    I think 11 is as good as it could be - I would hope for between 8-11 points

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 1st Jan

    Boro down to bare bones and lost McGree (who I thought was their best player against us last season) as well now to the Asia Cup. I fancy us to get a win

    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    It is concerning. Sheaf is outstanding but he’s going to be a tired man in a couple of months. I’d try Lati alongside him when Kitching is in. As others have said I’d consider a back four (in possession at least), with Lati, Sheaf and Allen in the middle. Lati could hold and effectively move...

    Doug on CWR

    We've signed a load of young players on four year deals, who are going to be here next season too (and most the one after that), and will all have improved individually and as a team. If it's a case that we'd be risking wasting the money by overpaying I'd rather we keep the money in the bank...

    Transfer Rumour David Brekalo

    Ah I take that back then, sounds like we’ve got a great chance based on that

    Transfer Rumour David Brekalo

    Think that’s through sky blue tinted spectacles! Obviously they could go down and we could go up, but he’s not moving there for life. It’s a decision between PL football and Championship. No brainer

    Apparently getting Davis for £1m - absolute bargain

    Transfer Rumour Yasin Ayari

    Excited by this one. Could be a real difference maker for us

    Hamer

    I think he’s immediately their best player. However it’s hard to stand out at that level in a crap team.

    Hamer

    Don’t think it’s that common, especially if you’ve only had a year playing in the PL. Lot of pressure to quickly adapt to the level and stand out, all in a side that gets relegated.

    Hamer

    Surely there’s a significant risk that he ends up back in the championship with three years left on his deal? If it’s the only offer he had, then it’s the right one - PL opportunity and more money, but he could definitely find himself marooned back in the championship in 12 months.

    Josh Eccles

    Though being a competent player, like many I’ve been underwhelmed by Eccles to this point. I’ve always felt as though there was a lack of confidence, as though he didn’t believe he was good enough. Thought that first half was his best 45 minutes for us. Was genuinely superb (as he was last week...

    Boro ratings

    Sheaf was just superb. Won the ball countless times and his driving runs were superb. Wright is going to be a fantastic player for us, he looks another level physically, and the early goal will settle him.

    Hamer

    Come on man, he was fine at the end of last season, but he’s clearly not someone we can rely upon as first choice.

    Hamer

    Yep we definitely need two CMs in (I don’t want Kelly being relied on too often) and we need to focus on this being a 2-3 year project.

    Hamer

    Ultimately he’d outgrown us - he’s a premier league player and then some. Good luck to him, what a contribution he’s made here.

    Hamer

    Bit much - they’ve just had 3 years in the Prem, and objectively a huge club. Plus money is obviously a massive part of it, I don’t know anyone thinks it isn’t. If we offered him 40k a week, he’d sign.

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    It’s the horrible error by Panzo that leads to that, he had a bit of good fortune for sure. These things happen though, players are only human, he hadn’t played a lot, was probably very nervous, and in a position where you’re very exposed if you dawdle on the ball. As others have said, great...

    If we keep Hamer I think we’re seriously in the conversation for automatics. We are absolutely going for it.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Yeah but clearly for there to be interest, it's a positive thing. Especially given they're all a level above where we are.
