You’re too kind, Len! Either that, or deluded!!

Hear, hear. Many thanks Werder. You’re a star!

@werdermouth Hi werder. Is there a way I can spot who is liking / disliking my posts? Now it says so-and-so has reacted. I can’t imagine anyone ...

Ken, Martin Please let us not get personal, gentlemen. This blog has always been about playing the ball, not the man. For my part, as an ardent r...

I’m still spitting feathers this morning. In 56 years of supporting Boro I had never before seen such inept defending as we delivered in the first hal...

I’d love to meet up at some time. Please keep us informed as arrangements progress. If I can get there, I will.

I agree with most of that, OFB, but I think perhaps you are a bit harsh with your overview. I really enjoyed the game and the fabulous atmosphere. I t...

Best of luck for Tuesday, John. Really sorry you’re having to go through this. Let’s hope Boro give you a fillip before your op. Once again many th...

Plato I agree about Coburn. Letting him go is criminal, in my view. I’m very cross about it. We’ve paid good money for two ‘development’ strikers in...

I’ve just checked out Sam Surridge’s stats. Unless I’m reading the grid wrongly, it appears he has scored 33 goals in 57 appearances with variou...

Werder Replays showed that Bayo was a couple of yards onside. Wilder and his team must sort the defence out. Twelve goals against in 7 games is ...

Thanks again, OFB. I was grateful for your reflections on Spike. He was one of my favourite players of that golden era, and his performances rarely di...

It’s a very good point, John. I’ve made my feelings known previously on this blog about Boro’s striker recruitment strategy, and how I think it’s flaw...

Another desperately disappointing defeat. It seems, after the brilliant Stoke performance, that not only are we inconsistent within games, but also be...

Hear, hear! if we play even nearly as well as we did against Stoke, then we will surely have too much for Reading. Their defence is not exactly wate...

Thanks OFB. That puts an end to that piece of speculation. I do now worry what the EG will do for story-lines, especially if Boro pull out of f...

The only thing to say is AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!! Boro played absolutely superbly for much of the game, totally dominating and making Stoke...

It was a really good game in a buzzing atmosphere. I thought a draw was a fair result overall. The Blades are a very strong side and will surely be pu...

My apologies, mates. Lumley only gifted Rotherham two goals, not 3 (though he was also beaten at his near post for a third). One effort I thought was ...

Another great opener, Andy, and a superb post from Len. Both were really thoughtful and balanced as we have come to expect. Thank you, both. I’...

Yes, Pedro, I do! I said as much on the QPR thread in my rant about our striker recruitment strategy. Today, CW has said that Hoppe is a development s...

Well, I did warn them …….. Sunderland and Hartlepool made it a terrible North-East trio of defeats, but our loss is bitterly disappointing.

A word of caution pre-Barnsley: 11 Championship sides were knocked out of the Carabao tonight, only two of them in all-Championship ties! Nine went ou...

Loved your opener, OFB! Reading all the possible team permutations Diasborans have written above makes it abundantly clear how thinly the squad...

Plato Was your reply to me? If it was, I think you’ve overstated my case. I’m very concerned that Boro’s recruitment has been poor - Giles and perha...

Thanks for this, Ken. I wasn’t aware of those statistics. You make some valid points. One concern I had when Wilder was appointed was his recent recor...

I’ve no idea what to expect tomorrow, but agree that now might be a good time to play QPR as they seek to bed in a new manager and players. I wouldn’t...

I must say I’m very disappointed indeed about the Tav situation. I do understand that the Bournemouth offer must be a very good one, certainly good en...

I agree with Powmill. This is a difficult season to predict. I also agree about Norwich - it will surely take them some time to adjust to the rigours ...

Many thanks OFB for your brilliant and highly detailed opener. I’ve missed them! I think we’ll win on Saturday. We’re probably going to need go...
