Luton winning gives me some hope. This is going to be a tough one but a thing goes now 🤞🏻🙏🏻 I was hoping to see Balogun today. Personally think he could score a few and go on a run 🤷🏻‍♂️

RIP Vector. Used to really appreciate his posts and conversation on here. I don’t post much at the moment, haven’t for a while, but glad I checked in. This is sad news. That guy lived the Boro.

On sky sports red button. I reckon we will sneak a win here. Always do ok at Ashton Gate and I’m normally there to watch.

A point more from the opening 2 games than I was expecpting.

Apparently Anthony Stokes has had his contract with Livingston cancelled by mutual consent... Hope that is not the striker target 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ source - sky sports news

Would have been happy with a point. That would have been fair bit football is rarely fair. We dominated for large periods and but for a little flair in the final third and a small amount of luck we would were good. flip it around - after last season that was far better than I expected...

Interesting how I see it so different. We didn’t win, obviously, but we have something to build on. Personally I’m encouraged. Far better than I expected...

Gutted. Thought we were the better side. A bit more quality will be the difference ultimately this season. I think Morsy and some better attacking midfielders will help. Dijksteel and Hall were 🔥

Wow - that’s a no go then.

Not sure if this has been mentioned - sky sports news have just mentioned that Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has been sacked by Cardiff.. didn’t hear the reason why but I guess Warnock might well be interested?

Probably a nobody stirring it up but:

Some young West Ham winger - Diangana https://foreverwestham.com/2019/07/blog-topics/middlesbrough-eye-diangana/

Michael Frey - Currently a Fenerbache forward... https://www.football-addict.com/en/article/middlesbrough-fc/leeds-united-and-middlesbrough-in-picture-to-sign-player-boro-preparing-5m-offer/5d04f5a7292f04262e369498?utm_campaign=post-auto&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=boro-addict

Apparently manager confirmed and announced in 48 hours... tweet from Bernie Slaven and Boro rumours... screen shot the pics bit can’t see how to attach them.

Bit of a black pudding this now like

Well that’s disappointing.

Middlesbrough Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Slavisa Jokanovic as our new Head Coach! Happy with that!

Read that too. Sounds like he is just trying to raise his profile.

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/05/14/do-report-middlesbrough-want-blistering-ado-den-haag-forward-she/ This guy is the Dutch winger... Could be another Yannic Widshut? I guess no risk on a free?

Not a popular opinion I’m sure but I believe that If Pulis got the signings he wanted then we would have had a much different experience as fans. With Puncheon, Phillips and whatever striker he wanted we would have been far better to watch and winning more. I’m sure we can all name the players we were linked with that didn’t come... shame. Same can be said for Karanka... shame. Pulis needs to go now though. Would love Woody to be brilliant but I think it is not going to end up well. We need a new team with our academy lads as the basis with some experience around them. The ego’s n

Pulis has a 63.64% win rate? ... Won 21 drawn 7 and lost 5... ? Is this true?

That team though. 5-4-1... 3-5-2... this is going to be excruciating. I chose not to go to this one and glad I didn’t. Not normally negative but we could be far more attacking. Would rather lose trying than this.

The only thing which might appease me is maybe Watkins and Maupay from Brentford or Dack from Blackburn. We have literally done nothing to sort out the squad out and make an attempt at promotion. Fuming. Gutted. Etc...
