Pre Season Friendlies - ALL DONE - REAL FOOTBALL FROM NOW ON
sackrobson2 replied to Brunners's topic in Boro Forum
It wasn’t the strikers that had us bottom 4, certainly not the strikers we had in July. If you think that I give up. -
Pre Season Friendlies - ALL DONE - REAL FOOTBALL FROM NOW ON
sackrobson2 replied to Brunners's topic in Boro Forum
Think back to the strikers we had available this time a year ago. I’m not worried in the slightest at this stage to be honest. -
I see it’s Coulson’s turn to get slagged off. I doubt he’s going to play but if he does start I hope the boo boys at least give him a chance.
-
Ok maybe that’s not what you meant but that’s how it read. You said "integral to absolutely everything good we did last year". That does suggest we did nothing good without his involvement which is blatantly not true. that quote might be true for Carrick but definitely not Howson.
-
Yes I almost choked when I read the highlighted quote. Everyone else was just irrelevant clearly.
-
He really doesn’t. But I love how everyone sees it differently.

No

I didn’t say it was you, I don’t know who said it actually as I think I missed the actual post but saw somebody quote it. as for my “spurious” claim, it means I think he was definitely the more important player over the season and if I had to pick between them I’d pick Hackney. Just seemed a bit odd a number of people were talking about Howson like he was our best player when I don’t even think he was our best central midfielder.
-
I think CT is being a little harsh on Howson but he’s much closer to home than a post which claimed he makes the entire system work!!! He’s a decent player but for me I’d have Hackney any day of the week. Also yes he did miss the three Coventry games but we also had a bunch of key wide players missing which I think was the reason we didn’t progress, rather than Howson.

Interesting reading through all these posts on our midfielders. I think Howson had his best season for us last season but honestly before that he was a bit too Gary O’Neil for my liking, hard to really describe his strengths. if he can reproduce last seasons form then he will likely start with Hackney but he is another year older so we absolutely need to be looking to upgrade if we can. I also agree with a few posters that I worry about Hackney and Barsalar as a pair, but then I wasn’t convinced when Forss started playing out right and he proved me wrong. no idea what

Huddersfield v Boro 4-2 (Forss, Akpom)

He’s not though is he. He’s had a tough season for some reason, maybe there is something else going on, maybe some personal issue. -

For some reason Carrick seems to switch between the two. I can’t imagine he’d be a sub if he wasn’t fully fit. -

He’s on the bench. -

That is a bit of a shocker of a stat. I felt he’d done well against us but nothing like that. -
Ha ha. Johnson Howson

Swansea V Boro 1-3 (Ramsey, Archer, Akpom)
sackrobson2 replied to Downsouth's topic in Match Day Threads 2022/23 Season
I’m usually up for a change or two but I thought we were so damn good last week I’d leave it alone. We’ve had a full weeks rest so no need to change for me. Maybe a change or two midweek. -
Boro V Reading 5-0 (Chuba (2) Ramsey (2) Forss)
sackrobson2 replied to Downsouth's topic in Match Day Threads 2022/23 Season
Lumley was awful at every aspect of keeping as far as I recall. As mentioned just above we had a run of really awful keepers so it’s nice to have one who doesn’t cost us points every other week. -

sackrobson2 replied to Downsouth's topic in Match Day Threads 2022/23 Season
I think that is after McGree has already started tackling him so the “foul” has already been made. But it’s debatable the keeper had it fully under control. -
Prediction - If we beat Burnley on the Easter weekend we go second.
-
I think it was him that should have been sent off yesterday. Already booked then a shocking challenge. Subbed off before he could get sent off.

Well what a performance that was last night. This morning I wondered if I over played how good we were because of too many beers but having watched it again this afternoon I have to say we were brilliant. We seemed to always have an extra man, all over the pitch. -
Boro v QPR 3-1 (Akpom (2) McGree)

Well I’m feeling surprisingly nervous about the matches today. We’ve given ourselves an outside chance of top 2 and I’m worried it goes wrong today. 🤞🏻 -
I think we all realise it’s unlikely mate. Let the dreamers dream, it’s not impossible.
