@pedro Certainly it will be reaching a tipping point with supporters if Boro fail against Sheff Wed and subsequently Carrick will also be close to ...
@clive-hurren I'm all for midfielders making attacking runs but from what I've read of O'Brien is that he's good at tackling with a great engine an...
In terms of those stats - Boro had 21 shots today and Blackburn had 15 - certainly an open game but whether Michael Carrick will still think his team ...
Well in the end the scoreline was close but in truth Blackburn could have easily scored 7, 8 or 9 and looked like scoring every time they attacked. Bo...
Goal machine Crooks gets Boro back in it but Boro have already nearly conceded 3 since scoring - defensively boro are having a nightmare and Dieng loo...
Well that H-T team talk obviously did the trick - another defensive awol goal as every stood and watched the opposition shoot.
Well Boro lucky to go into half-time only one goal down - Rovers missed heading in two open goals plus twice Boro gifted the ball to the opposition on...
So O'Brien actually not playing in midfield but as a left-sided attacker 🤔
@peter-surtees I wasn't too convinced by Rav an den Berg as a right-back as he looked too big a unit to be getting up and down the pitch regularly ...
@original-fat-bob Possibly Carrick starting mainly with players who were available for training during the international break - I notice Engel not...
In defence it looks like Rav van den Berg may be back at right-back and Bangura at left-back. In midfield Howson, Hackney and O'Brien all start and th...
Team News: Plenty of changes - make of that what you can...
@jarkko I guess if Boro were going to shoot the messenger at the moment they'd probably miss 😉 Interesting stats but what do they mean? Sounds li...
Many thanks for the opener OFB and I expect you would be hard-pressed to find any positive quotes after Jarkko's revelation that this is Boro's worst ...
@martin-bellamy Unfortunately our paths never crossed as it looks like you started your journey about 8 years before me so you were the trailblazer...
@martin-bellamy Looks like we've shared a similar educational journey - starting at Linthorpe School in Middlesbrough and ending at Prior Pursglove...
@k-p-in-spain Anything's possible in the Championship until it doesn't happen - after all who would have predicted Boro as bottom before the season...
@selwynoz Just to add a slight positive note - Boro are only 3 wins off the play-offs with over 40 games to go - so if Michael Carrick can "reboot"...
@boro-beckys-dad If you look at the three clubs who got promoted to the PL with only a single point between them so far then watching entertaining ...
@pedro I had Boro to finish 3rd in the Challenge 🤣 🤣 🤣 Though to be fair was on holiday and probably had been drinking 😉 I don't think Steve ...
@exmil You mean the same Jonathan Woodgate who won Manager of the Month in December 2019 at Boro and once again in April 2021 when in charge of Bou...
@clive-hurren As I mentioned in my preview, since Boro already have 9 attack-minded players to fit into just 4 positions, the chances of promoting ...
@jarkko No surprise Boro haven't spent as much as others - though not sure on the exact figure as much is not definitively published but if Boro di...
@andy-r Good points and I would also add that the forwards were not making runs to allow the likes of Jones to have a forward pass available after ...
Well after that performance my glass is definitely half-empty and judging by the 'booze' around the Riverside at the final whistle I'm not alone. Bo...
Not sure how Jones was subbed ahead of several others 🤔
Boro paid the price for being unable to keep hold of the ball and link up with each other - a few passes went astray and only really Jones, Latte Lath...
Also a little surprised to see McGree on the bench but given Rogers scored maybe Carrick wants him to continue for his confidence
@jarkko It wasn't 100% clear whether he served the ban in the Carabao ('League') Cup as it wasn't definitively mentioned but he wasn't in the squad...
@powmillnaemore When it comes to football administration it seems very little is fit for purpose and the transfer system is a peculiar mix of histo...
