@philip-of-huddersfield Many thanks for your thoughts, Philip. Much appreciated.
@philip-of-huddersfield Philip - genuine question, since you're our man on the spot, so to speak: how would you rate Sorba Thomas, whom FLW sugges...
It seems that the signing of Ayling is all but a done deal: There's a similar report in the Gazette, which claims that Boro is in "pole position"...
Echo player ratings - Ayling & ELL both given a 9. Includes a link to Dom Shaw's match report: And the Gazette's:
FLW puts the case for not signing Sam Greenwood & going after Sorba Thomas (Huddersfield) instead:
Bangura & Barlaser replaced Thomas & Howson in the 65th minute, O'Brien & Greenwood McCabe & Gilbert in the 71st.
Izzy makes it 3-1 in the 84th minute, assisted (again) by Luke Ayling. Bob'll be happy! π
Hoedt equalised for the Hornets in the 73rd minute (shame no clean sheet for Dieng), but Alex Bangura put Boro back in front five minutes later - CJ: ...
CJ's assessment of the first half: Boro ahead at the break with another goal from Latte Lath. 11 in 12 now for him. Ending the season in fine form. ...
So, ELL rounds off his season with at least one goal, in the 28th minute, assisted by Luke Ayling (his 18th of the season).

The Bluebirds pull one back at the start of injury time.
Ajay Matthews replaces ELL in the 82nd minute.
At least he was wrong for the right reasons. π
Dijksteel & young Charlie Lennon on for RvdB & Gilbert in the 74th minute.
McCabe & Silvera on for Howson & Jones in the 62nd minute. CJ on the Gilbert goal: Boro have another. What a moment and finish from Gilber...
Make that Boro4 - Alex Gilbert with his first for the club in the 60th minute, assisted by Ayling.
And Boro3 turns up courtesy of ELL's 17th of the season (10th in 11 games) in the 56th minute - CJ: Long ball over the top by Azaz. Latte Lath runni...
Azaz adds a second in the 48th minute, assisted by Gilbert - CJ: Boro have another! Barlaser picks up the ball in a wide area in the box. He cuts it...
Matt Clarke, of all people, gives Boro the lead in the dying seconds of the first half, assisted by Azaz - CJ: Boro lead! A strong end to the half ...

Somehow, QPR managed to put four past the Dirties without reply at Loftus Road, but there was an incentive: safety from relegation for Rangers.
Just a pity it was Dirties4! π
