I dont disagree What was more concerning last night was the actual performance. We didn't play bad against you or Oxford for that matter, last night we looked tired and i mean the majority of players. Passing was slow and players looked backwards rather than forwards which has been one of our...

Morning I hate football That is all

Our squad is on the thin side. We do have good cover options but have also been hit with a number of key injuries. We are managing both Fry and Mcgree' return and Alfie Jones is still out. In attack, its usually been Strelec on the bench along with Sene and now Sarmiento and Castledine are...

Im expecting both teams to score. Hopefully we get ahead early, we need a bit of a reaction. Longer its 0-0 more the nerves set in. Swear, its crazy how much things change in this league week to week.

As do we. A lot of us have said for a while the home games in the run in are massive because we do on paper have some very tricky away games, made to feel somewhat harder due to all being on TV. Oxford at home was not the best start and we have Leicester tomorrow. These two felt very...

well that was a tough watch. Oxford must have set a new record for the amount of blocks on Saturday - fair play, they executed their game plan very well and you could argue they had the better chances having hit both the crossbar and post. I think if we where still playing now we wouldn't have...

I personally feel more of a rivalry with Sunderland. Further Ipads post, when Newcastle basically killed the trade in Sunderland a lot them headed south to Teesside and ICI for work. We have a place calling Billingham where ICI was located and there is a very percentage of Sunderland fans...

All fan bases are the same We have those that cant handle a defeat and what to find anything to throw at the opposition We all have those social media idiots We all have those young lads who hide behind the invisible fence Thankfully, we all have and in the majority normal/realistic and...

Well i would also add hitting the post although it was a shot from nothing. We had a great chance but McGree put hardly any power on it and straight at the keeper and also Sene the ball was at his foot about 1 yard out and he decided to well do nothing. Maybe not clear cut but the type of...

Some balanced views. The difference between Hellberg and Carrick is the defensive side. Granted last night wasn/t great defensively, on the whole its worlds apart. Ayling has stepped into the middle when both Fry and Jones (Our best defender) got injured. Most teams sit back against us so...

Well done on the victory. I honestly dread playing you. I thought first half you where the better team. I expected you to start how you did but your pressing and closing down really stopped us getting into any rhythm. The few times we did get hold of the ball our passes where over hit or under...

Exactly this Even a six game winning streak all i can think of is the next loss. Its a terrible attitude but hard to shift after years of 'typical Boro' kicking you up the backside.

Morning All Bricking it That is all

We are enjoying this current run and some of the performances that have gone with it. Its been a while since we didn't have an obvious weakness costing us and causing frustration most weeks. Nobody is getting carried away. I don't care about finishing 1st or second i just want to increase the...

Mixed emotions already on this one. Part excited, part dread. I certainly did not expect us to be going into this game ahead of you but the recent poor record at your place still hangs over us. It would be the best time to break that run. Your drop in form has to end at some point as does...

You aren't wrong. Stoke first half was the worst we have played all season and West Brom was a dreadful game despite the scoreline suggesting a classic. The last two have been better and its good to win when playing bad. Its 5 wins on the bounce, obviously now the dread is that has to end at...

Looking at our Feb games Sheff United (A) - They have won the last 7 home games Coventry (A) - We just don't beat you Oxford (H) - Must win Leicester (H) - New manger could get them going That then leads us into two away games at Brum and QPR. On paper our remaining away games look very...

Desperate to be in the conversation. Bricking it being in it. A great run and dreading that first defeat. Two very tough away fixtures coming up. Would love 4 points

You certainly where not wrong about that game. As soon as Sky put the image up that they hadn't come from behind to win since playing you in January 2025 you just knew what was happening. As much as we want to be at the top, its an absolute nightmare. The dread of every game. Still lots of...

Awful those teams that no matter how you are doing or they are, they still beat you. In this division for thats Bristol City and more recently yourselves - albeit you have just been better than us to be fair. Bristol could be rock bottom and id still fancy them. It was Stoke until the last...
