Yesterday’s result was no surprise as Ipswich are having a brilliantly season following their promotion. Usually promoted teams start well and then dr...

@mw-in-darwin CROOKS , No problem, he can do it easy ! He picks up too many bookings through reckless/ lunging tackles but does his size go agai...

There’s hardly a few days go by without some article saying Boro are likely to sign Sam Greewood and reminding us of Boro’s buy agreement. Is he wor...

@werdermouth Just rubbish defending. For the first goal , 2 defenders allowed the smallest player on the pitch to score with a header and for the...

However you look at it Mowbray has done well at Sunderland with no money to spend and the youngest team in the League. Finishing as high as they did i...

So 2-3 wasn’t too bad given Boro were down to 10 men although listening to the commentary the score flattered Boro. Boro couldn’t hold the Leeds’ wi...

This could be embarrassing, losing 1-3. And with Clarke on for McNair having played only 7 minutes in the last 12 months. Boro just can’t get out of t...

Listening to commentary on radio Leeds. After 15 minutes it should be 4-3 to Leeds. Very open game and the Leeds commentator is quite critical of Boro...

Would we take the draw now with so many players out through injury?Obviously Clarke is not worth risking starting. Philip of Huddersfield

Listening to MC ‘s press conference it’s clear that Forsse is quite a number of weeks away from fitness and McGree is much further away - although he ...

From time to time many of us express our opinion of MC. He started incredibly well and we were all saying how good he was. Then towards the end of the...

Being ahead on 2 occasions only to be pulled back is disappointing. Not to see the game out when winning 3-2 perhaps shows a lack of experience. But ...

Excellent draw. I favour playing away as Boro have won all the previous away games in this competition against lower opposition ( I include Huddersfie...

I’m sure last night’s win creates a good feeling for all Boro fans. As to the next game there’s pros and cons about whoever we are drawn against. Pa...

I feel the happiest for the 1,000+ Boro supporters . Goodness knows when they’ll get home but at least they’ll be on a high having watched an enjoyab...

Exeter lost 6 consecutive games before their home draw last Saturday. indeed, they have only won 1 game in the last 10 - against Luton in the last r...

I am expecting a victory on Tuesday v Exeter who are on a bad run and are struggling to score. They managed a draw at home on Saturday after a bad ru...

The large number of injuries are making me a bit apprehensive for todays game. Of the injured players O’Brien, McGree and Smith would be starting plus...

@martin-bellamy thanks Martin , a good read as a Karanka fan

Here in Cyprus we’re 2 hours ahead of the UK. No red button to watch the game so went to bed at 11.45 when it was half time and 0-0. I was happy with ...

@original-fat-bob if my memory serves me right I think he made hid debut as an eighteen year old having to get time off school. He certainly playe...

Why is it so enjoyable to win by scoring a goal in the last few minutes. Perhaps it’s the fact that even if you are on top of the game there’s always ...

@clive-hurren hi, I don’t know the contact details of Trevor, ( Ken’s brother) They weren’t in communication. I understand that the estate is ...

Despite my forecast that Sunderland would win I was quietly thinking that “ I’d really love it “ if Boro could prove me wrong . Unlike Kevin Keegan w...

This is Boro’s biggest test now they have got their season up and running. I see the main danger to Boro being the threat of their tricky wingers w...

First half not good - by both teams. Boro better in the second half and got better as the game progressed. Deserved to win. Bit unlucky not to scor...

Hi all, I went to Ken’s funeral today. When you get to 85 many of your friends and neighbours will no longer be with us / or be unable to travel. ...

@jarkko Yes, I’m going to Ken’s funeral on Tuesday and so I’ll do a short note on how it went etc. Philip of Huddersfield

In many ways the perfect result going 2-0 up , being pegged back at 2-2 but whereas earlier this season they may have lost the game they came back and...

Exeter away - winnable. But long journey for the team and fans. Philip of Huddersfield
