Well in truth Boro didn't really create a decent chance in the whole game - far too many poor deliveries and more than enough air shots - which probab...
It makes no sense, Sene had just become Boro's most dangerous player and he's then subbed???
A bad goal to concede that was really the result of three errors - midfield, keeper and defence - after that boro have had a lot of possession but the...
Interesting to see how Boro line up - Browne sometimes drops into the middle of a back three and if you consider both Ayling and Targett are full-back...
@boro-beckys-dad I don't think we have 3 fit centre-backs but Fry and Ayling have probably been our best centre-backs and Bangura has had some dece...
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few changes today - maybe Sene and Burgzorg up top and/or possibly Hansen given those that started against Blackburn ...
I'm a big fan of Gilbert in central midfield as he, reads the game, has a good range of passing and quick feet - I think it's let Hackney drive forwar...
Many thanks Powmill for another festive treat - Good King Wenceslas was a very appropriate choice for Boro connections as you may know that the origin...
@martin-bellamy I'm not sure if Hackney would want to leave as long as Boro are looking good for an automatic promotion place - he'd probably think...
@andy-r Good post Andy and I agree that our forwards were struggling yesterday - both Conway and Strelec seemed to fall over too easily with Whitta...
@pedro I agree about Gilbert - I thought he did well in the first half, including that exquisite pivot turn that set up an attack. I think Hellberg...
@clive-hurren As far as I understand, for Malanda to play in January Boro must remove a player from their 25-man list - this could be done in antic...
A scrappy second half where Boro were second best and never looked like scoring and indeed were lucky to finish the game with 11 men after Hackney esc...
Well Boro got into plenty of good scoring positions but just lacked that clinical edge - though Blackburn has had some decent opportunities too and ha...
@stircrazy Be interesting to see if Hamilton has improved as I for one had him earmarked as a likely January exit.
Always good to hear again from old regulars - glad you're still lurking Boro Beckys Dad and there's no better time to see JC posting than Christmas &#...
@peter-surtees Funnily enough, our German friends who visited us today who live in southern Germany but have family in Bremen and when talking abou...
@martin-bellamy Yes the same for me - the sight of Roseberry Topping is the one that says I'm back - though can't remember the last time I was actu...
Well done Martin that opener was brilliantly put together - let's hope Boro are also poetry in motion on Boxing Day too!
@martin-bellamy You may be right - the future seemed to be an exciting prospect back then but it certainly feels as if we're entering one that lack...
@original-fat-bob What a handsome young man you were - must've been a great and exciting time in the sixties being in band at the time of a cultura...
@jarkko That's got to be the greatest driving test ever!
@jarkko Yes sad news and the loss of a Middlesbrough icon who remained humble and down to earth and was the antithesis of a celebrity - just as I t...
@clive-hurren I'm beginning to suspect Rob Edwards is not on your Christmas card list...
Since it's Christmas, spare a thought for Rob Edwards - Opta have just calculated Wolves chance of avoiding relegation at 0.87% - some are claiming th...
Finally managed to fix my laptop yesterday evening after it was taking nearly 20 minutes to awake from hibernation (must be the time of year) during t...
Many thanks for your excellently crafted opener Andy with great insights and analysis - it wouldn't look out of place in a broadsheet. It's quite in...
