Craig Hignett was only standing in for Neil Maddison as he was at a wedding yesterday - so at least we were spared hearing his repertoire of malapropi...

@pedro If you compare the marks given yesterday to those awarded for the Hull game you would think everyone played much better but in my opinion Bo...

Well Boro somehow managed to come away from South Wales with a welcome three points - don't know if they deserved them but after more poor defending a...

Boro were easily second best for nearly all the first half with typically losing possession and getting caught on the break where Swansea had four rea...

Team News... Just the one change with Bangura in for Engel

So back in the game after a few days being absorbed with configuring a couple of wifi routers to replace the an ageing one and subsequently reconfigur...

I think Dijksteel should be given time to get match fit before passing judgement - that was something like his second start in over a year and I thoug...

Unbelievable that Boro contrived to lose that game after probably being in a position to score enough goals to win five games if they'd had quality wh...

But for a better shot or final ball Boro could have been out of sight in this game - for all the slick football and good interplay, there were at leas...

Team News... So van den Berg plays as does Dijksteel so a central defence of Fry and RvdB - Jones as expected returns and Rogers makes way with Latt...

Many thanks Dormo for coming down from your mountain retreat and producing another excellent entertaining and informative opener in your very own inim...

@stircrazy I guess it was a low bar today but didn't think Howson was the worse player and tried to drive the team forward plus thought van den Ber...

@malcolm According to those ratings in the Gazette - Howson, van den Berg, Crooks, Rogers and Greenwood were the worse players on the pitch 🤔

Boro simply not good enough today - probably only Clarke, van den Berg and Howson were at the required level of performance needed. The team looked di...

Both sides canceling each other out for most of the first half but in truth Ipswich have had to do very little to prevent Boro creating chances as our...

Team News... Fry returns to defence with van den Berg likely at right-back and Engel at left-back - still no Hackney but Greenwood comes in for the ...

After a week of snow over here the thaw set in last night and is now a balmy 7 degrees so will get a quick walk in before the game to warm up my achin...

OK, don't tell Mrs Werder but I'll be settling down to watch on the sofa with a Leffe Blonde on Wednesday evening😉

@k-p-in-spain Funnily enough I bought a VPN subscription last week after my Sat receiver with hard disk recorder packed up so wanted to watch some ...

@k-p-in-spain I've lost count over the number of German people who have been asking where they can watch the Boro v Hull game next Wednesday - ok I...

@original-fat-bob From my view on the bench I don't mind writing another opener for the Villa FA Cup game - unless of course someone else is keen t...

@exmil It does seem like you may be right about the timeline of the investigation - it's been ongoing for over 4 years and will likely continue for...

@forever-dormo Just for the record, I think I said I wasn't old 😉 As for being 'middle aged' well it seems it's quite subjective - it was though...

@martin-bellamy Congratulations Martin and you're so lucky to already have five grandchildren - unfortunately if my 13-year old follows my example ...

@forever-dormo It would be nice if 'the rules' were applied without fear or favour but call me a late-middle-aged (definitely not old) cynic but I ...

@philip-of-huddersfield I suppose the chances of signing Greenwood on the cheap are dependent on him not having an outstanding season - as is keepi...

@exmil Would seem to be the most likely team if nobody returns from injury given the lack of players left in defence and midfield - though there ar...

Just as an aside on the promotion race this season - there may well end up being quite a lot of pressure on teams hoping to gain promotion this season...

Thanks for another great opener Deleriad - I thought Middlesborough were the typo kings but I feel Gippaswic may have outdone us by losing their openi...

@philip-of-huddersfield Looking at the two goals - the first was a high looping cross where McNair was getting under the flight of the ball when Ja...
