Boro Badger

Well said Sir. And also well said Sir!

I’m not getting too disheartened tonight. Warnock doesn’t want to win this. He’s clearly not up for this one. He can’t even be by the side of the pitch. He’s also demonstrating how few options we have to Gibson and Bausor. Maybe they’re not moving enough on Warnock’s targets and he’s making a point. Putting Coulson RWB smacks of ‘well, I gave him a chance...’. That is the most disappointing thing about this match for me. We’ll be much better at 3:00pm Saturday I promise (hope) 😅

I wonder if he’ll try his favourite 433 formation, with Bola left back and Coulson further up the pitch. With this condensed season and our light squad, I don’t think Warnock particularly fancies an EFL cup run. I don’t think he fancies Coulson anywhere near the defence either. Think this will be a pre-season style match where he’ll try and find out more about our fringe players while the window is still open.

Was just listening in to the chat between Gibson, Bausor and Warnock in the bar at Rockliffe Hall. Warnock is getting a one year contract. Woodie is going to be assistant, doing all the oranges at half time. Anyone with transfer value is going to have their contracts run down. Anyone who has no value will have their contracts extended, if they are good lads about it. The plan next year is to sue every other club in the league for FFP infringements and get promoted with 30 points. All away wins. Other than that, Bausor is looking forward to his happy meal on the way home.

Different animal with the energy of Tav and Roberts in the team. Friend was different class. UTB

Quite like the look of the line up. Worth a try. 3-2 Boro.

UTFB!!! That is more like it.

And therein lies the point... We’re in book balancing mode for the foreseeable. Mowbray v2.0. Yes, a better/more experienced manager could get us higher up the table, but not top two or winning the playoffs with our unbalanced squad. Hopefully by the summer this ‘clear out’ project will nearly be done and we can look forward to rebuilding. Soon we’ll be able to attract a talented manager by offering a decent transfer budget. In the meantime it’s going to be rough.

Ravelinho has arrived. Reckon he’ll do alright for us like.

Thanks for the info as always. To me this feels like a classic Boro ‘we tried, but couldn’t get it over the line’ deal. Sounds like too little too late... but hoping for the best.

Leeds’ link to Britt just had to be agent talk and never serious...

Let’s remember this is MFC recruitment... we’re nailed on to sign another CM to play CB 😆

I feel Dyche has too much ego to let Gibson go without us paying through the nose for him. For me the only way this gets over the line is if it’s a Steve Gibson special - an ‘undisclosed fee’ that he’s magicked up from somewhere on the last day of the window after Ben Gibson refuses every other option. Should go to the wire this one!

I had to sit with the Pompey fans at Fratton Park and my ‘mate’ lifted up my hoodie to reveal the Boro shirt underneath. Had to make a quick exit 😄
