Just wondering who was down for the Cardiff preview and noticed it was Deleriad but his last post on Diasboro was 17 June so he may not be aware he's ...
@andy-r All sounds good in theory with players seamlessly knowing their roles as cogs in the machine - though there's probably that usually problem...
@andy-r Good post and interesting analysis Andy - though I've read some arguments that one of the problems may be that Carrick likes his full-backs...
@exmil Whatever the result at Cardiff the Carabao Cup will be forgotten about as it was certainly a forgettable game with nothing meaningful to tak...
@paulinboro I don't think the problem is that Boro don't do anything with their possession as last night they had more shots on goal than Stoke and...
Having not seen the game yesterday, I've just watched the 'highlights' and although hard to get a general impression of the game in 4 minutes, Boro ha...
I suppose one bit of good news from yesterday was that Ayling was withdrawn at HT not because of injury 😓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...
