    We've realised teams are high pressing us cos we play from the back so mixing it up a bit to make opposition have to think a bit more?

    Expected Hamer back but don't like Kelly not playing. If he wasn't fit enough why not take him off against Blackburn and save him for this game as that one had looked to have gone. Not overly concerned about O'Hare dropping to the bench - he seems to be more impressive from there anyway and...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Until it's confirmed I'm not assuming anything anymore. I think Trump will hold a marginal lead on the night due to the large amount of mail in ballots, at which point he will attempt to claim victory and that postal ballots etc are fraudulent. Wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of votes go...

    90mins for the U23 is a whole different intensity to first team.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It's almost amusing how Johnson has been talking for months about vaccines and technology coming through then just a week or so ago said he didn't think a vaccine would be available for some time and now many of the experts seem to be suggesting it might be. Not to say that it will materialise...

    I'm sure they could get some if they wanted to. £1 a carrot, £10 a burger type thing (all overseen by Dido Harding of course)

    It's a mindset that once you've gained as much as you can in terms of getting more the only way you can 'win' is by making others get less. It's a fucked up mentality yet it's one that is by nature prevalent in the rich and thus influential in the corridors of power.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I understand buying in excess given we were caught with our pants down at the start having ignored Cygnet, but to have bought nearly 60 times the amount we've supposedly used is excessive, and certainly totally unnecessary under 'emergency contracts' which avoid scrutiny. They could be bought...

    u Of course it would be, or at least in the first half of it, but Johnson seems obsessed with popularity. However, it's weird the stuff he'll leak to gauge opinion on first yet feeding needy kids out of term time, which hardly anyone would say isn't a worthy cause, is a hill they're (so far)...

    I agree. It seems like a lot of the worst problems, esp now, were largely avoidable with strong leadership and sensible, albeit probably unpopular, action to contain it. Instead this fear of being unpopular, slavish preoccupation with economics ahead of public health and determination to give...

    Man beheaded in Paris

    Spat between France and Turkey seems wholly unnecessary and it seems some hardline Islamic people are now trying to, ironically, follow the stance of Netanyahu of Israel with Judaism of wanting to ban any kind of Islamophobia but that description appears to be any criticism of Islam or n Islamic...

    Death List 2020

    I was thinking "isn't Stirling Moss already dead?" Have those occassionally. I swear Ruth Rendell died about four times.

    Michael Rose

    It wasn't a harsh sending off - it was correct according to the laws of the game. Rose should know that, let the man go and hope Marosi makes the save. Even if he'd lunged in with his feet he'd have got away with a yellow as the ref was likely to interpret it as a genuine challenge, esp early in...

    Given the city of culture will be predominantly next season I think that's unlikely.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    As we can't decide whether to have two ACM's or two forwards can they flit between the two? ie sometimes having Godden come a bit deeper to challenge for the ball while Walker plays off the last man trying to get in behind?

    Agree with the players but I might stay with the box formation and try either Sheaf or Hamer next to O'Hare.

    Stay calm it’s a long season

    I think we've had a few niggly small injuries this season that haven't helped getting a settled team, matched with some stupid suspensions. It made a big difference last season and the L2 season that we improved when we had a settled side and didn't get many injuries to disrupt that momentum.
