    Giles loan ended

    Yes he did. Our bid as well as Luton's was accepted. He agreed to join us and gave assurances regarding this, Luton then offered more financially and he changed his mind. My worry is a team with Engel in will not get promoted on this seasons form. Bangura has shown flashes that he is good...

    What would you do with a problem like Dael?

    I can see all points. For me as ever he's massively underrated by our fans as he's home grown (they always are), but the big problem is his fitness ever since the branthwaite incident. His heading has improved massively and has become a dominant part of his game (see how many headers he won vs...

    Our young players

    It's not just about the football, it's about moving away from home for many and standing on your own 2 feet (much as they get placed with a family). I'm aware that when Warnock was in charge some of the young lads turned down non-league loans (thinking they were better) so he set up a friendly...

    Millwall to expand the Den

    The locals don't like it when you tell them how nice the area is since it's gentrification and how lovely it was to quaff fine wines in the local area before the game. Some of them became quite upset.

    Sam Cosgrove

    There's some terrible journalism / links. Kayden Jackson from Ipswich is another one. Terrible goals record even last season in division 1, article on FLW says he would be good backup to LL.

    Archer - the Return

    We made a mistake going into the season with 2 strikers, it's not enough (I don't count Forrs as he never plays him there). Even playing 1 up top we need 3 strikers. Ideally we need a Chuba type who can play 9 and 10. Same with midfield we need a partner for Hackney who can receive the ball...

    The ref on Saturday

    It was Keith Stroud who's the worst ref I've ever seen. He's made terrible decisions against us in the past (sending off Ayala for a great tackle against Norwich - they scored from the free kick to make it 1-1 and then scored the winner against 10 men). Funilly enough though this season...

    Matthew Craig - Donny Rovers

    Haha just had a look on BBC and what a surprise it was Craig with the assist therefore I concur.

    Matthew Craig - Donny Rovers

    Who was the lad who got the assist for the first goal? Carried the ball well, kept moving forward out of possession, checked his run to stay inside and then great delivery. Unfortunately I didnt see much more of the game so didn't see him other than that snippet but stood out.

    Ayling - natural replacement for Giles

    Plays with a smile, 100% commitment, can defend and is an assist king. Get him signed up.

    Who Did Your Parents Have an Irrational Hatred of?

    Brilliant thread. My mam hated the bad boy renegades too. Add to those 3 Eric Bristow (she liked John Lowe) but she loved princess Diana. My dad hated Noel Edmonds and I thought he hated Paul Daniels as he would always turn ofd his Saturday night TV show. Then he mentioned touring/playing in a...

    Preston v Leicester

    Isn't Saturday a retro Boro shirt day? Sure red faction or 12th man put something out saying dust off your retro shirts for the last game of the season.

    This seasons signing

    Watching Ipswich and Hull, they both have an abundance of strikers and we're both able to make multiple changes (I mean Kiefer Moore and Liam Delap as subs!). We were very naive to go into the season with 2 strikers, it's just not enough even without the injuries.

    Bayer Leverkusen

    Blatant push in the back on that equaliser.

    Finn Azaz - assist for Lath goal

    It wasn't floated though, he hit it over distance into space at the perfect pace for Lath to run onto. Most of the other right footers on the pitch would have attempted that ball and put it in the stand.
