Looking at this season, it's poor in every formation. Looking at last season he went something like 25 games without scoring, then went on a purple patch (like Mcnulty did) then stopped scoring for some reason. Tbf to the lad, he's not been helped by this backward, sideways backwards style...

Thankyou, but it's ends not end.

I'd say he's very slightly more shit than Simms and BTA, but there's not much in it tbf. Apart from Vik we've not had a good record with strikers, we can get a decent half a season from one or other (Mcnulty, Simms and Wright) but that's about it for some reason. Wright gets shoved...

How does that happen???? They are a point ahead of us, so if they lose and we draw, we automatically have better goal difference (+1 minimum)

Ideally I'd want to keep those 3, but there's plenty of deadwood and mediocrity in the squad that I'd look to move on or release such as:- Collins Wilson Dasilva Bidwell Binks Allen (?) Raphael Simms BTA Lats (?) Paterson We have a very decent starting 11 when everyone's fit, but lose 1 or...

Dasilva is a poor defender, he got lucky when Bidwell's form plummeted and he got his place back. Same goes for Binks, he only got a look in when Thomas picked up a knock. I wouldn't be suprised if both are moved on pretty quickly now.

If Wison plays it might not be the last game of the season! That's why he MUST play.

Can't believe 16 Middlesbrough fans have gate crashed our forum!!!

But we're 12th precisely because we didn't get that extra win. 3 consecutive away defeats to 3 of the worst teams in the championship. Not good enough, and Frank has failed to address the one glaring weakness that's costing us points virtually every week.

What's your point? Are you saying Collins kept us in the game right up to the point that he didn't keep us in the game??? Because that makes zero sence.

I'm sure it's happened before, probably more times than we'd imagine, but it would have to stay confidential. MH issues can obviously affect anyone, so pro footballers arn't immune, especially in high pressure situations. There's no suggestion as far as im aware, that Collins has a MH...

Any one else think that all this negative press of Collins, as much as it's deserved, is distracting from the fact that Simms has been absolutely useless for most (if not all) of the season?

I think it's reasonable to suggest that if Collins starts, we have less chance than if Wilson starts. Based on Collins's form of late, and that is also accepting that Wilson hasn't started a competitive match for some time due to injury. It would be incredibly brave, or stupid of Lampard...

He was very good yesterday tbf, Luton bombarded the box, and had numerous corners, and yet the defence looked nailed on to keep a clean sheet until they had the rug pulled from under them by that prick in goal. (Still fuming)

Yea, as I said it should be a dead rubber, but if Collins plays, there's going to be massive anxiety everytime the ball goes near our box, That's not going to help our defenders. I just hope we play like we did against Sunderland and West Brom, and put the game to bed with no panicking.

Nonsence. There's zero fucking point in pulling of world class saves when you pull a school boy fuck up in the last minutes. Or continuously get beaten at your near post. (Twice in 3 minutes against Plymouth ffs) Or go walk about in no man's land like he did vs Burnley. Etc etc Next...

Agreed, and you have to ask why MR didn't address the GK weakness in the squad, bringing Dovin in was good, but having no competent cover is unacceptable. The same goes for RB (zero cover) and even LB where we are poor in terms of quality. Looking at the entire squad there's only around...

It would be interesting to see what he could do with the money.so far he's only added Grimes, and that was a decent addition. But we'd need to replace whoever leaves plus a GK, LB, RB and CF. And we need to offload Simms.

If we miss out we lose the backbone of the squad. MvE Rudoni Sheaf Wright Will probably all move on. That's a lot of quality we will need to replace, and replacing talent AND getting it right is quite a challenge. It won't be the end of the world as we've done similar before, but to...

Formation and tactics are completely irrelevant if you have a disaster in goal.
