....give the lad a contract. He had a shakey early few games, but once he got rid of the ring rust, he's been superb. He's a better all round player than Smith, who might not even be fit and back on form at the start of next year anyway. He's already assimilated into our style of play., so he...

I see he's in a spat with the England management. He's hit back via 'sources' today that the reason he won't play for england under the current management is that he doesn't get picked to start. He had a dressing down off the assistant manager and he hasn't got into the rhythm of going for...

I'm almost at the "season is written off" stage, I think there's no more than a 5% chance of promotion, injuries have hamstrung us (pun intended). So, with an eye on next year, the last two seasons have been ruined by poor poor starts, we can't do that again. What should we do in the next 14...

Went to see this tonight, a play about Southgate and his England career, very good, Joseph Fienes does a good Southgate although he does border on Frank Spencer’s occasionally, and Dervla Kirwen is looking fine still

What is the status on the injured players? Carrick is always very coy about them. Bangura - calf? 4-6 weeks? Van Den Berg - thigh? 4-6 weeks? Dijksteel - ???? Clarke - Back, 6 weeks? Forss - ???? Any inside info?

Has the Phil Stamp leak last game caught the culprit? Do we know who? Have they got the chop?

Ajax lost 3-0 at home to Feyenoord today, humbling experience for their fans. Akpom had to watch the whole thing from the bench.

I challenged chat gpt to “Take the best parts of every Middlesbrough footballer and make a perfect player”. Below are the results, discuss and make your own suggestions. Chat gpt said: Creating the perfect Middlesbrough footballer by combining the best attributes of various players would...

what do we think about the incomings (forget about who they are replacing). If you ignore keepers, as they're a different breed - we've focused left and central side of the field - exclusively within the age range of 19-24, a lot of young talent - when you add Josh in up front, that's 2...

Permanent transfer, we should be all over this shouldn't we? Far better on our Right wing than Forss in that role. Danksy should be on the blower to him.

So, this is where we're at. Coburn likely to go on loan to Plymouth. 24 man squad once Coburn goes. Space for maybe 3 more. So what do we need to finish off the squad rebuild? First team: Reserves: Plus: Coburn (loaning out), Jones, and Clarke.

...unfortunately the game is played on grass not silicone. But it's still an interesting article. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/07/championship-2023-24-season-predictions-opta/

Daniel Nkrumah from Leyton Orient. I believe some prem clubs were looking at him https://mfc.co.uk//news/2023/june/15/youngster-daniel-nkrumah-links-up-with-academy/

Great assist tonight, his vision is superb for a keeper he’s done the same putting Forss through twice recently but he didn’t score. Really important to our game and playing well making great saves too

Is he still training with the squad? I assume so. With Ramsey’s injury it looks like the five loanee rule might open the door him to be on the bench on Tuesday? Maybe it’s time to see the real Rodrigo Muniz at last

22 now. Only 11 players have had a better league total than Akpom in our history (Camsell, Clough, Fenton, McClelland, Wilson, Peacock, Elliot, O'Rourke, Pease, Hickton and Tinsley). Today he beat Slaven and McRae's best. He drew level with Brearley, Birkett and Horsfield. Just 3 more and he...

So we are at that point where the 6 pointers come to the fore. I reckon there are 9 teams that will be in the mix for play offs promotion. Yes Burnley are already up effectively. But I don't think Sheff Utd are there yet. Key points: - Burnleys record against the other top sides phenomenal...

We're now the third top scorers, and I believe we will end up the second highest scorers this year. That's some turnaround for a team that for years has struggled to hit the net. Under Carrick now we've scored 3 or more in FIVE games. We also got 4 against Wigan under Leo. To put that into...
