My concern about last night is that Coventry may have shown other sides how to counter Boro, as some of you have hinted: press every man, allow the mi...
@pedro I love that video! Many thanks. It seems to me a brilliant analysis of how we play so intricately and fluidly. I just hope Lampard hasn’t...
And huge congratulations are due to Kim Hellberg and Alan Browne for winning Manager and Player of the Month respectively. Both awards are thoroughly ...
I’d like to echo everyone’s views on your fine starter, Andy. As ever, it hits the nail bang on the head! How right you are that these are great times...
@powmillnaemore Agreed! Some of the football we played last night was simply breathtaking, slick, one-touch and very quick. I have to pinch myself ...
I still haven’t come down off the cloud nine that is floating around our living room, but which could be miles high in the sky for all I care. I’m ...
That’s a very clever, entertaining and informative starter, FD. Thank you. I think Monday’s is one of our toughest games for a while, given the Bla...
@k-p-in-spain I’d take that for definite!
@stircrazy Wildsmith. OMG! What have we done? Surely Seny Dieng must be better than him on this evidence?
@stircrazy Grrr indeed! If I had the power, my response to these scavengers would end in OFF, but we know football doesn’t work like that. Let’...
@lenmasterman Hear, hear! I agree with everything you’ve said about the teaching of English. What Gove imposed on our schools was absolutely inexcu...
@forever-dormo I always use ‘Boro are winning and our play has been fantastic,’ thus ensuring I don’t mix singular and plural. But how about the...
@boro-beckys-dad Don’t worry, BBD! Your contributions on here are perfectly fine and always welcome!
Well, that’s it. The window is closed, at last. Our best bit of business by far was keeping Hackney, followed by keeping Targett. I won’t lose any sle...
@werdermouth Wildsmith done deal. Loan till the end of the season. This frees up Dieng to move to Feyenoord.
Many thanks for a really informative opener, Jarkko. You say you made the odd mistake - not that I noticed any - but your ability to use a language ot...
Great defeat for Coventry. Now we have to beat Norwich on Saturday to take advantage.
You’ve all written eloquently about Boro’s superb performance today, so I won’t add much. I absolutely loved the fluidity and pace with which we playe...
I loved your starter, Martin. Both your Famous Five ripping yarn and Dave’s contribution are outstanding. Quite brilliant. As we know, PNE is always...
Well, I broke my duck (twice) last night at Stoke - the first time I’d seen us win there, and I think the first time I’d seen us beat a Mark Robins si...
@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 ...
