@clive-hurren You have to question the fee paid for Latte Lath as a 24-year old you would think he's close to his prime as a striker but he's had a...

Many thanks Andy for the informative preview of the Carabao Cup game - though it's probably going to be the most visible thing of the tie as once agai...

Good debate again and I don't disagree with much that has been written on both sides of the argument - though it essentially boils down to most of the...

Phew finally three points on the board and well deserved - Coburn was immense today leading the line and Jones ran himself into the ground. Howson ste...

Much better performance by Boro in that first half with Jones and Coburn impressing - sadly Boro got caught by Southampton with perhaps O'Brien's inex...

Annoying that the game has been made unavailable on Boro Live due to being selected for international broadcast - it's a bit deluded to think that peo...

@deleriad That should go down well at the Riverside if Rogers gets the nod ahead of McGree - though it does make sense to have a left-footer at lef...

@peter-surtees Our free-scoring team has also been replaced by Boro-nil 😉

@original-fat-bob As a rumour it probably doesn't make sense as since Boro have signed two left full-backs this summer it would only have been a on...

@k-p-in-spain Sounded more like throwaway soundbites from messrs Shearer and Lineker who only mention Carrick was regarded as one of the best coach...

@pedro Of course it is - how could I forget Sunderland away given it's Carrick's old club 🙂

Thanks for a very interesting opener Selwynoz and no doubt with an accountants eye for detail on the dealings at Southampton. It's perhaps a lower ris...

@martin-bellamy Looks like Neil Warnock was right about what would happen if Akpom was played out of position at Ajax - he's being converted into a...

Only just seen the sad news about Ken - he will be long remembered on Diasboro for his excellent contributions, love of culture and sharing his compre...

Make no mistake Wednesday are a poor side and the fact Boro couldn't beat them to get off the bottom just about sums up the game. Don't understand how...

So Carrick has finally realised van den Berg is not a right-back - he's decided he's a left-back instead 🤣

Oh dear - well I've had a very hectic day and rushed back home to catch the game only 5 minutes in and instead I should have strolled home and taken i...

Thanks for a well-researched opener Powmill and thankfully you didn't include reference to my COTS Challenge that was probably the worse prediction si...

@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...
