    Is Tuesday's game on TV / red button?

    Does it make a difference that it was originally on a Saturday?

    vdB as captain

    This isn't a criticism of Rav who was probably the player who could be least criticised yesterday and he clearly is a future captain. But, the fact he was captain sums one of our problems up a bit - where are our leaders on the pitch? Howson, Smith, Lenihan, maybe Fry are big losses in that regard.

    xG

    For everyone who loves xG. That was only the 2nd time we have 'beaten' the xG to win a league game this season (the other was Swansea away) On the other hand we've lost when having higher xG 6 times (Coventry A, West Brom A, QPR H, Hull H, Rotherham A, Bristol C H) We also had the higher xG...

    Last Riverside goal December 2022. Due one.

    First goal yesterday - playing out from the back / Greenwood

    All starts with a pretty risky ball out from Glover after Greenwood cleverly drops deep to receive (he does this quite often) - he then makes a great run off Jones to receive the ball and set up the goal. Firstly, it's a great example of why we play out from the back and a direct example of a...

    Rogers is suspended for Chelsea?

    This was in another thread and I think there has been some confusion. The rules say: "If a player is shown two yellow cards throughout an individual Carabao Cup campaign, they will serve a suspension during the next match in the competition. But, the slate is wiped clean after the quarterfinal."...

    Do some of you think you might be slightly over-reacting?

    Football is a funny old game. If Jones passes to a red shirt when we had a 3-on-1 we probably win the game and everyone is raving about our recruitment etc.

    xG

    I know everyone is suspicious of xG and we were in exactly the same position last season but: Our attacking xG (5.9) is the 9th best in the division. Our defensive xG (4.0) is the 3rd best in the division. Our overall xGD (1.9) is the 4th best in the division. On Saturday we 'won' on xG 1.8...

    Team for Bolton

    I think it will be Glover v d Berg McNair Lenihan Engel Hackney Barlaser McGree Gilbert Jones Crooks I would be happy enough with that but would play Coburn instead of Crooks and probably play Silvera / Rogers instead of McGree/Gilbert. I'd also play Payero if he is likely to stay.

    Our new scholars

    Anyone know anything about them? Unlikely as the club has said nothing about them, nor even mentioned them on the website. Sunderland on the other hand had a good Twitter thread on their new scholars.

    Room21 sports bar

    Anyone visited this place in Stockton? I know it used to be Riley's - is it any good or any other suggestions for pool venues in the area?

    Fry and McNair contracts

    Plenty of talk about Akpom but these are both out of contract next summer. Are we looking to renew? If not, are we open to offers for one or either this summer? Howson, Crooks, Bola (might have an option) also out of contract at the end of the season.

    Who would our penalty takers be?

    If it goes to the horror of penalties? (assuming the same 11 that finished on Sunday finish tomorrow) Akpom McNair Forss then? McGree, Crooks? I guess Archer would take one if on the pitch.

    Boro u18s

    Watched them beat Wolves 2-1 today at the Riverside. Goals from George Grant and AJ Bridge, both assisted by Law McCabe (who was playing as a striker). Bridge was very impressive in CM, good range of passing, his free kick led to the 1st and he got into the box to tap in the 2nd. We were hanging...

    One thread per player

    I don't know how viable this is but when I was looking at Villa's forum to see what they were saying about Ramsey/Archer I noticed they basically have one large thread for each player. https://www.villatalk.com/forum/16-villa-talk/ Which is a lot neater and easier to follow than multiple...
