and wide players it makes no sense at all to allow Coulson to leave in my opinion. Surely he can undergo som...
@exmil My assumptions on Saville were that we paid around £7m over 4 years and that by him going back to Millwall we wouldn’t pay the final instalme...
@werdermouth I think that's right, Werder. I just think we have to be a little bit cautious as a club and whilst we should support Warnock we should...
Good post Werder and sums up the state of play nicely. I do think it's a shame that less experienced talent like Wing, Coulson and Spence seemingly ...
It’s green after all… 5DCE3579-DA94-496A-AF53-C81B18228B84.jpeg
@ken Certainly quite a northern-born England squad this time to which you can add Aaron Ramsdale / Sam Johnstone, Dean Henderson, Jordan Henderson, ...
I thought England did very, very well even to make the final. There were four or five nations out there with better XIs in my view but having topped o...
@original-fat-bob Didn't quite catch that, OFB - was that a nudge and a wink?
Some more information on Payero from Wyscout here:
I expect Maddo would be Bahamboozled.
Speaking of Martin Braithwaite, apparently he’s worth €250m thanks to successful business ventures in clothing, housing and land. I guess that puts ...
Yes I had the same thought, though it's possible he's a late developer. The internet is no place to judge a player but he does look a strong lad; a ...
Come on England.
@ken I guess that rules out Lee Dong Gook as well!
