Well that was predictable I guess - only another 5 to go for my prediction to be right! Just hope not all to Bolton
@k-p-in-spain thanks I hadn’t realized that - makes sense
Based on the team selection which is reasonably strong then I am going to predict a 3 3 draw after extra time with Boro conceding in the last minute o...
@plato good questions to which I am not sure what the answers are. Maybe the best answer is “well, it’s typical Boro”! I have been supportin...
@forever-dormo what a ludicrous system we have where this can take so long to get to a point where what should have happened at the outset. ...
in some respects MC doesnt have a choice - somehow he has to get his best 11 playing as a team and not making so many basic errors
Finally managed to find time to catch up - life always seems take over and I am supposed to be retired! Mrs BBD had us decorating over the weekend and...
Spoke too soon - wrong end!
Quick catch up for me whilst sitting in a hotel in an overcast but humid Monchengladbach before a concert with a German group my wife likes and has ne...
@pedro Agree although we need to get our finger out and arrange for a replacement ASAP - whilst nit wanting to judge a player before his boots are ...
After a hectic weekend, not least of all trying to sort out sourcing a new car since some kind person decided to run into the back of me and caused a ...
@powmillnaemore McNair is certainly better in the middle - I would play him as part of a back 3 providing there is an adequate wing back to cov...
that makes sense and confirms my view that SG hasn’t wanted, for whatever reason, to splash the cash to chase something which, sadly, these days isn’...
Deleriad As Johnny Nash once sang “there are more questions than answers” which is always the thing with Boro. a good opener and with Covent...
@original-fat-bob looking at his record one can see why! Or maybe I am just stirring things up a bit………
so a back 4 of McNair VDB, Lehihan, Coulson Jones Hackney Barsalar Payero, Silvera Rogers A decent mix I guess
A great piece Clive and I will await a non covid piece with baited breath! Despite being my nearest ground, due to other issues, I am unable to go w...
@paulinboro and without the time either, just the match time which annoying still stops after 90 minutes, well the two smaller ones did, the main o...
@selwynoz Some very good points there - put in a better way than my quick comments after driving home in some horrible weather. hard to disag...
@werdermouth Fingers crossed for the weather for you. We are heading to Munchengladbach and Berlin in a couple of weeks time so hopefully will have...
@werdermouth Sounds like the weather there is no better and I feel for you in a tent - never like camping in the rain, it can be miserable. Hav...
Just home from the game - and a not unexpected result really. In truth they should have had 3 as their finishing was poor. As others have said, we w...
@selwynoz I am with you on that - I was using the comment to support my view, not as a criticism of the policy. The gap between the Championship ...
@malcolm certainly being diplomatic! The gaps are fairly obvious and we all know that money will dictate both on fees and wages and as alread...
@deleriad a good summary of where we are at - I would add from my career in finance that cash is king! My motto for any business was that tu...
That has been my thoughts as well - he and his agent presumably gave their request, Boro made theirs and one would have thought that it would have bee...
@original-fat-bob Do you mean the brain fog from watching Boro, getting old or Covid!? anyway hope that Clive recovers quickly
@deleriad They do say attack is the best form of defence and I would like to see your team and maybe MC may surprise us!
A great piece which does cover all the bases for what will be, as ever, an interesting start to the season. As a result of a late change in other co...
