@k-p-in-spain Thanks for your thoughts

I agree with @presidentjump. I thought that it was a good game, particularly in the second half. Southampton were solid and I can see them climbing th...

I think that we'd all like to see him get stuck in a bit more. He seems to be staying very much on the periphery of games as if he doesn't have enough...

I just watched the first half highlights and most of the second half of Ipswich v Sheffield United and am still shaking my head at the final result. ...

@mw-in-darwin that’s a fairly amazing statistic.

the goal he scored was an absolute beauty. Strelec, Sene and Conway could be quite a front three. UTB

The numbers are ridiculous but people tend to ignore the fact that much of the money is going round and round in a closed circle. If Liverpool pay Pds...

Ah! I’d missed that piece of news about Dieng. UTB

@werdermouth I wonder what game was being played between the backup goalkeepers. If they were going to release Glover on a free and replace him wit...

I'm not sure that this window represents a total change in direction from recent windows. In recent years we have tried a broad range of acquisition t...

Just a few thoughts as I dwell on the excellent start to the season - pity there’s no game next week as we’re all looking forward to forward to games ...

@powmillnaemore Alternatively, one could say that there is a risk that we stop beating the odds and, therefore, score less goals. A better soluti...

Talking of Azaz, my major gripe with him is the lack of help that he gave to the defence when we were out of possession. When we played with four at t...

@presidentjump welcome aboard from Sydney. I left Middlesbrough in my mid-teens for London and like many on this blog have followed Boro from variou...

Not only 3 out of 3, two of them are away games and two of the hardest away games that there are. It's dreamland at the moment.

I dropped a note about change of system on the very end of Millwall thread because I was interested to get thoughts from the brains trust. However, pe...

@original-fat-bob He’s 23 and this looks like another clever piece of business with an eye to the future. Apparently he’s a really big guy but grea...

We may be overlooking the obvious change which turns Carrickball into Edwards (and others) ball. Playing a back three gives much more solidity in th...

@mw-in-darwin he was warming up to come on and gave a bit of verbal stick to the Millwall faithful and also pointed out that we had scored two with...

Is it just me straining for optimistic notes or is the bench starting to look a bit stronger. UTB

@pedro Presumably he can play as a reverse or complement to Whittaker who is left footed. UTB.

Yes. Kick-off at 4.30am here in Sydney. I might not quite make that but it's on-demand which is better than Riverside Live. UTB

a slightly more upbeat report from The Guardian. I remain hopeful even optimistic. Winning 1-0 as a new manager and new system beds in is not the e...

@exmil I think my 17 is a touch optimistic and I'll trim it to 15. UTB

Dear Powmill In a flurry of optimism, can you change my Boro prediction to 8th. I do also wonder whether it would be worth setting the closing date ...

Great start OFB. A concise summary of where we stand although I do hope that some of your write-offs could still turn out to be worth keeping. One p...

@pedro You have missed out on a piece of the argument. It is quite likely that those who have sent in their guesses would have been much more negat...

Absolutely agree. I look forward to them getting a chance to work with the first team squad and getting chances to play. UTB

Here are my selections from a land down under. TOP 6 = IPSWICH, SOUTHAMPTON, SHEFF. UTD, LEICESTER CITY, BIRMINGHAM, NORWICH BOTTOM 3 = SHEFF WED...
