    What a waste of talent and opportunity.

    Sugar Ray Leonard was some fighter. He was World champ in 5 categories.

    Formations in 90s/00s to now

    We played with five at the back, more often than not, under Robson. 5 2 1 2, when TLF arrived. Probably before, with Higgy and Barmby up top. Edit not 5 3 1 2 🤣

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Hull [04/24] Match-Day Thread *

    I’m disappointed, but not unhappy with tonight. I thought we did well, that they were good. It was a stupid second goal, but on balance at any other time in the season it’s a good point. If we miss out, it wasn’t tonight that cost us. It was a season full of injuries.

    Yep. And I’m on her side!

    A decent effort. Hull are a good side and had long passages of play where they dominated. Awful error for their second goal. We go again.

    Just happy to be playing games with something at stake at this stage of the season. Desperately hoping to be wrong about our chances 🙂

    David Hodgson - Under the Cosh

    I think some of those who benefited from his generosity found it came with a few strings attached, too. He wasn't a good guy, sadly.

    David Hodgson - Under the Cosh

    Enjoyed that. He is absolutely right about George Reynolds being a wrong-un. I had a bizarre impromptu meeting with him once and had several dealings with him when he was having a new private office/penthouse built in Shildon at his factory. Definitely a character, who could be pretty nasty.

    Luke Thomas

    I like them both too. It’s early in my opinion. MC’s opinion is the one that counts. I defer too. 🙂

    Luke Thomas

    Has he seen enough to know? If we based all recruitment decisions on new player’s first seasons, we would have historically rejected a lot of players who went on to do well. Edit: apostrophe, because I’m a d*ck about that stuff sometimes…

    The end?

    For now. To be honest Macron has a long way to go to make up for his early appeasement of VP.

    Luke Thomas

    I thinks that’s absolutely right. We can’t have 3 left backs vying for a first team spot, when we’re short elsewhere (strikers)

    Take care mate. They’ve diagnosed and got you safely in their care now. You’ll be okay mate

    What was the best match you've seen as a neutral?

    Would love to have seen that. Love it!

    Luke Thomas

    I think Engel may have started out as a striker. I think I read that somewhere… I don’t think Engel is naturally a wing back, or at least needs to play with more composure and less instinct. Edit. He was a left winger at Velje.

    Luke Thomas

    I like Engel, but he needs more composure with the ball. I wonder how he would get on in a Jones role, with Thomas behind him. If Engel is going to misplace a pass occasionally, I’d rather he wasn’t the last man when he did it.

    Is Riley McGree that good?

    I don’t think McGree was choosing his games, to favour his international role at all. The initial foot injury occurred during a match where he came off injured, even indicating that the underside of his foot was being a problem, as he left the pitch. It’s known to be an awkward injury to cure...
