@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...
@powmillnaemore Thanks and glad to hear your unfortunate bout of Covid has eased off to allow you to return home!
So the summer business is concluded and to quote Keiran Scott, "The job starts now" for Michael Carrick as he attempts to blend the new arrivals into...
Thanks to everyone for their generous comments on the preview and hope you enjoyed the interweaving flow of consciousness between reality and the alte...
@lenmasterman I would like to say by careful research but I just had a hunch that everything always exists somewhere and headed for Google 😉
@lenmasterman You may be pleased to know that there is now a Kings Park Rangers - albeit in the Essex and Suffolk Border League...
@k-p-in-spain I received another email on 22 August from MFC saying the the refund has been issued and can take up to 10 days to arrive in my accou...
