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...
Just for balance, if you're looking for things to worry about then Stoke absolutely battered Norwich in their last game with 23 shots on goal in what ...
If you're looking for encouragement for Boro tonight, then after winning their opening 3 league games (albeit against 3 of the current bottom 6 in She...
@Selwynoz Also interesting comparison of that Reading team that finished on 106 points and our famous Jack Charlton champions from 1973-74. You made...
Many thanks for the excellent preview Selwynoz with your usual great analytical eye and detailed assessment. I'd agree Boro this season look to have b...
@presidentjump Yes I'd agree, Ayling was the standout player for Boro today both in defence and in an offensive capacity - two wonderful crosses w...
@k-p-in-spain It's not quite broken just slightly quacked...
Not a great performance but once again Edwards made a telling substitution with a triple change that changed the dynamic and put Southampton on the ba...
A first half littered with errors that could have proved costly on another day as Boro came off second best but in truth it wasn't a high bar. Boro se...
Hopefully a win today and preferably a draw between Preston and Bristol City that could open up a 7-point gap to 3rd if Stoke don't beat Norwich but s...
@mw-in-darwin I think McCormick could well be an important player for Boro in the next three months - although he has only played predominantly as ...
So the news is that Lenihan is actually injured again and will be out for a "number of weeks" with an achilles injury - which was also responsible alo...
@mw-in-darwin Great spot with Jack Stephens - I hope if he scores he doesn’t celebrate out of respect to that one appearance 10 years ago 😏
