I've often wondered why Eston, Grangetown, South Bank, most of Ormesby, Normanby and Teesville get lumped in with Redcar in the first place tbh. Most from there, especially Ormesby and South Bank, consider themselves as from the Boro rather than Redcar, which is a good deal further away...

So at this point last season, the bottom of the clubs to drop were a point worse off than Luton (3rd bottom this time and a good bit clear of Burnley beneath them) The other 2 were 4 and 5 points better off than Luton, respectively. I know I'm like a scratched record, but it's perhaps no...

Sorry if it's been said before, but "Come as you are" by Nirvana.

Snap on both counts, the old "You wouldn't be where you are without the Boro..."👍

Yep, 4 teams for 90 plus points is still on...😁

I didn't think at the start of the season we'd get the autos, not through who we'd brought in (as I hadn't seen them even play together then and couldn't judge) but more to the fact that the team had had such wholesale changes right through it and would have to learn to play together in...

Would oil be involved in this fight you'd cough up for?🤔

In these enlightened "regular gender re-assignment" times that may not stand for that much longer.🤔

Ah well, I've just checked their "Championship Treatment Room of the Season" section and you'll all be pleased to know that THAT team has half a dozen Boro lads in it. 👍

I'd concur with this. Perhaps the autos could be thus "threatened" in a normal season. However THIS time out, it seems you may well need over 90 points just to make the top FOUR😯 (See my other thread about the battle at the top which went by the wayside🤣) Not a sniff with that stat, though I'd...

Don't all jump on at once mind.😛

Seemingly no one is desperate right now for those two autos places (Yes, I'm aware they also have a good amount of thwarting going on by the Mighty Boro 😁) However, you would still fancy all of Ipswich, Leicester and Leeds to get at least 3 points from their remaining fixtures. Southampton had...

I don't think he'd be able to pick up a Bus-sized banjo to hit it with in the first place tbh.

Oh, some of them certainly aren't. Of the 3 you've mentioned; Engel isn't perfect, but I'd say he's decent enough for a promotion chasing side mind. Works his socks off, creates a fair bit, makes some important blocks too. It doesn't help him that he doesn't have anyone who offers any...

The horrific start to the season after we had practically a team of strangers getting used to each other cost us the autos. The injury crisis cost us the playoffs.
