    Iheanacho

    That was ridiculous. I know people say he wasn’t fit when he signed but we should be seeing some signs of improvement. It looks like he’s running through treacle. It wouldn’t do bad if he was physical, could hold it up and was good in the air but he isn’t. Dreadful signing and shouldn’t be...

    Current players liking Swansea win post

    I get what you’re saying but this isn’t just an isolated example of things not being right. We don’t have a committed squad. It’s obvious in games when things don’t quite go our way we crumble. If McGree is fit for Australia then we should be asking more questions. There are lots of signs...

    Let's be honest that was totally unacceptable

    He was right to take Giles off but it should’ve been Burgzorg for Azaz or Whittaker. To carry on playing how we did shows not only do the coaches not see issues but the players either don’t or aren’t allowed to deviate from the core tactic to overcome in game problems.

    Carrick "Now's not the time to be dissecting the game"

    Things had gone wrong with ELL in the team. He helped but to use it as an excuse for this season isn’t right. Conway is one of the best strikers at this level. We didn’t play to his strengths yesterday. We got beat by a team who on paper are worse than us. That happened because they were...

    SEAN DYCHE

    No to Dyche. if the right person isn’t available now then use someone who will blood youngsters until the end of the season to see if they are any good at this level. McCormick and McCabe should be getting minutes now.

    Current players liking Swansea win post

    Silvera and Barlaser have both liked Lewis O’Briens victory post on social media. I’ve got to agree with the comments in the link. It’s a **** sign and sums up that we’re too nice. We were bullied in that first half yesterday and struggled to deal with their pressure. We’re weak mentally and...

    Ian Nacho

    I thought he added more of a presence against a physical side. Certainly put himself about and has ability. Hopefully he keeps it up and adds quality to the bench for the run in.

    The lack of youth coming through worries me.

    Totally agree. Most of our young ones out on loan seem to struggle. The ones who leave often drop out of the football league. I’ve just checked on Calum Kavanagh - 3 goals in 25 in league two. Hopefully he has a decent career but at 21 he isn’t at the level we needed so it looks like the...

    Players come to us to rebuild career not promotion

    Sol looks decent in goal and Glover is probably an ok number 2/3 keeper.

    Josh Coburn.

    Coburn is a good option to compete with Conway as he offers something different. His wages would all us to have a third striker too instead of paying out massive wages for someone else’s player.

    Maybe this is our level?

    Plenty of teams would love to have Travers, RVB, Fry, Morris, Hackney, Doak, Azaz, Whittaker and Conway. Lath was one of the best strikers in the league and we didn’t pick up as many points as we should have when we had him. We aren’t the finished article don’t get me wrong but we should be...

    Maybe this is our level?

    Our squad is much better than we are performing this season.

    Can we discuss our defending?

    The three behind the striker don’t offer enough work rate. The full backs end up isolated and we concede plenty. Also we have zero desire as a unit to defend. Look at the second goal. For a professional team not to have players anticipating one of the best free kick takers in the league to...

    Temperature check: New manager or stick

    I’m not sure our squad is as bad as people make out. I think we don’t adjust tactics to suit our strengths and we have zero game management. As an example Conway walks into their team last night but they’re the one in the play off spots. We had a bench with internationals and current season...

    Appalling game management

    Using your bench is part of the modern game. We had enough experienced players on our bench to make positive changes after an hour.

    Appalling game management

    He is a good sub to have when leading away from home fit this reason.

    Temperature check: New manager or stick

    I don’t understand why people can’t see what benefit to sacking him there is. We can stick make a late run for the playoffs. Also, perfect chance for a manager to asses the squad in competitive games ahead of rebuilding. Carrick is making the same basic errors. We have fans, the media, ex...

    BBC Tees summed it perfectly

    how could he watch that without thinking we needed fresh legs on. He’s the only person thinking it.

    How to encourage your kids to follow the Boro

    Live games! We don’t live local so getting my 6 year old to matches isn’t always easy. He’s 6 really got into it this season. We went to Watford away last year when we won 3-2 and he caught the bug that day. His last two live games were Sheff Wed and Sunderland at home. So he’s getting used...

    Djed Spence

    I think most fans were on the same page - good talent but a bad attitude. He also didn’t want to be at Boro so we did well to get the money in.
