@ken you make a very good point about club loyalty but I do wonder if things have really changed. The media - here and certainly abroad - spend all...
It’s a strange world. I just realised that Phelan is on gardening leave and, in theory, available for MFC because he was kicked out of Man U to be rep...
Fair comment. I like Dana Malt. She talks a lot of sense on Boro Breakdown and Red Alert podcasts. She’s not frightened to point out when things aren’...
@pedro fair enough. Mine was just a guess based on circumstance. utb
Wow, there’s a lot of negativity on the blog towards anything that happens at the club. I don’t agree with everything that they do but always expectin...
Seems logical to me especially for a game in which we are likely to have plenty of possession. I’d like to see a midfield diamond with Howson at the...
It didn’t hurt us. McNair is a very solid squad player who can do a job in several positions but he isn’t special enough to make a difference.
We've all been saying that a switch to 4 at the back would release players to go forward. They lined up that way although having Giles at left back is...
@original fat bob excellent summary of where we stand. The second half against Blackburn did give me a glimmer of hope because we ended up dominat...
@pedro yes, it was a back four with McNair moved up into midfield
Strange game. For half an hour, Blackburn were in total control and it was only Steffen that kept us alive with three point black saves including one ...
@ken i just saw your note and wish you the very best of luck with the new treatment. I’m counting on you to celebrate Boro’s climb up the table with...
…next to the rose-tinted glasses
The first half was disappointing but rather in the “why did we again have to be the victims of some lousy luck but we’re playing OK” manner as opposed...
@original-fat-bob I have nothing against Rob Edwards despite the manner of his departure from Forest Green to take the Watford job. He seems to be ...
I didn't find the game as bad as people are saying and I thought that Birmingham looked quite good in possession and gave Boro some problems. We had g...
It wouldn't let me in for five or so minutes but then accepted my log in and gave me access to the stream.
@john-richardson welcome back. Let’s hope for a good win to make everyone feel better. I totally agree about a smart young manager who will buy int...
Do we know how many of the new back room staff - goalkeeping coach, fitness etc - are staying?
Wow. Clearly there was bad blood building up. Before the sacking, I was going to suggest a rest for Crooks and Mowatt and a midfield of Howson, Luon...
@jarkko quite right. I just hope that it’s red against Millwall as well
I honestly believe that playing in that anaemic white kit contributed to our pathetic performance. Boro play in red and should take the opportunity to...
I know that everyone on here appreciates good analysis and so I must draw everyone's attention to the Boro Breakdown Podcast. The three presenters are...
I posted this on the Wilder blog but thought that I would drop it in here as well. ”Well, things haven't gone very well so far, have they? Apart f...
Well, things haven't gone very well so far, have they? Apart from perhaps our resident Cassandras, this is a source of something between disappointm...
Well, that was worth getting up for (5am kickoff!) but we do make it hard for ourselves. If we are going to go on a good run we will have to start t...
@original-fat-bob surely there are free agents on the list worth considering on a short term deal. I suppose the main problem would be fitness level...
@john-richardson Best wishes for a successful op.
@werdermouth I think your final statement is the key. Essentially MFC is being personally supported by SG through a structure that will certainly b...
@jarkko Regarding lack of cover in midfield, I would suggest that McGree is also viewed as a potential midfielder - perhaps even in a moment of nee...
