@original-fat-bob. I suspect that O’Brien will have licence to get forward whilst RVB will play more of the Smith type defensive role. 😎

@andy-r. Lefties on the left and righties on the right👍🏻. More changes don’t bode well including a lack of pace. 😎

If O’Brien is played at left back then this has to be seen as a recruitment failure give we bought two left backs (accepted one is injured) renewed a ...

@original-fat-bob. For me Ken was a highly regarded member of the Diasboro family with an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Boro. His contribut...

@original-fat-bob. Definitely, one of the best leaders/Captains we have had in recent years. I think the current crop are all too nice because they...

I forgot to mention in an earlier post that Tuesday clearly demonstrated our need for a vociferous and strong player on the field to take charge when ...

@philip-of-huddersfield. Boro play Cardiff at the Riverside that evening. It would be nice if MFC or Radio Tees could pay a tribute to Ken either...

@andy-r. “It's funny that he said he now has options to play in different ways, yet despite it not working, he's stuck to his formula even after the i...

@andy-r. It is an option but one that causes me some concerns. Jones has to start but I am not comfortable with his defensive responsibilities, his...

I see the EG are now carrying this story! 😎

Just picked this up from the MFC website: ”Boro v Southampton This fixture has been chosen for International broadcast. Video streaming will only b...

@selwynoz. I agree about McGree. If I were he, I would be pretty p****d off that a team mate, who by all accounts he helped to persuade to move to ...

Pundits outside the club beginning to question MC’s credentials. 😎

@selwynoz. Part of me thinks that MC has been appointed long term and that last year was an overachievement against the plan. If you want the suppo...

@boro-beckys-dad. “ I will cogitate on what I think will be the team selection over the next few days and consult with my tarot cards along with a ra...

An excellent starter Selwynoz which clearly shows how far apart the two clubs are financially after Soton have had a substantial period in the PL and ...

McGree off but Sivera still on! Shakes head in disbelief. 😎

Dear o dear o dear! Two poor teams fully justifying their league positions. Total lack of quality in the final third with the likes of Silvera an...

I hope I am wrong but this feels a bit like swapping chairs on the Titanic, especially if we keep playing as we have been doing. 😎

@philip-of-huddersfield. So sorry to hear about Ken. Thank you for updating us and condolences to you. Ken was a big part of our wider family and ...

@jarkko. It is partially down to the fixture list allocation. The first part of the season we play on a Tuesday whilst in the second half we play on...

@philip-of-huddersfield. Thank you for the update on Ken. Glad to hear that he is being cared for. Please pass on best wishes and hopefully he migh...

@andy-r. I agree that Howson is better sitting in front of the back four as he is a good reader of the game and has the skills to tackle effectively ...

Thanks Powmill for a well researched starter and a very enjoyable and amusing read. Unfortunately, past performance is no guarantee of future return...

@original-fat-bob. Me too but I am not expecting a repeat tomorrow! 😎

@gt. All goals are stoppable particularly if the team defends properly, which currently they are not doing; in my view Dieng was not at fault for eit...

I have to disagree about Dieng, he made at least four crucial saves yesterday, had he not done so the score could have been much worse; these were in ...

@john-richardson. Enjoy your cliff walk John, just don’t jump off when you find out the result! 😂😎

@andy-r. Thanks Andy, another excellent post. 😎

@deleriad. Thanks Deleriad for an excellent incisive post. It was an enjoyable read if somewhat scary given the potential consequences if MC cannot g...
