I would definitely consider Rob Edwards, as a young, forward-thinking manager. He did a fabulous job at Forest Green and was unlucky to be given the p...

Breaking- Wilder sacked! Wasn’t expecting that!

Plato On a previous thread I asked who you would want to see managing Boro. So who is this star with great ambition? And if he has great ambition, w...

I thought Wilder had seriously lost the plot when I saw his team selection yesterday. Now, following his comments to the media I’m starting to think h...

Dormo Just a point of correction. It was Hants who needed to score 138 to win, not Warwickshire. I agree with everything you’ve said. Yorkshire h...

My bet is Warwickshire will seek to pile on runs very quickly on the last day to try to force a win. But against a very strong Hampshire side, they’re...

Ken Philately will get you nowhere!

Btw, OFB That last post of mine is not meant as a criticism of you in any way. I’m just gobsmacked that your sources could have hinted at such attit...

@pedro and OFB I agree, Pedro. I can quite understand any cost-cutting. Boro made substantial losses during the Covid closure, and like most other ...

@original-fat-bob Indeed. And this is the same Steve Morison who led his side to a 3-2 away win earlier this week at much-fancied Middlesbrough, an...

So, it’s bottom 3 for the next couple of weeks. Ignominious. Going back to Selwynoz’s recent post about expectations, my view is that Boro should alwa...

Selwynoz A brilliant and thought-provoking post! I think that should really prompt some good debate on here. I’ll have a think and will perhaps resp...

Plato. I’d be very interested to know whom you’d want to appoint as Boro manager if we were to sack CW. You seem to be calling him a ‘time-expired m...

An excellent, insightful starter, Andy. Many thanks. I guess Saturday’s result will depend on which Boro turns up, or perhaps for how long the most...

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...
