@stircrazy I'd probably go with Bola as left-back and still think Muniz has more on the ball to offer than Chuba - though his form has dipped a lit...
@lenmasterman Thanks Len, will do - she's not given up but not as enthusiastic a follower as a few seasons ago when she went to all home and away g...
Got back on Thursday from a week's trip to visit family on Teesside but thankfully there was no interest in a trip to the Riverside for the Huddersfie...
@selwynoz Indeed, it should have been 5-1 when Crooks scored but I think his hernia was just offside...
A ridiculous performance in the second half and I fully expect the manager will be relieved of his duties before the next game - this is not the Boro ...
It was one of those where the opposition were happy to let Boro have possession and for all the neat passing there were few opportunities created. Cro...
Team News... So Leo's last selection unless Boro are still chatting with Michael Carrick: Well it's Akpom and Watmore up top as Muniz heads to the b...
Some good news today, Huddersfield lost at home to Preston tonight so Boro at least won't be bottom when Carrick takes over - also Blackburn beat Sund...
@original-fat-bob So we're talking about the dream team of Michael Carrick, Alex Bruce and John O Shea - could be time to hit that shift key again....
@lenmasterman In many ways, the club have form in undermining their managers of late - remember Warnock remarked that he was dismissed in a manner ...
@david-in-cumbria If the Gazette is right, then problems getting Carrick's coaching team together seems to be one of the causes of the delay - appa...
@k-p-in-spain There should be no second chances with anything of a similar nature - I think spitting is regarded by footballers as the worst thing ...
So according to the Gazette: Middlesbrough confident of wrapping up deal to appoint Michael Carrick as new manager - though that may now be towards he...
@lenmasterman Good post Len and highlights the inconsistencies of how the club is being run and how it has lost sight of the main purpose of how it...
@andy-r I expect the first interview with Carrick went along the lines of 'We have our principles as a club that the head coach has to work under' ...
@ken Now Ken stop trying to get us all excited for next season with all this talk of Crawley and Fleetwood 😉
@malcolm I console myself with the fact that it sounds too ridiculous to be true - must be just more clickbait musings surely?
@original-fat-bob I read that article with some dread - we escape Steve Bruce only to get son-of-Bruce as a young inexperienced assistant coach to ...
@malcolm The quote for Neil Warnock that stood out for me was... It is a gamble going with a young lad, especially at Championship level. It’s su...
Many thanks OFB for the preview and providing a thorough examination of the failings, continued failings and potential future failings. We still don't...
This from Scott Wilson in the Echo... Middlesbrough's managerial uncertainty has to end now Interestingly, Leo is quoted in the article saying bas...
@john-richardson Just read this morning that Leo expects to be still in charge on Wednesday for the Wigan game - indeed, he apparently said in his ...
@david-in-cumbria As things stand, the most optimism I can muster is that hopefully we can get it together to avoid relegation - it's a long way ab...
A much better second half performance from Boro, which took only them from up from poor to average - not many clear chances created but a couple that ...
Somehow Boro are still in this game thanks to a well-worked goal in injury time goal by Duncan Watmore - in truth it could have been 5-0 if Steffen ha...
Did anyone mention that the wing-back system is not working - nearly 3-0 - could be a long afternoon...
Here's an unofficial link for anyone who needs one... Boro v Rovers Though they'll be watching a comeback now after Rovers scored 😒
Team News... Jones is back on the bench again but Giles starts - so could be Dijksteel as wing-back again and McNair as right centre-back - unless t...
@ken I noticed the coaching ability of Leo was being talked up in some of the local press this morning - I wonder if a win today and another on Wed...
@k-p-in-spain Who knows if anything actually reported by either local journalists and the clickbait merchants elsewhere has any meaning beyond that...
