That was a very good performance. We didn't fluke a win. We attacked well and defended solidly. Lots of good players but Coburn was a standout and McG...
Could even be three at the back with Jones and O'Brien as wingbacks and Howson a holding midfield player. UTB
@Andy R really Interesting team selection. I think that a strong left sided central defender will make a big difference in a back three and I was ha...
We've seen Carrick's upside. I'd hate to see us get rid of him too quickly to then see him succeed with a stronger team. I'd like to see him given a r...
@werdermouth guilty as charged in that I qualified as a chartered accountant in 1978 but haven't actually worked as one since around 1984. Still, o...
@forever-dormo You very much sum up the way that I feel. The club has to fight its way out of this mess with Michael Carrick and slowly build up th...
Great opener @Powmill-Naemore. The Blackburn game could have ended up with any score from the 2-1 that actually happened up to about 5 goals for eit...
@jarkko The game was played on Sunday US time in Arlington Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. That means that the trip back wasn't too bad. I don't...
@deleriad A very clear summary of where we stand although I do hope that the club (management and ownership) are more committed to the long haul. Ot...
A great supporter of the club but not much about future plans. I wonder how long he will stay on as Chairman and what will be his exit strategy. UTB
@martin-bellamy I may well have been at Linthorpe at the same time. I did the whole of primary - from about 1959 - but left in the summer of 63 befo...
@jarkko the England u17 team is taking part in a in a tournament in Spain. Morocco is just one of the teams utb
I hope Chelsea weren't watching .......... England men’s under-17s had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Morocco in their second game of the Pinatar Are...
The return of Clarke could be quite significant as it gives us a genuine left sided central defender in a four or a strong left sided defender in a ba...
@werdermouth Thanks for your upbeat note. With regard to MFC, I am drawn towards an optimistic view because I find that anticipating the worst does...
@pedro I'd say that Coburn is the nearest that we have but there does look to be a lot of talent that will come through over the next two to three ...
Just to add a further piece to the puzzle, BORO U21s went to Liverpool yesterday and thrashed them 4-1. The highlights are on MFC.co.uk and they are p...
The only players who looked really switched on going forward were Coburn, Greenwood, O'Brien, Jones and McGree. Coburn in particular has turned into a...
I think that it has been one of the most interesting windows for many years. A dozen or so acquisitions who split into three groups 1. A quality sen...
@pedro I must take issue with you on Dieng. I think that he is excellent with the ball at his feet. Other than that, you've missed out Greenwood ...
....and here we are looking at a player from another Championship side. Greenwood sounds like a good prospect but it is the clearest possible statemen...
My money on SALFORD v BURNLEY and NEWCASTLE v MAN CITY Happy for us to win in obscurity. UTB
Am I the only one who finds it a bit strange that we should be looking to solve our goalscoring problems by taking a player from Everton - the one EPL...
as has been pointed out, the actual issue is 16yo Finn Cartwright but it does reinforce that we have a load of good kids but aren’t really prepared to...
Very few positives to take out of the West Brom game. All that I can really suggest are 1. ELL looks to be a quality finisher who will score goals p...
@werdermouth Why do people choose not to accept that Carrick and the management team are simply pursuing a path that they believe will turn Coburn ...
Based on the reported Boro interest in Isaac Hayden (28) and Glen Kamara (27) I find it interesting that, rather then becoming hostage to more young l...
The more I see the transfer fees being demanded for our ex-loan players the more I am encouraging by the ability of the transfer group to identify and...
Certainly true and it's gratifying to read the material put out by the MFC Academy and the work that they seem to do in teaching the teenage players ...
