Thanks to everyone on this splendid blog for making it required daily reading for me throughout the year A special thanks to all of the leader write...
A really lovely festive opener powmill. I loved it
Thanks Bob. An opener that was both entertaining and very informative. Many seem to think that West Brom are nailed on for the 5th spot with a large...
I don't know whether big Uche will get a run out tonight, but if he does he'll be smacking his lips at the prospect of playing against our two young c...
Thanks Bob. Great opener and very enjoyable
@forever-dormo The glass half-full reason why Hull were so ineffective was down to our dominance ,particularly in the first half. As I said, we pla...
I agree with Michael Carrick. I thought we played well against Hull. To call this a minority view would amount to self-flattery. As far as I an aw...
Diolch yn fawr Powmill for a very well written and researched piece which provided everything one might need to contextualise Saturday's game.
@jarkko You might try a large dollop of Philogene for your back. Hope it's better soon
No disrespect intended, but Philogene does sound like something you might rub onto a dodgy knee. Thanks Dormo for a typically well-informed and ente...
Very enjoyable piece, deleriad, with an astute follow up on the similarities between Ipswich's and our own set-up last season. We do know something,...
@clive-hurren Belated thanks for your splendid opener, Clive. Very well written in your individual tone of voice, and with very interesting content...
Great read and an original and imaginative approach, Martin. There is a lot there. Thanks too to Dave who seems a very good man and a good friend to h...
I may as well use my match preview earlier this week as today's post-mortem: "We were by far the better team last season but threw away the three po...
@forever-dormo Sorry, Dormo, but in what sense is 1-3 a lazy prediction? I've spent the best part of a week calculating and assessing that s...
Thanks Andy for a very interesting and informative piece. We were by far the better team last season but threw away the three points with some woefu...
Great news, Dormo, and a proper week-end tonic whatever the Boro's result.
Selwyn, Just to echo everyone else's response that you have produced a superb leader. Well organised, very thorough and with enough detail to keep u...
Greenwood had another good game yesterday and his emergence has been an unexpected bonus of McGree's unfortunate absence. He was certainly a M-o-M c...
A thrilling, skilful and entertaining game with Plymouth playing well in the first half, scoring two well worked goals, and going in 2-1 in front, pe...
I recall that 1954 game, the first ever against Plymouth as mentioned by Powmill. It was memorable for two reasons. It was Boro's first game in the ...

What a great opener, Powmill. The combination of thorough research and readable, entertaining style is difficult to pull off, but you achieved it br...
Agree with Selwyn and KP's assessments.
Really first-class opener, Bob, and very informative. Really enjoyed it.
Boro had no answer to Alex Neil's game plan to press high, counter-attack at pace and create overlaps against our full-backs. The half-time lead could...
So sorry to hear your sad news, Jarkko
@mw-in-darwin and selwynoz Thanks for the updates and corrections. The goalkeeping situation does look a concern
@malcolm Not sure whether Carrick is expressing his own views above or telling us what the club's policy will be regarding any free agent, or other...
Typically excellent opener, Andy, with a very shrewd assessment of the Norwich game. Stoke appeared to be one of the easiest games in our current ru...
