Some very astute comments from @Forever Dormo. I am actually in favour of retaining possession whenever possible but there has to be a recognition o...

I couldn't agree more although I am less concerned about the 'moneyball' direction. We have made a lot of money by selling Spence, Tavernier, Akpom, ...

@original-fat-bob I was trying to show that the number of points needed was not an enormous obstacle and there are now so many teams involved in th...

@martin-bellamy I would always pick a draw because then the aggregate gain for the two teams is only two points which has to be better than someone...

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I must admit that I was deliberately setting the bar high knowing that the top four clubs could well take ...

The defence did not play badly. There is a knee-jerk reaction to always blame the defence - the back four - when we concede goals and, on the face o...

@original-fat-bob I hope that your source is wrong but we do have a ready made replacement in Whittaker. UTB

@werdermouth Loan deals without an obligation to buy can be useful to fill a gap when we are not prepared to shell out the money for a permanent de...

it strikes me that we have two options in replacing Latte Lath. One is to stick with our longer term plan and go for an up and coming forward that we ...

@werdermouth You may well be right. I didn't know that these lists were available. Personally, I'd be surprised if we let him go on loan because w...

'saving' not 'sizing'

@werdermouth any sizing could be worthwhile if it helps us pay new people.

@werdermouth Apparently, he's on a very high salary

@paulinboro everyone at MFC is saying that these two are not linked. Long term, Whittaker is a replacement for Doak and Steve Gibson is covering th...

I agree that this year he might play in a three with Azaz and Doak but he would be the long term replacement for Doak at the end of this season.

@werdermouth We should probably view Whittaker as a long-term Doak replacement. He’s 24 and can only get better over the next couple of years. I re...

Quite a lot of action and I'm impressed by most of the steps being taken by the recruitment team JONES Hasn't really delivered since hi...

and sell Barlaser.

@pedro I think that I would prefer Kamara. utb

@mw-in-darwin I'd rather watch Boro as they try to play attacking football. I'm enjoying the way that we try to move the ball forward, to counter-a...

@forever-dormo thank you for such an admirable contribution to the debate. I find it hard to argue with anything that you say. Sadly, the ability...

Given the injury situation, will we get the chance to see one or two of these much-vaunted academy players getting a go in the first team. We seem to ...

When I woke up this morning, I read the amazing intro to the Burnley game and quickly penned my note. I then went back and had a quick catch up on t...

@FDormo congratulations on an instant classic. That was a wonderful intro and the only possible downside was the introduction of anything to do with...

It’s hard to know where to begin. It was always obvious that Wednesday were going to come out fired up and so the logical response was to play safety ...

Happy holidays to everyone nd your families. Best wishes for a healthy and safe new year and may we have a lot of enjoyment following the Boro togethe...

@jarkko Well done. That’s an amazing intro. I’d love to visit Finland but it always seems to have been the ‘maybe next year’. What time of year ...

I agree. Dijksteel was excellent but we couldn't cope with the way that Argyle flooded players forward. They had six or seven people in front of the m...

I for one am looking forward to seeing Morris back dancing past the opposition. utb
