@allan-in-bahrain Not sure we have the players to go back to basics, the club are just one defensive injury and a mishap with Howson to being in cri...

Can't see Steve Gibson getting rid of Neil Warnock just yet - after all if Boro would have held on to their lead they would have been just a point awa...

@philip-of-huddersfield How did you guess what Neil Warnock would say? Here's his post-match view... "It's disappointing. I thought we played some...

@original-fat-bob The ref's probably just thankful he's not the fourth official getting his ear permanently damaged!

The difference between the sides was Blackpool knew how they were supposed to play as a team, whereas Boro looked like a collection of players trying ...

Before the game there was a lot of talk about breakfast - as it happens it ended up being something of a dog's breakfast tactically with too many play...

Surprised to see an unchanged team - will probably need some hour-mark subs given a few starters won't have played two games in a week for quite a few...

btw Andy, hopefully she didn't misunderstand when you asked if she wanted see Blackpool - if she's waiting with a bucket and spade it could be a diffi...

@andy-r Hope she gets a game to remember and comes back for more! btw I've already had two breakfasts this morning (coffee and toast at 7:30 then ...

I read a bit of a bizarre story this morning as to why several players were not at their best last Saturday - it turns out that Inspector Warnock thin...

Thanks for the positive preview OFB and illuminating us on the visit of Blackpool. I'm sure most people will be anticipating a win on Saturday as Boro...

If you think the Gazette were marking high then take a look at how Scott Wilson in the Echo rated Peltier and Crooks as he unsurprisingly concurred wi...

No doubt along with others, I had the same view of Peltier as you had - I worry that Warnock only sees what he wants to see and for some reason failed...

Mission accomplished, three points against the bottom club who actually looked like it - no confidence in front of goal and even less in their own box...

Sporar looked the real deal in that first half - he actually looks and plays like a goalscorer and he's also a talker and looks to be that so-called l...

@redcarred Looking at the team I suspect anything could happen this evening - Siliki, Henandez and Sporar look good on the ball and we also know Cro...

OK it looks like it may have been a Gavin Williamson-type moment with regard to Bola - but Jones has been dropped to the bench with what looks like a ...

Team news...

@philip-of-huddersfield I admire your optimism with your 0-0 prediction - that is Boro will keep a clean sheet! I'm going to predict that the game...

So the injury update on Ameobi from Warnock is that it's actually his good knee that's currently swelling up with fluid and giving him problems and no...

Reading Warnock's injury updates it sounds like Bola, McNair and Payero could be fit to play tomorrow - he was a bit vague on how serious their injuri...

@deleriad It's certainly difficult finding a Warnock-type team out of what we've got - I'd agree trying to outscore the opposition is not something ...

With the new signings, I could see a Warnock-type team of 4-3-3 evolve with a midfield of Siliki-Howson-Payero and then Ikpeazu as the target man with...

@k-p-in-spain That's my view on Tavernier too, whilst it seems a logical solution to play Tav as a wing-back, I think the team lose far more than th...

@andy-r I think 4-3-3 is probably the least worst option if neither Bola or McNair are fit. Though, wing-backs favour the lack of a left-back but pu...

@original-fat-bob I don't think you can ditch your manager after six games before most of his new signings have barely kicked a ball and he's been l...

Thanks for the preview Andy and lining up all those untypical Boro-like ducks in a row - playing the bottom team who are even more desperate for a win...

Well it was an open game but from Boro's point of view they were too open and Coventry won the midfield and took advantage of Boro's poor passing. Dij...

Well it has been quite an open game and pretty even in the first quarter but Coventry started to win the midfield battle where Boro are looking a litt...

@k-p-in-spain I see Neil Warnock obviously took my advice on Payero... He's not even in the squad! Anyway, I presume it's a back three as Jones...
