    The core squad to build around next season

    Dieng Van Den Berg Clarke Fry Lenihan Hackney Howson Mcgree Azaz Latte Lathe Jones Forss And a few others who could develop and stake their claim. These, plus a few more quality additions and a lot more luck with injuries and we’re on to something good.

    Championship Table - A different view

    Don’t worry, I’ve not gone full Woodgate. Just thought it might be interesting to take a different view of the table, by point accrued by Boro against each team. I’ve had this perception that we’ve done well against the higher up teams this season and rubbish again those at the bottom, but now...

    Engel Appreciation Thread

    Chuffed for the lad getting an excellent goal tonight. I know he’s not everyone cup of tea, but the lad puts in his absolute maximum effort. He covers so much distance in the game, is much quick to pass the ball then many of the rest of the team, never gives up in a defensive battle and he...

    Sam Greenwood

    Admittedly I wasn’t close to it in the stadium but looked like a pretty clear and bad off the ball elbow to Clucas that caused him to go down in a heap. Was it as bad as it looked? Potential for retrospective ban?

    Player Contract Extensions

    Chance to play a bit of fantasy football management, below is a list of permanently contracted players, when their contract runs until and their current age. There’s always a cost to extensions through signing on fees etc… but who would you like to see get a contract extension? The two that...

    Recent Boro Managers Comparison

    A quick comparison of our recent managers win %, highest finish in a season where they were in charge for the majority of game, and highest finish in the cup. For me it just shows how lucky we are to have Carrick in charge, and although it’s been an up and down season, we need to keep backing...

    Average Boro Players Who Could Have Been Great Under Carrick

    I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking there’s a good few players we’ve had in recent times who would have been better had we played a different style or had a different manager at the time. Couple that come to mind as having been average but could have been great if they played for us in the last...

    Labour Housing Plans

    Interesting to see the emphasis Starmer is putting on house building as part of his plans. I can’t help but feel just ‘bulldozing through’ the planning system is going to help though. Housing developers need to be more heavily regulated and incentivised to build what they can at a pace. At the...

    How to maximise the atmosphere on Wednesday

    I think we are all hoping Wednesday will be electric and akin to the Brentford play off and Brighton games. Anyone got any thoughts on what we can do as fans to get the riverside bouncing as much as we can? I’ll be getting there a good 20 minutes earlier than usual to try and join in any...

    Riverside Atmosphere

    What did anyone make of it last night? I thought it was fantastic in short spells, but overall it never really clicked consistently. Having large breaks in play doesn’t really help. The south stand now splitting into two singing sections is also making it a bit more difficult. Credit for...

    Goals Scored

    Hopefully a slightly different take to other threads about how well Carrick and co and doing this season. I’ve never known a season for scoring like it. We’ve scored 3 in a game 11 times this season, I’d love to know how many previous seasons combined it would take to make that level. We’ve...

    Strikers We Had Between Slaven and Akpom

    Just to put into context of how much of a fantastic achievement Chuba has achieved, check out the list of strikers we’ve had between him and the last player to get 20 league goals. Some of my all time favourite boro players on this list who never even came close. So much money spent and it’s the...

    Squad Value For Money

    Thought it was worth a thread to discuss the recruitment and how the squad at the moment looks so much better value for money than in previous years. Todays starting eleven below to me seems like a bargain compared to previous years, albeit we don’t know what fees were paid for loans, or how...
