  1. How did that actually come about with you Humpty? Did you contact the club first or did they track you down from some social media posts?
  2. I think McLaren was assistant at Man Utd wasn’t he? Reizeger assistant at Ajax so similar situation.
  3. Absolutely, but I don’t think this is a new thing for a lot of England fans to think. We will certainly never win with him in charge.
  4. I think they jumped the gun to be honest and probably wish they hadn’t cancelled everything now with all the other sports going ahead. Would be amazed if anything beyond this weekend is voluntarily cancelled. Hopefully the funeral is not next weekend as that may actually result in forced postponements.
  5. I agree and I assumed Forss would be getting significant game time. It seems mental for a club like us to spend 6m on two strikers the manager won’t pick. I think Forss is supposed to be a finisher, so maybe he will start getting picked now Muniz is in the team as he gives a bit of presence up there.
  6. Agree it’s annoying HH. I can’t watch the Boro website or sky highlights but YouTube is good, maybe the club assume the club website highlights are accessible to everyone.
  7. No intent required anymore for handball decision I don’t think. They changed the rule again as they seem to every year. But in any case it seems harsh as I’m not sure we got any advantage from it.
  8. Until we get this left footed centre back option we seem utterly incapable of functioning without we should be playing Paddy there. Not sure why he seems to be playing everywhere but there while other less suitable options are being used. I get we were very short in midfield for one match and he had to play there but now we have extra options so I’d be trying to get the defence fixed asap rather than playing an extra midfielder and one up front . Djiksteel on the right and fry or more likely Lenihan in the centre. and hopefully we are still looking for a midfielder as we de
  9. Yes I totally agree. He’s already admitted he could have put Fry on but even if he doesn’t we have a forward on the bench and there’s 7 minutes left why not put him on with Forss instead of playing a midfielder out of position. what a total kick in the balls that result is, feels like a defeat.
  10. He’s definitely gone to ground this season a lot more than he was doing last season. Even when his attacking play tailed off last season I thought he did very well defensively. He didn’t dive in and he was very difficult for any opposition to beat. Not sure why he’s diving in so much this season but hopefully he gets back to how he defended previously. much like people are calling for a bit of patience with Lenihan after his not great start for us I think Jones deserves that too. Not really sure why some fans dig him out so often.
  11. Yes I thought the same. We urgently need midfielders before three more forwards and two defenders.
  12. I am beginning to wonder why we signed Boyd-Munce. He’s 22 so not a kid, yet can’t even get a minute when the midfield is crying out for fresh legs late in both games. Assuming we sign 2 midfielders he’s going to be shipped out on loan I’d expect.
  13. Totally agree. I heard a suggestion maybe McNair wasn’t fully fit in which case I’d understand but he missed last week through suspension not injury so it seems like it was a (strange) tactical decision. Balance is good but it doesn’t make up for playing a clearly inferior player purely for that reason.
  14. A lot of this forum seemed to agree that was the right thing to do for some reason.
  15. True and of course the opposite applies, teams can get worse but do better.
  16. I know what you are saying. Funnily enough I always seem to think the same every season, then half way through the season think actually it isn’t any stronger!
  17. I’m not offended at all mate and I do accept it’s your opinion. I agree with a lot of your points actually, certainly losing Tav is a blow and we clearly need at least two midfielders bringing in. I was just replying to you suggesting we had no chance of going up one place in the league with the strikers listed, which included Muniz. I would like better than that list also especially given the fees we have received but if we do fail to improve it then I still think we would have a good chance. anyway let’s see where we end up at the end of the transfer window as it’s all up
  18. We finished 7th last season with no left side, a liability in goal and 3 poor loan forwards. We’ve upgraded the first two and surely those forwards are no worse than last seasons. Yet we wouldn’t even be in contention to rise one place up the league? We also had Warnock waste a chunk of last season.
  19. No surprises. Let’s hope we are on it and get the three points. I’m feeling nervous.
  20. Absolutely right. Bored senseless of the “I said it first” childishness.
  21. To be honest I agree with you in the sense that I don’t think he’s going to be here for long and I don’t think he’s very good. I just think the guy deserves a chance as I really don’t think he’s had one here.
