The Last Boro Team To Play at SOL

Was Adama’s red card for hitting out at one of their players, who was clearly trying to wind him up?
Yep think so. But was more of an aggressive shove if anything.

Surprised we won the appeal as he definitely pushed out, but the reaction was understandable and it looked very much like an instinctive reaction to the provocation (can't remember exactly what it was now) rather than a particularly conscious reaction.

A rare instance of common sense prevailing.
 
Both Bamfords goals were absolute class. But both involved a fair bit of technical skill and they weren't headers so I suspect Pulis decided there and then he was ultimately going to get rid of him. "No place for dicky dancers in my team".
 
Randolph
Fabio Ayala Gibson Friend
Leadbitter Besic
Adama Braithwaite Downing
Bamford

That team would have walked the league.
2 terrible, terrible appointments that year
Randolph/Meijas

Shotton/Christie
Ayala/
Gibson/Fry
Friend/Fabio

Howson/Leadbitter
Clayton/De Sart
Forshaw/Baker

Adama/Harrison
Braithwaite/Bamford
Downing/Johnson

Imagine a squad where getting rid of your manager and doing away with £28m of strikers could have actually improved out situation.

£15m Assombalonga, £6m Gestede, £7m Fletcher.. GONE (Leeds wanted Gestede btw)
Daniel Farke & Nuno Esprito Santo we’re both appointed the summer we went for Garry Monk.. turning down Nigel Pearson too!
