@jarkko Sorry about the language in my first piece. I was aware as I wrote it that you might struggle, even with your brilliant command of English,...

So, Mark Robins’ moan at the weekend that he’d have to patch up his squad for Boro in the light of so many injuries might actually be accurate, accord...

Some of you, I suppose, may feel a little short-changed that no analysis of our opponents appears in my fable, so here it is! Stoke City’s reputati...

Your opener is excellent, Chris! It’s beautifully written. I think you’re having us on - you’re actually a seasoned scribe in disguise, aren’t you?! ...

This is the table I should have included. Pretty incredible, I’m sure you’ll agree? Of course, what it doesn’t say is what happened at the other end o...

Oh sorry. My cut and paste has omitted the vital table, even though it originally appeared. I’ll try to summarise it.

The Beeb’s running blog on the Carrick appointment has just given us this gem: Carrick’s Boro blueprintpublished at 12:55 GMT 12:55 GMT Chri...

Fabulous work, Powmill. Thank you. I’m comfortably mid-table at present, which is a little better than where I predicted Boro to finish! I am delig...

Thanks for a super starter, Andy. I feel much more informed about our opponents than I did previously. This game is a distraction, undoubtedly, but ...

@ofb Re Hutton Road: I got John O‘Rourke‘s autograph there one day. I’ve lost the scrap of paper, sadly. It would have been worth thousands today &#...

Another excellent opener, Len. As ever it is beautifully written and full of accurate, detailed and informative analysis. Thank you. Tomorrow we si...

@malcolm I agree with that. That’s where Tommy should be for most of his time on the pitch. But I would just point out that one H Kane frequently d...

@werdermouth Good shout. Do you think Norwich would be prepared to release him, given they’re in a bit of danger near the foot of the table? And co...

@malcolm To his credit KH did change his system today, which got more players forward and in the box. We created some good chances, for a change. T...

Heaven knows where we go from here. The transfer window is open, but we all know how difficult it is to find strikers and creative players of quality ...

So, that’s 3 losses in 4 games without a single goal scored. I’m afraid several of these players are just not good enough. And why replace Sène with G...

I agree with all of that. It has, however, been encouraging that we are managing to get more players in the box today.

@exmil Thanks. I did realise that, but I’m thinking about what the squad might look like at the end of the window.

I’ve just seen this on the BBC website, in which local correspondents outline what each team in the Champo needs in the transfer window. I hope ...

@lenmasterman RIP Gordon Jones. One of the best. Very sad.

@exmil So that probably means we’ll need to get in a keeper in the window, if it’s true. That’s one more place to find in the 25. I’ve checked Boro...

I’ll echo Len’s and Martin’s words, Werder. That’s a very impressive and entertaining intro, and especially when you had so little time in which to pr...

Three games without a goal now and, from what I heard on Tees, few real chances created. The conundrum we now face is how to create more with the squa...

Has anybody got live Sky coverage? There doesn’t seem to be any.

I enjoyed your little ditty, Powmill! The sheer variety of openers on here is amazing. What a talented bunch you all are! Btw, did you know that Good ...

@pedro I must say I’m puzzled as to why Hansen has not yet started nor come on as a sub under KH, after that positive cameo he had against Derby. ...

@forever-dormo St Emulsion, Dormo? 🤭 I know St Emilion is so richly dense that you could paint the walls with it, but I hope the French hav...

@martin-bellamy Unbelievable starter! Love it, love it, love it!! And I would love it, love it, love it if we turned Rovers over on Boxing Day. Boy...
