Team News... Boro unchanged for the third successive game

Since neither Hull or Coventry play again before the international break it means should Boro win their next 2 games and Norwich fail to win at Stoke ...

One of the most complete Boro performances for some time with the defence looking solid, a good shape and intensity and some good finishing after uppi...

@stircrazy Thought Forss was unlucky to be booked as he was first fouled and lost his balance which caused him to foul the QPR player.

Quite an even first half in an absorbing if unspectacular game with Boro showing good intensity and shape to match QPR. Overall, Boro have defended we...

@k-p-in-spain Also confirmed on the BBC that Sainz dismisal overturned - so I wasn't imagining not seeing him deliberately kick Howson 🤔 - btw ther...

Thanks Deleriad for a clever and novel angle on the match preview as you captured the Diasboro zeitgeist of the season as it unraveled. Michael Carr...

@original-fat-bob I keep looking at the incident and I'm not seeing a deliberate raking of studs in this case. Though I agree the foul on Jones whe...

@k-p-in-spain Just watched the incident on the ITVx player and only saw the same camera angles as shown in the highlights and it still doesn't look...

I've watched the replay of the red card many times and I can barely see any contact with Howson's thigh, let alone anything considered as raking - I t...

Here's something to ponder before going to bed - that win has put Boro 10 points behind Hull in 6th and before the international break Boro have their...

Thanks to that red card it turned out to be a comfortable last hour for Boro as they got the goals to retake the lead and then simply used their man a...

@selwynoz I agree about Engel as for some reason he has this propensity to play square infield passes around the edge of the box - he needs to be t...

Yes Boro looked completely short on ideas on how to play against Norwich - they weren't even defending well enough even with an extra defender and it ...

Team News... So it looks like a back three and the team Exmil predicted earlier! Plus Jones is on the bench too!!

If you think the Boro squad lacks pace then maybe this article will reinforce that view when you discover who Crook's claims is the third fastest play...

@original-fat-bob I think Barlaser has made way too many mistakes playing the ball out of midfield to counter the occasions where he's had good gam...

@powmillnaemore After our play-off hopes evaporated, can Boro escape from the depressing black hole and the Championship non-event horizon to avoid...

@exmil I would go with your line-up over the Echo

@jarkko Howson only had a knock so if he’s recovered from that then should be ok. 2-2 is not bad shout given both defences concede on average 1.5 g...

As for having a competitive league system - surely it's the job of the regulating bodies to ensure it has in place rules to make a league a collection...

Thanks Clive for rising well above the occasion ('rising to' would be a low bar) of Wednesday's Riverside clash with your inimitable preview - it's ha...

Just a further point on the game yesterday and the selection of McGree at wide right - presumably this was done to allow him to cut inside on his left...

@k-p-in-spain Apparently RvdB is a talker on the pitch and I did notice him pointing and shouting at other players - unfortunately we don't appear ...

Boro just don't have an outlet without either Jones or Coburn - the only time Boro have won this season without Jones was that 1-0 at Leicester. There...

@pedro Not quite at my fingertips but the 34 games this season and the last 12 of last season add up to 62 points - though those last 12 games of 2...

Looks like Boro are determined have an Exmil Challenge this season! Poor performance and Boro looked clueless on how play together as a team against...

Game over - Boro won't get anything now Stoke are two up - a bad second half performance after an average at best first half!

No real pattern to the first half and few chances by both sides but a couple of scares for Boro with Barlaser passing to the opposition in his own thi...

Team News... Clarke in for McNair and Latte Lath starts as does Greenwood instead of Azaz and Silvera as Boro look to score goals and let fewer in!
