Been non-stop with heavy-duty gardening since the first leg so have had no time to think abut tonight's games - which is probably for the best as I'm ...

Well it looked like the game at the Coventry Building Society Arena had both teams interested in saving themselves for the second leg with neither sid...

A high energy first half with Boro looking comfortable in possession but only a few genuine chances to score against a well-organised Coventry defence...

Team News... Still no Howson but Forss and Fry are on the bench with Smith getting the nod at right-back and Mowatt partnering Hackney in midfield.

Well it's getting close to the moment of truth as kick-off approaches and firstly many thanks to Andy for his opener with a detailed analysis of the s...

Phew! No injuries and thankfully nobody in a Boro shirt tried to score to set up a play-off match against Sunderland 😉 Plus how did Millwall throw awa...

A first half where Boro lacked the intensity of a team who thought they were playing a real games - some nice passing in the middle of the pitch witho...

Looks like Carrick has gone for his strongest available starting XI - maybe he'll hope to seal the game in the first half and then rest a few players ...

Team News... So Akpom and Archer start but no Howson in the squad or Forss but Giles returns

Not long to kick-off now and I'm also worried about the weather conditions - as it's a glorious sunny day over here and I'm currently in shorts and T-...

@ken Thanks Ken, though I'd only add that the beauty of classical songs may be brought into question were I to sing them in german 😉

Just to echo the praise for Neil Warnock in what he has achieved at Huddersfield - he was appointed with the Terriers joint-bottom with Blackpool on 2...

Thanks for the right royal match preview OFB for Monday afternoon's special one-off bank holiday crowning glory of a successful season - though I'll b...

@powmillnaemore In an ideal world Boro beat Coventry convincingly a great team performance, Chuba scores at least one and we pick up no injuries or...

@pedro I suspect the longer gap between semi and final is more to with the logistics of selling tickets and organising the trip to Wembley for supp...

@lenmasterman I was also at that game Len so the dull 0-0 probably had something to do with me being present as I think I'd failed to see Boro scor...

@selwynoz Good argument for beating Coventry in that Boro probably have a better chance of beating them over one game rather than two - plus defens...

@forever-dormo Of course if Boro beat Coventry it would give us a psychological advantage but it would be an advantage that couldn't be utilised as...

@pedro It's certainly hard to call as I can also see the need for going into the playoffs with some kind of momentum but I can also agree with Plat...

As for the game at the weekend, I only caught parts of it as we had visitors but didn't look like Boro were fully mentally in the game - whereas Rothe...

Hadn't noticed the site was down as was out and about most of the holiday weekend - Anyway, for those who didn't know, the problem was caused by the f...

@clive-hurren Clive, if you click on 'Contact' in the menu you will see the diasboro@outlook.com email address which I use to manage the site.

@jarkko All I'd say is that Steffen didn't bring Carlton Morris down - the Luton player wanted contact and just about engineered to brush against S...

Boro didn't really deserve to lose that one after a free header from a corner with shades of obstruction and a very dubious penalty - though Boro crea...

Boro looked comfortable in possession in that first half with Luton not really getting tight to the Boro players in order to break up our passing game...

While I did speculate on a possible back three with Dijksteel Lenihan and Bola, it would be too much work on the training pitch to change the system a...

Thanks for the opener OFB and good to see the fog from recent bout of Covid is starting to lift - though I have a friend whose experience of long Covi...

@jarkko Whatever the number of goals Millwall or Blackburn score in their remaining games, since they have to play each other only one can finish a...

@pedro Dijksteel was one of the best performing players last season and just having his extra pace in defence is enough for me to pick him - we see...

Indeed I think Boro have secured a playoff place since only three teams can now mathematically overtake us - Millwall, Blackburn and West Brom - but a...
