Both these players have their strengths, but neither has the game to play defensive midfield. That was the main problem yesterday and against Bristol. We try and play out from the back and the ball doesn't stick in central midfield, but comes back to their forwards. We then find ourselves...

Not very impressed with him so far. Looks slow and doesnt offer much going forward, Got beaten too often by their winger. He was at fault with the Rotherham goal. Admittedly its early days and new players need time to bed in, plus he has some reputation, so the jury is out. Would prefer...

A fairly devastating decision, but the court pulled its punches on ordering interim measures. South Africa wanted the court to order an immediate ceasefire and the end of military activity in Gaza. Instead the court ordered Israel to take all measures to prevent acts of genocide. The problem...

The main problem yesterday was the absence of Jones. If he had been fit we could have played a proper 5 at the back formation. Instead Carrick was forced to play a weird compromise which meant that Howson would fall back into the back line on an ad hoc basis. This didn't work. To be...

https://therealefl.co.uk/2024/01/22/middlesbrough-legend-makes-shock-league-cup-claim/ Club legend Fabrizio Ravinelli, who scored 23 goals in just 45 matches for the club, has full faith that his former side can reach the final. “I think we have a big chance because Middlesbrough at this...

When you think about it, being cup-tied is nonsense. Players are not league-tied and the league is more important than the cup. Bout time they got rid of it.

Engel went over to Greenwood to acknowledge his pass and congratulate him, but Greenwood ignored him and brushed him off..........wtf?

From Wikipedia: "The North stand backs on to the River Tees and at the back of the Stand is some of the vocal support is housed, and thus is also known as the New Holgate End in reference the Holgate End at Ayresome Park, where the similar vocal supporters were located." One third empty...

Not been very impressed with him the last few games. He looks slow and gets caught in possession too often. Not surprised that Carrick is hooking him early.

When teams get men behind the ball we run out of ideas in the final third. We just pass the ball sideways and backwards - sometimes the ball even goes back to the keeper! You would think that we would have devised some plays to get through a packed defence - even a simple one two could do it -...

We outplayed them the whole game apart from about a 15 minute spell in the first half. Yes they had 10 men in the second half, but 10 men can be difficult to play against if they play it right. The Black Cats just fell apart. I dont see them challenging for promotion.

The boy is coming good and the ball is going in the net. Great composure in front of goal to score having run half the length of the pitch.

Given their recent form I was expecting them to give us the run around, but all they did was sit back and let us have the ball, while showing very little attacking intent. After our first goal I thought now they will have to come out and have a go, but they didnt. Well organised defensively is...

Worst performance so far this season.. embarrassing

Looking forward to seeing Latte Lath and Engles do their stuff. Our season begins now.

I was hoping we would keep Chuba and Gibbo would splash the cash in a dash for promotion. It is clear now that is not going to happen. Instead the club is investing in promising young players and looking to build for the medium/long term under Carrick. That being the case everyone should calm...
