I think he's really enjoyed playing for us, but he is a Leeds player at heart and may wait to see if Farke is still there in a couple of weeks.Great reception for Ayling. He looks like he's loving life at the Boro. Hopefully we can do something in the summer. Wilder can keep his grubby hands off him.
That said Leeds may want him back as they are 'falling apart again'

Ayling's kids wearing Boro tops. Maybe a good sign.

So we finish 8th, 4 points off the playoffs.
If we hadn't had that horrendous crisis with injuries, I'm fairly confident we'd have made the Top 6, which given this is a "transitional" with most of the squad overhauled (as evidenced by our start to the season) it's another good campaign by Carrick considering
Should we keep most of this side (especially the key players) together for 24/25, I'm feeling optimistic about what we can achieve now that they can play much more as a unit.

Gilbert was a joy to watch in the second half
A left midfielder (winger) I thought Watfords was decent today, a defensive Midfielder, a right back (cover for Ayling)and another CF and I think we will blow the division away next season.So we finish 8th, 4 points off the playoffs.

Cheers Macc and to everybody else. It's a pleasure, and I'm looking forward to writing more in our automatic promotion season, starting in August

Absolutely agree, how this lad hasn’t played more games is baffling. He looked good in the pre-season games, perhaps it’s a confidence thing, but I hope we see much more of him next season.
I think it is more to do with him not playing at this level previously he only played for Brentford B and needed to learn the patterns of play etc and the manager mustn't of thought he was ready but he has shown recently that he has a lot to offer, some excellent passes today and the interception to stop a sure goal shows he is on board with his defensive duties too, let's hope he can push on for next year

Just watched the highlights. A bit petty given that we won pretty easily but their goal should not have stood.
The number 39 (can't be bothered to look up his name) charges into Dieng arms outstretched
Would almost definitely be disallowed with VAR but I still wouldn't want VAR.
The point I would like to make is that corners and set pieces it appears that it is admissible to foul and obstruct keepers. It used to be the case that if you breathed near the keeper the ref would blow up. It appears to have gone a bit too far the other way now. If you watch the highlights at 1:00 you will see both 39 and 3 charge into Dieng.
