@exmil Yes that is essentially the 1976 crest with 18 replacing 19 - though speaking as a former graphic designer the overall spacing and size of t...
Great stuff Clive and many thanks for sowing the seeds of enthusiasm with a clever well-paced opener to get us back from what has felt a very long int...
Just as an aside - just read an article in the independent about James Cleverly being confronted on TV over the misspelling of ‘Britain’ on chocolate ...
@lenmasterman Yes, sorry of course I meant left wing-back - not sure how I mixed that up but his pace down the left has been missing or even his de...
Perhaps the missing ingredient to Boro winning games is staring us in the face - Silvera played right wing-back in the first 4 games that Boro won but...
@k-p-in-spain Coventry certainly punching above their weight based on that listing!
@forever-dormo I agree the midfield is integral to both defence and attack - plus I guess we should technically include wing-backs in that part of ...
@pedro Those last 6 QPR games came immediately after their 7-1 thrashing by Coventry so some comfort for Boro in that you're not always as good as ...
I think the most disappointing thing about yesterday was the actual performance against a Portsmouth team that were probably one of the least impressi...
Yet another poor delivery at the death from Nypan - this has easily been Boro's worst performance of the season - a disjointed mess since the opening ...
Boro's final ball has been terrible today
@pedro Make that 4 - he just can't strike a ball
Far too slow and predictable from Boro in what as been a scrappy game since the first ten minutes - doesn't seem to be any synergy between the midfiel...
btw Coventry now 5-0 up but a bit of good news is Blackburn have equalised against Stoke.
Here's the official match graphic of the team highlighting Matt Targett but looks like Boro will be playing in their new third kit since the blue/blac...
@malcolm Edwards has opted for the forwards that ended the game against Stoke so I'm expecting Boro to use their pace to get an early goal - also B...
@presidentjump Hopefully they will - thankfully Boro don't play them until the end of November!
Well we'll certainly need a win to stay (regain) top as Coventry already 2-nil up away at Sheff Wed and now have +17 goal difference having scored twi...
@pedro It's an interesting point about Latte Lath versus Conway as the number nine - for me Conway isn't a number nine but at the moment Strelec do...
@simonfallaha Also good to see you back too Si with more of your usual insights and recollections.
@john-richardson Glad to see you back John and on the mend after a difficult month dealing with what sounds like a nasty illness.
Many thanks Andy for another top preview and very astute analysis on the delicate balance of Boro's attack in and out of possession - Tommy Conway has...
@jarkko We've still got Portsmouth before the break but if we win that game then yes it'll be a minimum of a 4 point gap to 3rd!
We can't complain really - going into October 4 points clear of the play-offs at minimum and still unbeaten - 23 other clubs would swap places with us...
@pedro I think it's still early days in terms of the attack clicking as both Strelec and Sene have probably played not much more than 180 minutes e...
Just to prove how hard the Championship is and how good a point can be - Boro beat Sheff Utd to go 2 points clear at the top and 3 clear of 3rd place ...
Well that was both a competitive game and a game of two halves - Boro looking at their best in the first half and only a poor ref stopped them going i...
Just saw your post after writing mine - so that’s a double tonic for OFB - best no gin though….
@original-fat-bob Hope you feeling better soon - take it easy and hopefully Boro give you a tonic tonight!
It's also a bit of grudge match tonight between Mark Robins and Adi Viveash after they fell out at Coventry and Mark Robins told their chairman that h...
