  1. Going back a couple of days, delighted to get Roberts in on loan. Nmecha is lesser known, but at least we have done early business, rather than wait until deadline day. It gives us another 4 weeks to focus on other targets.

     

    Don't want Randolph to go, but at the right price we should let him go. We have Pears who has come through now, and although he's not at Randolph's level yet, it makes good financial sense to sell Randolph if the money is too good to turn down.

    It's the same with Britt, although i'd like an experienced/proven replacement in.

    If they can keep going the way they are we could very well make the play offs. Maybe, just maybe, they are starting to believe.

    Hopefully. 

    This is Boro though, we've been kicked many times before, and at times this season we've woefully underperformed. 

     

    Let's hope the last four games lifts spirits and we add some new blood in the right areas in this window.

    I don't think we should go gung ho for 90 minutes but we shouldn't play like we did today for 70 minutes either. There's a happy middle ground that he needs to find. That 70 minutes has to be up there as some of the worst football we've played this year. I do give him credit for the changes and making the right subs, but had he got the tactics right from the beginning he may not have needed to change things so drastically.

    Plus he only made the changes because he had too. He was happy with a 0-0, and maybe rightly so, but he does this whoever we play away too and it's also the manner. This isn't great defending 0-0, this is desperate, hope and pray we don't concede 0-0. We caught Forest on one of their off nights, and they still should have beat us.

    It's a great point in the grand scheme of things and of course I am delighted, but make no mistake, from what i've seen we are still the most boring, negative side in the league. We have no idea going forward and the players look frightened. I don't blame Woodgate fully, and I am still on his side, because the terrible hand he was given has got worse due to injuries. The players are still locked in a Pulis mindest, and Woodgate's mentor was that very man himself.

    We have a positive point, 1 defeat in 5 is it? Equal amount of wins in the last couple of weeks than the rest of the season, but winning (grinding) 1-0 at home unconvincingly to 4 of your relegation rivals all season, should not be seen as some kind of achievement. We have injuries, but we need new faces, new ideas and new impetus.

    Oh and Adam Clayton's days in a Boro shirt should be coming to an end. I thank him for his great service and the part he played in helping us get promoted, but sorry Adam, it's back to U2 for you as your best days with us are long gone.

    We have some half decent footballers in our squad (for their respective positions) Randolph, Ayala, McNair, Howson, and some promising players in Fry, Coulson, Spence etc, but we need new blood and a change of philosophy as we play with little more than hope - hope that we can hold out, hope we get a lucky break and hope we bore our opponents to tears. Their doesn't appear to be any other gameplan other than when we go behind to chuck an attacking player on and hope we nick a point.

     

    Lots of positives with regards to results of late, but actual performances in regards to attacking play and looking like we are meant to be at this level, are leaving a lot to be desired.

    Great point, one defeat in five.....onwards and upwards to Swansea on Saturday.

    They all wanted groups to earn more money so that's the way it goes.

    I agree, but i'm thinking from a fans point of view, but then we are the last thing clubs think of.
