Really pleased for Chuba, I did not expect to see him in a Boro shirt again and he's one of the best since the Marseille friendly. Then there's Giles .. both have been fantastic. Gutted he scored his own goal, typical!
If true that Wilder has said he wants to keep Chuba and he won't be getting sold, then it is going to be interesting to see how it goes for him
Other than that, though. I am worried about a couple of things, still .. it's obvious Lenihan coming in has not started well, and with Fry in and out the side, what is going on here?? He went off at half-time today. I would be concerned if the likes of Fry left and we are left with Lenihan/McNair/Dijksteel/Bola .... we certainly need vast improvement in that area. I was expecting more from Lenihan and think he's been, well, not good enough.
I hope Larsen's temper tantrum in his post-game interview today finally gets his club to give in and accept an offer from us so that would be one position filled .. just let him go ffs!
I am looking forward to seeing what Mowatt brings to us .. hopefully, he will help us fill a hole as in midfield at the moment, it's clear we're fragile since the loss of Tav. The jury is still out on McGree, for me, like. Hopefully, he keeps developing and gets used to the pace and strength of things.
So frustrating so far, though. Seeing the quality of the balls/service Giles has been providing is first-class. If we get the quality of players we want before the window closes who can link up with him, and get on the end of his crosses, I hope we climb the table fast.
A slow, grinding start to the season, so far. Frustrating in this heat!!
Another thing. Had Berge to score 1st today then got locked out of my 365 account accidentally. Obviously, he goes and scores in 3 mins.. I was steaming ... WNKERS!
