I suppose one bit of good news from yesterday was that Ayling was withdrawn at HT not because of injury 😓
@stircrazy 🤣
Hard to see any positives from tonight's game and a couple of injuries to boot - the fact that a weakened Stoke team are cruising and have even opted ...
@stircrazy Sounds like Borges will be a shoe-in for left-back for the rest of the season
Oh dear it's got worse - Boro leading 13-11 in terms of shots and have restricted Stoke to just 5 shots on target...
Well couldn't find an unofficial stream and definitely not paying for one now with Boro 4-0 down -sounds like it's been a good game to miss. Worrying ...
@original-fat-bob No wonder the club wanted a 7:15 kick-off - it would finish way after some of the Boro’s players bedtime otherwise 😏
A quick thanks to everyone for their comments on the preview - as ever much appreciated! As I mentioned last week, I'll unfortunately miss the first...
@powmillnaemore Many thanks but I meant 'It' skills 😉
@powmillnaemore It seems my IT skills are lacking 🙂
@selwynoz I could be your browser's cache as they often hold the previous session in memory unless you refresh or restart them
Just to add that I'm planning to post the Stoke Carabao Cup preview later today after starting on the writing - I guess it will be sometime this after...
@powmillnaemore Thanks for the reminder Powmill I shall try to start thinking of my predictions soon - incidentally, you set a deadline of the 31 A...
Well at least Boro avoided defeat but a game Boro should have won after having 30 (THIRTY) shots on goal - in the end it was a late penalty that saved...
Not the early goal I was thinking of to get Boro on course and the second was once again another calamity to add to Jones's back-pass last week. There...
@k-p-in-spain It's certainly looking a bit thin in defence with only youngsters Hunt and McCormick on the bench covering centre-back and left-back
I was wondering who that old grey man in the background was then read it was a 59-year old Gary Pallister - I now don't feel so bad being 60 with only...
Just catching up after finally also catching up on my gardening duties after my dodgy achilles has 'unfortunately' healed sufficiently to once again c...
@jarkko Not a great kick-off time for me as don't get back from picking my son up from Handball training on Tuesdays until around 8:10pm so would'v...
Good to hear from a familiar voice again Si with as usual a thought-provoking post - though thankfully not as steamy as the title originally suggested...
Well that sums up the Championship - Boro having the bulk of possession but lacking the final ball and shot to make it count - Derby not only parked t...
Damn - just missed the first half after forgetting it was a 12:30 kick off again - anyway, surprised to see Boro losing at H-T and hopefully it will b...
@exmil You are probably right that most of the players rested were rested for a reason and that reason being the next Championship game - though wi...
Thanks Len for another stylish preview that was right on the money from my point of view - the Championship season has proved to be one of attrition a...
@original-fat-bob I think my first Championship Preview is not until the end of October so unless somebody else is particularly keen on writing the...
Wow terrific second half from Boro they played Leeds off the pitch and what a great opening goal from Dijksteel! They looked so comfortable on the bal...
Boro looking pretty solid so far despite Leeds having the bulk of possession and have created quite a few chances on the break - probably have looked ...
@jarkko Sorry, didn't post this link it's been working for most of the first half but doesn't work with a adblocker and has the usual pop-ups and a...
