    I need a little help seeing the positive.

    I think Fry/Clarke/Lenihan/VDB is kind of an ideal 4 centre backs. We disagree about Engel - who I think will be really good next year after a full year here. Also can't see how an out of contract Ayling could command high wages - but I do think one RB fitting our model of young with chance to...

    Lewis O'Brien wants to stay

    I think he has shown all the attributes at times. Decent tackles, interceptions, good cover positioning Decent driving runs and passing. Occasional runs in behind/link up out wide. He showed these more often with Huddersfield. But it hasn't fully come together. I think like Jonny - he...

    I need a little help seeing the positive.

    I look at the squad after the final day. Gk: Dieng, Glover (a positive) RB: Smith (number 1 place to be adressed) CB: VDB, Fry, Lenihan, Clarke (a positive) LB: Engel, Bangura (I think they will be good enough following a full pre-season) CM: Hackney, Barlaser. (Needs work) AM3: Jones...

    La Liga to start playing league matches in the USA.

    I'm not especially pro this idea - but I am also less against it than others are when it comes up. I've always been massively pro the good sides of globalisation. When I was 8, I wrote an article dreaming of a single federal Europe in the future. Bringing together the best of all these places...

    So if we have to sell one player in the summer...

    I think it depends on who we have an eye on to come in. I can't believe Hackney's value is anywhere near what people are quoting after a relatively poor injury ravaged season. I still believe he will end up a top class prem player - but I doubt we would get anything much for him this summer. I...

    Doncaster

    I work in Donny - went to see them a little while back when it was an international break. They have won every game since. Their winger Adelakun - has looked an absolute class above everyone else in league 2 since signing in Jan - was amazed that he is on loan after not cutting at Lincoln...

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    Silvera got in behind and played a great cross to Azaz at the back post. He was constantly moving and looking to link up. I honestly feel people watch a different game.

    The core squad to build around next season

    I'd add the two left backs - Bangura and Engel should be given a chance. And I think Coburn is good enough to be in a promotion chasing squad.

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    I am always surprised at the game people see. There was a question about Carrick's favourites on another thread - and all I can see here is people confirming the view they already had independent of what happened. I can't see how O'Brien or Silvera can be criticised for tonight. I've always...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    I thought they were pretty terrible all game. A lot of "look at me" decisions. I also would like to see all three of their first half goals again. - Gnonto definitely offside. - Bamford borderline - And I swear one of their players was a mile off in the lead up to the penalty (which is a...

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    Dijksteel unsurprisingly rusty. The rest were not bad. Silvera had a decent shot from 25 yards that could have easily nicked a deflection, good quick feet at the start of Lath's first. Great run and cross that got to Azaz at the back post. O'Brien also had some decent play. Thomas didn't...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    Superb game. Lost to a ridiculous offside... I'd be furious if I was Ipswich. Also - they wasted 2 minutes in injury time and the ref added... 5 seconds. Some stupid mistakes from a rusty back up right back, and Clarke who is mostly superb. We have grown so much over the past few months -...

    Can't complain about makems doing peado chants

    I think bringing up a man that did horrendous things to people and got away with it for years is in pretty terrible taste. You might call me soft, but I hate most "banter". Used to hate every time we played in Liverpool and our fans would sing about poverty. I like people and can enjoy...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    Silvera shows great quick feet early in the move for the second goal. Decent shot. Also a really good turn that set us up for an attack. Lost it cheaply once.

    This is the way to see it for me.

    F*CK VAR

    I think Bamford is possibly off as well. Similar margins to the cov goal at the weekend. The more I watch it the more I think Dijksteel is a little unlucky for the penalty - he gets beaten but he doesn't make a challenge Rutter moves in front of him and their legs tangle

    Silvera had some really nice touches. Jones, Azaz and Lath all playing well

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    Dijksteel keeps a good line. Even though he has struggled so far. He is a yard offside.. Clarke also making a lot of mistakes

    F*CK VAR

    It's ridiculous that Leeds could go up with a decision like that. The commentator blames Dijksteel but he keeps a good line...
