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 ...

Happy with that team. Tough one today but I think that selection gives us our best chance.

Perhaps, somehow, the photo I posted from the Boro Fans Facebook page was doctored as there’s simply no way Paddy’s red would have been rescinded othe...

Thanks Ken (and RR for pasting across). I'll add the opener I had drafted in case there were no takers: Boro head for the Madejski this Saturday f...

Cheers OFB. Let's give others a chance but I'm happy to pick it up if there's no takers by midday Friday.

Despite a jarring start, a nail-biting finish and a lack of multiple clear-cut chances, I was encouraged by last night's display. Rather than us mak...

Boro Fan TV photo on their facebook page... Boro-Fan-TV-McNair.jpg Assuming the photo is accurate (I can't believe it won't be) then I take b...

I felt the red was harsh but could understand why the officials saw it differently to be honest. From their viewpoint, it could have been deemed as a ...

Just need that McNair goal now. Great turnaround after a blistering start from the visitors.

And Watmore scores as I sent the above!

Thankfully Huddersfield haven’t been able to maintain their start and it’s all Boro now. The next goal is absolutely crucial. If we get it, we can w...

Pffffff. 1-0 down already. Have to say, Huddersfield have been superb so far and deserve it.

Based on the team I’ll go for a mightily optimistic 3-1 win with goals from Fletcher, Watmore and McNair.

My guess is it’s a 4-3-3 with McNair in midfield. Glad to see Fletcher and Watmore, surely our two most likely sources of goals.

@lenmasterman Spot on, Len. As usual.

Thanks RR. Between us we've creatively reversed the standard writing format: opening with a footnote and following with a comprehensive appendix! I ...

Although.... 2-1!

2-0. Game over.
