Btw on the grammar issue - I think football teams are group nouns so are plural - Boro are winning 1-0 at half time. Other group nouns Family - my...
Only saw the last 20 minutes but Boro look to be playing with more energy and intensity and are on the front foot - though QPR nearly got back into th...
@stircrazy back four as expected but not sure how the front four will line up - Iheanacho isn’t really anything other than a striker even though he...
@k-p-in-spain I think Boro are definitely outsiders for a top six spot - Coventry look certs and both West Brom and Bristol City have both only los...
@clive-hurren You'd expect a reaction from the players on Tuesday - especially at home in what would effectively by season-ending if Boro fail to w...
@jarkko That typo made me laugh out loud when I read it - a classic malapropism that somehow summed the defensive problems this season 😉 ...
Many thanks Jarkko for the preview with very good analysis with your usual positive twist - Boro will certainly need a big improvement on Swansea to h...
I think Carrick may be a bit deluded if he thinks that performance yesterday was a “one-off” - we’ve seen too many of these performances this season a...
@pedro I think we saw the full folly of the January window in that game - plus the odd decision by Carrick to leave Burgzorg, who was until he was ...
An error-strewn performance from Boro who looked anything but a coherent team against a poor Swansea side who simply knew that Boro couldn't hurt them...
No sign of Boro playing like a team in the second half after the subs - don't understand why Burgzorg hasn't come on yet?
Just checked, he's 26 and today is only his 3rd Championship game - so I am definitely old in comparison 😉
Iling-Junior on at left-back for Giles?
Unbelievable - Carrick makes 2 subs but keeps Whittaker on and takes off Forss instead!
Boro were a disjointed mess in that first half and failed to pass the ball or keep hold of it - Whittaker the worst offender and if he stays on the pi...
@pedro I wish Whittaker was anonymous...
Poor game with Boro playing terrible - can't pass the ball - Whittaker needs to come off as he's probably given the ball away 7 or 8 times already - i...
@exmil That's certainly a blow - I was expecting Doak to be back in training this week but it seems an injury to a Boro player sees them disappear ...
Thanks for another brilliantly amusing read Dormo - while people often say they're going on holiday to recharge their batteries, it seems you're takin...
Well thankfully job done - it was hard work and not pretty for most of the game but in the end massive three points is all that counted today to leave...
Well Boro finally have a left-footed central defender on the pitch- unfortunately it’s Borges 🤔
I think Burgzorg needs to come on to drive at Derby
After a slow start by Boro, the game is more or less as expected with Derby getting men behind the ball and Boro looking to find a way past them - not...
@k-p-in-spain sounds like Sammy Siberia has been left out in the cold 😏
Many thanks Clive for another top amusing and enjoyable preview - the win on Tuesday has certainly changed the potential mood for this afternoon's gam...
Guess what... I write my match preview for the last game of the season 😉
What a relief! Boro win a game and to be honest it should never have been in doubt against a poor Stoke side. Should give the players confidence to pl...
