RE: Match Report: Boro 0 - 1 Norwich

I think we were a little bit found out today. Warnock has been playing with defensive wingers and it almost worked again but for a couple of banana sk...

The second half was the best I've seen us play as an attacking team since Woodgate's golden month. I thought the link up play between Bola and Coulson...

Great report as ever from RR. The strengths of the team continue to grow. Fry, McNair and Dijksteel have formed a real understanding. Howson, Morsy...

This a really good point. We have proved that we can go head to head with most of the best in the division but can we take a game to a weaker team and...

A couple of thoughts. With the exception of Bielsa and, briefly, Karanka, no manager has trusted Bamford. Until the weekend, the majority of Leeds fan...

RE: Bristol City v Boro

I think we'll see a fairly compact 4-3-3 with Roberts not deemed ready to start yet. Bettinelli Dijksteel - Fry - McNair - Bola Howson - Morsy -...

Thanks for the report. I thought Fry, Dijksteel and McNair were excellent with Fry possibly having his best game in about 18 months. There was an i...

RE: Boro v Barnsley

Damn, I should have predicted lottery numbers rather than a 4-3-3 formation.

RE: Boro v Barnsley

I wonder if NW has gone for Roberts in order to play 4-3-3 rather than a bagging a 4th striker to keep with 2 up front. We still don't have a left bac...

Pros, I was impressed with Morsy. Tav looked a lot happier out wide. Fry did well. He struggles on the left of a three but he did really well in the c...

Feels like a slightly shambolic 2-2 with us going behind twice but, really, I have absolutely no idea. Teamwise, unless anything is going on behind ...

That's a fair report. On the positive side it was an energetic reasonably well-organised performance. Bournemouth were poor but that was partly becaus...

RE: EFL Cup: Boro v Barnsley

As far as I can tell we don't have the right players to play *any* tactic. Can't play 4 at the back because we don't have orthodox full backs, can't p...

That was miserable. I can only assume that Warnock was using it as a training exercise.

That's fair enough and we do have a track record of ruining goal-scoring midfielders. We certainly haven't had a reliable left back since Saville join...
