Be interested to hear what Carrick has to say here, and whether Edwards will defend the cheating.
Sky won't mention it to Edwards as they don't class it as cheating, they have other terms for it.

There have been so many positives here. Mowatt and Barlaser have both had excellent games. Howson has been superb. Steffen didn't get a red for the "foul".
Archer, Jones and on and on.
Wembley, big pitch, big support, better ref (can't be worse). Bring it on.

We never score from corners

Happy with that change as well.

I'm happy. I'm still scarred by Norwich.
A loss tonight means only one thing😃
-
Can't blame the ref he must be a good 10 yards away with a totally unimpeded view.

Yes, we aren't far off a decent team and will stay that way unless Wilder pulls his finger out and does the best with what he's got at present. He clearly didn't do that today, not the first half anyway.
I hope he got his ar** well and truly kicked by Gibson. Just not good enough. If things don't change they'll stay as they as they are...
On a forum where so much *** is spouted that has to be the most profound and the most accurate statement ever.

Much more desire and battling from Boro but no shots nor chances, worrying
In spells they are playing some decent stuff and are comfortably matching Leeds. The big difference is that in the final third we are shocking and Leeds look dangerous.

We should have been out of sight in that game had it not been for Barnsleys keeper pulling off heroics, what are you talking about "undeserved" and Barnsley should feel "robbed".
We were far better that 2nd half.
Agree with this 100%. As stated above Pears had next to nowt to do tonight. Their keeper was heroic.

Now 64% possession to Barnsley. How far are we sitting back, in the stands
We're sitting so far back their keeper is going to get mom.

I thought it was a decent performance. One positive was young Pears. Didn't have much to do but what he did have he did competently, although his kicking needs to improve.
The club have said don't expect any big spending in January but if they could find a decent striker then I have no doubt the effect of someone actually providing an end product would have a positive effect on the whole team,certainly enough to finish mid-table.
The striker in question doesn't have to be an expensive world beater, just someone who is better than what we have would do, can't be that hard surely.

Love to know why nobody bothered marking on that cross. It's not like it was the 90th minute in a game we were drawing unrealistically or anything
There were two marking him, neither went with him when he went for the ball, one move central and the other stood still.

Commentator seems to think weve played 90 minutes already .
He's in for a shock when we go into the 20th minute of injury time.

The idea of bringing in another striker really does get my *** a bit nippy that Britts off, but in retrospect, I'm more thankful that it looks nailed on that Randolph is staying tbh
A poster on FMTTM has just put up a link to the club shop and it turns out that you can no longer buy a shirt with his name on it. His name is there but greyed out and not active. Coincidence?

If you reckon you have a story, how about telling it?
My understanding is that Gibbo and his brother fell out after Steve blocked Ben leaving. He wanted him to stay for a season, which he did and after that he was off to the highest bidder. Whether or not there is any residue I have no idea but I was also led to believe that Ben's dad "retired" from Bulkhaul over it.

Agree that the stadium looks empty however keep this up and the Brum game will be very different
A bloke on another site is complaining that he couldn't get in with his ST card. Had four goes at re-activating it but failed each time with the queues of people in a similar situation getting larger all the time. He's at home watching it now and not happy.
I wonder how many more didn't get in?

I read it as we're not bothered enough to get involved in a bidding war and we won't be manipulated into it.
I don't. As I read earlier that bids had been accepted by both clubs. So I'm taking it for lazy Journalism.

@reluctantnicko
BRISTOL CITY. Trying for a Bryan auction. Villa in at 4 and extras. Boro don’t seem bothered. Derby idea was a swap so probably rules out. Newcastle were hoping he would be cheaper. And need to spend elsewhere.
- Sums our window up^
So we haven't bid for Bryan then? Is that what you are saying?

FREEMAN TALKS END
We reported earlier today that Middlesbrough have made an enquiry for QPR’s Luke Freeman.
But talks appear to have ended abruptly, with one club source insisting the midfielder is not leaving Loftus Road in this window.
Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes also insisted on Twitter earlier this week that Freeman is “not for sale”.
http://www.skysports.com/transfer-centre
Their chairman is already getting grief from their fans so this might be a ploy. Walk away, state again that he's not for sale, we come in with a stupid amount (as is our wont) and then he can turn round and say "well we wanted to keep him but boro just blew us away with the amount they offered"
Alternatively, he might not be for sale.

I wouldn't give Sunderland the steam off my proverbial, and wish nothing but evil for them, but I have to say that my dislike for Luton grows by the minute. They are such a dirty team and I can't find much joy in them winning at all.
