Same result, same score and a very similar performance to the game that saw Mogga depart from the club. The goals even came in the same order with B...

Thanks for a great starter, Bob. Very readable with a good deal of useful information. I'd be disappointed if we started with an unchanged line-up....

By half-time yesterday we looked like a team that had a well-coached way of playing, but were lacking the players, and particularly the strikers , wh...

A promising start with good movement and control, but the now familiar failings soon manifested themselves. No threats on goal, weak strikers and s...

deleriad Yes, true to form we were beaten by two excellent strikes, one from outside the area, whilst our response came from inside the six yard box...

Welcome back Si. Lovely to hear from you again. I hope you are well. You have been greatly missed.

Glad to see much of the game courtesy of Werder. Andy sums it up well in a single sentence. We were dominant, but couldn't make it pay. 21 shots on...

Werder If you have time to pass on a useable stream I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to be eternally grateful. Many thanks

Pedro You are right, but it's not easy to see what could have been done about the Bird volley. It came directly from a corner that was headed out to...

My previous post was written before I had seen deleriad's, with which I entirely agree.

Many thanks for the very generous comments. The corollary to my tentative theory about the type of goals we have scored under Wilder is that the goa...

For me there is a key metric of our improvement and increased creativity under Wilder that I haven't seen commented upon elsewhere. It's the fact th...

I see that Dani Ayala got picked to play for Blackburn tonight, but injured himself during the warm-up and couldn't play. He must have been so looki...

Thanks Allan. Threads was written by my good friend Barry Hines, author of Kestrel for a Knave (fimed as Kes), who sadly passed away three or four ye...

Brilliant Werder. Just a pity that James Cook Hospital didn't see any of that £350 million a week that the club donated to the NHS.

Careful Dormo. The last time I heard about the promise of "sunlit uplands" it was referring to Brexit.

Martin Go man go

Martin I agree about the unprecedented degree of positivity (which I share). But you begin with "Banana skins aside..." That's one hell of a provis...

Thanks Bob. Great start.

Ken "Come on you Sulphurites " is bad enough, but imagine being a supporter of Borussia Monchengladbach: "Give us a B,......"

Jarkko Congratulations to both you and Werder on the landmark posts. Stalwarts both.

Thanks Werder. The link worked fine after some early glitches. Grateful to see such an enjoyable game and another fine Boro performance. Very good ...

As usual I would be pathetically grateful to be rescued from my state of pitiful intellectual ignorance and gross moral turpitude by any hints the bra...

Best wishes, Bob

Excellent intro, Andy. Many thanks.

Swap the keepers and we win 1-4.

A really good game with Boro playing well and deservedly getting an equaliser before half time. We are creating a fair few chances thanks to Crooks,...

First impression: Boro to hold Spurs to a draw. Then to go through on penalties.

Heroes all. Well done lads. Every single penalty a winner.
