* The Unofficial "official" [no smartphone required] - Boro v Bradford Match Night thread *

Think that lineup is to be expected when we have another friendly in a few days time.

Has Bilongo played left back at all this preseason? If he hasn’t, pretty much confirms that he’s not seen as one given the lack of depth there.
Played there against Hartlepool. Was woeful
 
There will be a strong team on Saturday, so most today wont be starting on Saturday bar maybe Coulson unless Giles signs tomorrow 😉
 
Just my opinion.No comment from the club either way.Good luck to the lad if he gets a good contract elsewhere.Contributed to a great season last year and I for one dont begrudge him making a few bob.Would love him to stay but if not hey ho we move on.
 
Akpom or the club must be saving themselves for something (either sold, sign a new contract or see out the final year). Maybe waiting to see if we get an acceptable offer before the window closes. Not ideal as we have 6 or 7 games before then. Ideally he should be available (if fit) and play for us until he gets either sold or doesn't.
I'm sure he's genuinely injured, it makes no sense for him to miss so much of pre season; if he's fit come the kick off he's in the team and any potential new club will want him fit come the first game too.
