I’m glad that Edmundson is in the XI as otherwise, like against Sheff Wed, the spine would have no talkers, leaders or organisers. Let’s hope it’s t...

Many thanks for a terrific opener, Jarkko, and indeed to all those who’ve made the excellent effort to write for us throughout the year. We are truly ...

There's only Leeds so far this season that I would class as definitely better than us. We didn't play very well at Sunderland but I didn't see a gulf ...

That was the toughest fixture in the Chanpionship calendar and it showed. Leeds a level above for much of the game. We had our moments in the second...

Thanks @jarkko but I didn’t have any this year due to work and family commitments. The Easter one is ideal as I’ll definitely be off!

@jarkko I could take that one Jarkko.

Recent(ish) best loan candidates for me: Woodgate (I think he was initially loaned) Geremi- terrific short-term addition Gaston - it ended badly...

Many thanks for a thorough opener, FD, even if you did have to do it at short notice (it doesn’t show in the slightest). Is there anything we can do...

A slow start with some nervy touches at the back but Boro survived the opening 20mins or so to take control and finish the half looking the most likel...

I agree with Carrick that our main problems are not tactical ones. I think the players have to take a good proportion of the blame for continually mis...

@lenmasterman Interesting post, Len. There may be something in that as to why Hackney didn't get as much of a chance. As well as that we had Howson...

Many thanks, Clive, for your excellent opener which I enjoyed reading. I really enjoyed the majority of Wilder's time at Boro. After the Pulis-Woodg...

Sorry to hear of your hospital admission, OFB. Get well soon.

Superb starter, Werder. Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Best wishes KP. Hope all goes well.

Good to read you're back home already Exmil. All the very best for your recovery.

Many thanks Selwyn for a highly informative opener. My gut feeling is that we are catching Watford at the right time as their form has dipped just a...

As many of us assumed, there was no change in approach for yesterday’s game, just some much needed changes in personnel. Dijksteel was an enforced cha...

Best 45 at The Riverside so far this season. Great to see. McGree like he’s never been away and Doak all over them. The tempo is so much better.

Hope all goes well, Exmil.

This article may be of interest to some... Higher or lower: Boro, Bristol City, Norwich, Northampton, Salford & Tranmere (ntt20.com)

Well done Jarkko. Delivering such an informed and comprehensive opener in your second language (or is third or fourth???) is really quite amazing
...

I was there too, FD. I think Werder as well...?

It's no laughing matter but it did make me chuckle!

@werdermouth I actually think we do have good enough players to get results in the way Carrick wants to play. I still feel that it's a matter of ti...

As Vincent Kompany has been mentioned above, I think his example is interesting for someone like Michael Carrick. Kompany, of course, got Burnley pr...

@philip-of-huddersfield I would say Burnley, Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton have all been promoted playing a similar sort of game. Fair enoug...

I think we have to cut Borges a little bit of slack. He’s still very new to the team, the league, the area and the country. The fact is that we’ve n...

Well I tried to force some optimism into proceedings but in the end it was more of the same. Fair play to Sunderland. They didn’t overcommit and all...

Even game. Boro guilty of failing to hit the target from two uncontested headers and then a little unlucky that Edmundson’s deflection took Dieng out ...
