    Akor Adams

    Not a bad return too, lower class of league mind you but his goal returns are good.

    Tom Glover

    Had a look on Melbourne's fan forum page for comments about Glover. Some I've found at the back end of their transfer thread of interest.. "One thing Young does much better than Glover is come out at corners and negate them. That I feel was a major course of goals against us. Saying that I...

    Carrick speaking to the press this afternoon

    Football is all about opinions and depends which camp your foot is in. For us, we've gone away from home in a playoff semi final game and restricted the home team to NIL shots on goal and on another day would have came away with 1 or 2 goals. (crossbar) & (offside) goals. We also stopped one of...

    Ripe for a take over?

    To be fair, it doesn't take much digging and confirming what Gibson said on previous comments back that the whole picture is better than many think it is. To quote accounts published under "The Gibson O'Neill Company Limited" showed a huge profit even during some difficult times. Turning over...

    When to overtake the Blades?

    Also to take into account, games aren't played on paper. Got to take into account players fitness, mental state. Sheffield United have a gruelling match wedged in now in the FA Cup to factor in. Will the 4 home games help if they do fall to 3rd with added pressure from the crowd filtering onto...

    A graph

    Morning all, after the win yesterday against Preston. I quickly put together a graph of points earned and goals scored from July 2022. The difference from January onwards is quite telling. Where we have increased our goal output and points, Sheffield United are now struggling to score and win...

    Ali Brownlee Commentary

    You're lucky to have met him, i would have loved to have sat down and chatted Middlesbrough with him. Such an infectious tone/attitude and i would have been interested in hearing his opinion of the last 18 months.

    Ali Brownlee Commentary

    I remember just prior to his passing i tweeted him when he was poorly and off air a bit saying how much of a difference he made to me when i was working Saturdays and couldn't get to the game and could hear his excitement and passion for the club in his poetic like description of what was...

    Carrick now 1/10

    Hope it doesn't suggest we're slightly panicking and perhaps bent over and accepted some T&Cs which originally we said no to? Again though it may be changes that are needed as for the first time since AK being sacked there's a huge fan disconnect and anger around the Riverside and this...

    The Gazette is finished the Northern Echo is the go to paper/website for Boro news

    I also don't understand what makes her an expert? She's a fan like me and everyone else on here so why does she get to air only her opinions? Bores me to death having people close to the club spouting off stuff that makes things seem better than they are or not asking the right questions.

    Whats ur message to the new manager

    Any new manager has their hands full with this lot? The team is made up of some of Wilder's signings to play a certain way and some to fit the "development model" implemented with the new head of football/scouting for the future. Which leaves us with the following problems; 1) We have been...

    Wilder Rumours

    I agree with this, i think we're in limbo like i have said on another thread. I now feel Gibson no longer has belief in Wilder and wants him out however he's ruthless and won't pull the trigger this early into the season and will hope someone comes in for him and we earn compo. Someone will need...

    Crystal ball time: next Boro manager?

    I honestly think we're in limbo. Are we in a position where Gibbo doesn't want Wilder anymore but cannot afford to sack so hoping someone comes in? There's definitely tension around the place and that is now affecting the team and performances. Then saying that, after the full time whistle...

    The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Rotherham Match-Day Thread

    I think people have worked Wilder out. When he burst onto the scene with Sheffield United and he stormed up through the leagues with this unique, style defying wing back and wide centre backs everyone from Paul Merson through to Plato were quick to hail him the messiah. However his doomed last...

    The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Rotherham Match-Day Thread

    Right manager at the wrong time in my opinion. Tried to over see a huge team overhaul of Man United magnitude on a Salford budget. He cannot win, no chance he will be in charge come January to finish the build. Back to square one with another manager coming in with differing ideas. If it's...
