Well, are we all feeling a little better after that positive performance? 😀😀

Thanks for a good scene-setting opener, Powmill. It is, as werder said, quite sobering, but that’s clearly where we find ourselves now with optimism i...

It is so disappointing that Boro’s soft underbelly once again provoked embarrassment and irritation in equal measure. How many more times? Carrick say...

@pedro I agree 100%. Giles is at least as suspect defensively as either of the two first team left-backs we already have. Left back in the (Hull) d...

I’d like to add my belated thanks, OFB, for a terrific opener which amply highlights our main issues, and especially leadership. And thanks to Len ...

Like others, I am more disappointed by the nature of the defeat than about the result itself. We were insipid and so toothless both in attack and in c...

I loved your opener, werder. It really made me laugh and at the same time told me lots I didn’t know about the FA Cup! Thanks and well done. I’m ver...

@jarkko Yes, you Finns are amazing. And like much of Europe, you just keep the country running whatever the weather or the temperature. Here, in co...

The negatives: The ref was atrocious and really needs a trip to Specsavers. Once again we threw away points against poor opposition and missed th...

Thanks for a great starter, Martin. It’s really interesting. Those two Cardiff games are etched in my memory, of course; the home loss in the Cup quar...

Len raised the point about keeping Gilbert rather than sending him on loan. I agree with that. In fact, if we were now to lose either Hackney or Barla...

I had virtually given up, expecting to be very disappointed by another draw and more lost points against weak opposition. We had been knocking on the ...

I’d like to add my congratulations, Len, on yet another masterpiece! As ever, you present a really well-balanced, cogent and beautifully written piece...

@exmil I agree. I’m happy-ish with a point. The most pleasing aspect was that we defended manfully and stoutly against one of the automatic promoti...

That was a quite magnificent opener, dormo, undoubtedly one of your best! I don’t know how you keep on producing work of such quality. Given our li...

Boro at their best first half. Boro at their absolute worst second half. Unacceptable. I said I didn’t know which Boro would turn up - but I didn’t e...

I echo everybody’s thoughts on your great starter, Jarkko. It was really informative and very well researched. Thank you. I’ve no idea which Boro will...

@original-fat-bob Interesting that Wayne Rooney told his side at half-time to target Borges, recognising, as we all did (except Carrick!) that the ...

I agree with you all that this was a terrible performance defensively, though I also agree, despite that, that Dijksteel was our best player. I was gr...

@k-p-in-spain Thanks KP.

Does anybody know if there’s a live TV stream of our Plymouth game on Saturday? I presume they’re no longer on BoroLive?

Thank you, Len, for a superlative opener. In a very strong field of Diasboro openers, and against very stiff opposition, yours is currently leading in...

@martin-bellamy And I forgot to praise Sol Brynn’s very good goalkeeping!

I too am a little puzzled by some of the negativity. Boro won against a tough and well-drilled Millwall who don’t concede goals. We kept a clean sheet...

@john-richardson My research told me there was a hooligan crew called the Millwall Bushwhackers. Was that who you were thinking of?

I forgot to say that Millwall conceded 7 goals in their first 3 matches of the season, 3 versus Watford and 4 at Bristol City. Since then, they’ve onl...

That was a really poor defeat. We gave the ball away far too often, and were the masters of our own downfall. How many times did we make suicidal pass...

And get Borges off. He’s been beaten out of position against James at least 3 times, one of which led to the goal, and one which nearly did. Ayling on...

It would be very nice if we actually passed the ball to a red shirt occasionally.
