Teacider

I'd like 5o see us switch wingbacks for 10 mins, just do something different to give them something to think about

Did connelly sleep with everyone's partner on here or something? Everyone has been crap so far, he's no worse than many others

We won't end this game with 11 men on the pitch

We look v.scared of their speed on the counter so we're creeping forward at snails pace then misplacing a pass... nowhere near enough movement going forward so far

Agreed that he seems like a good personality, not sure he'll fit a Wilder system though, it's been a while but weren't most of his better performances playing out wide?

Yeah I know, I just try to keep in mind how much of a minority they are... it is tough though!

I start to think the same, but imagine if our whole fanbase was judged based on a few social media idiots and FMTTM... it wouldn't be a fair summary and it's likely the same for them too, but this really has brought out the worst of them!

They all of a sudden seem to care of confidentiality of information, which is again strange given they claim to have known all the details of our claim against them and how frivolous it is... their forums seem to have doublethink down to a fine art!

With Gibson and Ashley being friends I could see them having an agreement in place already and wait till last minute to try and get Ashley the best deal... pure speculation of course!

Either way the result isn't good, I feel for the loyal Derby fans (not so much the ones on the forums or twitter) but if they are saved due to media attention then I feel bad for the Bury, Macclesfield etc. fans who didn't get the help too... way too much inconsistencies

The hilarious thing on the DCFC forums is that our legal bid is both completely frivolous and will be thrown out in a minute and at the same time the key thing that is holding up any bidders from submitting a bid... there's no sense that both things can't be true

Throw in a sell on clause for good measure too!

Boro fans have been immense tonight... massive credit to all those there!

Don't let facts get in the way of a good moan!

It's back up now, you're not missing much though!

What comments have come out from players? I've not seen anything

Not seen such speculation outside of a transfer window for ages... just waiting for payero to admit it was all a massive troll-job now and that would cap it all!

Payero vs Gazette... there's only one way to find out who wins.... fiiiiiigggghhhttt!

I can't see it at all - think it's all rumours that have taken hold tbh

I don't disagree but with Pulis we gambled on him getting us up with no plan B, at least this time we know we have a new direction coming

It's not quite the same though, there are clear signs of where the club wants to go this time, it's clearly a transition year and yes that's frustrating as a fan but this feels different to when Pulis was here

What statement could they make that would help here? Their aims for this season have to be finish as high as possible, aim for the playoffs (we know it won't happen but how could they say anything else?) And beyond? We all know Warnock won't be here after this season but the club can't publicly say that or it puts him in an unworkable position, and what else could they say to help? (plus I don't think many clubs publish statements like that and I've never known boro to do it!)

Let's face it no-one knows anything but the speculating and guessing is about the only fun thing about being a boro fan right now!

Is it shameful though? Which part exactly? He's signed for a club and started 2 of first 12 games or so, not ideal but hardly shameful. We also have no idea what expectations were given to him about playing time when he first arrived.
