Future forum posts planned - one on wide men (different types, how we use them and so on) and "twinned games" (games with similar or identical scoreli...

With regards to Coventry - shades of Bournemouth circa 2014-15 in what now amounts to five goal feasts so far this season. Every time they've won, the...

Looks, to me, like Edwards' favoured formation, the 3-4-2-1 with Fry back at the back and Brittain and Targett as WBs. It makes sense for Sène to be u...

Len,You've inspired me.I too remember Leads' chance at Preston and it's really interesting how my point-of-view has changed, with the benefit of refle...

@exmil You're spot on ExMil, and I do apologise. Browne looks like a very valuable squad member indeed.

Part Two...I'd like to wish Bob both well and a speedy recovery - and to say that I think he shares my thinking about Rob Edwards's level of fan engag...

Tremendous work, Andy.I'll add my own contribution by, firstly, sharing my observations over our style of play and some of our players. Primarily from...

I also mentioned 1997-98, didn't I? The game I had in mind was the 0-0 home draw with Dave Bassett's Forest, who we were battling with for top spot. T...

Optimism was high for me ahead of last night's match. I went out to watch the 2-1 win over West Brom and was thrilled, mainly by our overall performan...

Brilliantly written, Len.What if I told you, and indeed everyone, that the Stoke game inspired me to research reactions to 0-0 draws in previous promo...

Thanks Werder. I too have enjoyed watching Carrickball when it’s in full flow but it sadly seems to have reached the stage where intermittent creati...

@andy-r Thank you for your response Andy.And thanks to everyone else for your responses too.A quick look at the statistics indicates that Carrick's te...

@jarkko It will indeed. Though I’m ready to make a suggestion of “reflective” discussion topics to keep us debating during the summer months. One bein...

I'm back. And this time, hopefully, here to contribute more frequently. (I can only apologise for the long absence.)Been reading what our former boss ...

In brief, on Carrick? I feel that he has refined and cemented an upwardly mobile “voice” for Boro that everyone can buy into. A voice which arguably...

Nicola Coughlan, for example, is doing brilliantly in Bridgerton.

Thanking every single one of you for your responses.May I also highlight where part of my inspiration for writing this piece came from - my favourite ...

@peter-surtees Peter, it was a pleasure. Derry Girls is very much loved in our part of the world. I think I'll go back to what I wrote about it two ye...

Thank you for this Pedro. I popped down here in the aftermath of the defeat to read more insights on the game, and this is a great one - it reminds me...

I love Kes the film, and I consider myself lucky enough to have read the book and studied the play. Knowing that Barry Hines was a good friend of your...

On July 11, when Big Jack died, I wrote... "If you need any more reminders of why even 'legend' isn’t a big enough word in this case, you need only...

I'm looking forward to it Bob!

Hello all, Disappointed, disillusioned, but not devastated. More resigned. The best I can say after a fowl Boro got pecked apart by the Swans aft...
