A beacon light in a terrible sh*tshow

[BoroMart]

Was thinking the other day, this is about as good as we can realistically expect from a Boro team and I’m going to really enjoy it while it lasts.

Scoring for fun, can we beat our top scoring season (is it 77 in the 70’s)?

NO we can't it was 122 goals in 1926-27, I don't think we'll trouble that haha

We haven't scored more than 80 at this level since 62-63 when we scored 86 goals, that's a realistic target at the current scoring rate.

Robson - Pop Art (naturally)
McClaren - De Stijl (of course)
Southgate - Cubism
Strachan - Lowbrow
Mowbray - Renaissance
Karanka - Baroque
Monk - Naïve
Pulis - Brutalist
Woodgate - Minimslism
Warnock - Romanticism
Carrick - Abstract Expressionism

Wilder?

He’s achieved nowt yet and it was only Swansea.

Sorry, just getting this in in case we now lose ten on the bounce and it’ll look like I saw it coming.

Wilder?

Who?

We had a spell of 8 wins and 2 draws, plus FA CUp wins vs Mansfield and Man Utd that was very good. A 10 week spell, where it looked like we might be hitting the jackpot with Wilder. The lst 16 league games and the first 11 this season were however terrible.

He had 10 good weeks and 42 average to poor weeks as Boro managers. You can only tell the full story after the event and it's clear that the wheels fell off and he didn't have the man management skills or tactical flexibility to rescue the situation. He clearly had the players available to do far far better as Carrick has proven.

Nicely put and am pleased that you didn’t mention the Burnley situation as I feel that had little to do with it. He turned out to be a poor man manager. Period.
