Boro v Charlton
I know when Whittaker's not scoring or assisting he's rarely affecting games but he's got 17 goals and assists, that's an involvement in 30% of our goals (the anti-Conway). He just has to start for me.

QPR v Boro 0-4 (Strelec, Browne, Hackney, Conway)
QPR will be a very different game than Birmingham who are high pressing, possession based team who really got after us. QPR are much more likely to sit in and let us have possession. However like Birmingham they've got two pretty big Centre Forwards which might warrant the 3rd Centre back, so I'd go unchanged in the team-sheet. But I'm expecting we don't get many chances for balls over the top and in behind for this one, predicting more of a patient build-up and will play out more like games we've witnessed for the rest of the season.

Will mean tightly packed defences and low blocks become the norm, will be much more difficult to justify high lines and risky football and rewards hoofball. Think it would make the game more boring for fans personally but the test could prove different. My ideal to make it easier and quicker would just to do offsides based off of feet position rather than any goalscoring body-part.

Promotion Rivals
Wouldn't hold my breath on it, Ipswich are heavy favourites (about 75%) to win tonight, even with DZ jinxing them.

Birmingham City v Boro 1-3 (Targett(2) Strelec)
Also he was celebrating with the fans at the end of the game.

Strelec is he any good?
Good first touch, good finisher, got an eye for a pass and can stand a player up. More suited to a direct team than one who is seeking to counter press and win possession high up the pitch. He’s come on so far when we’ve been holding leads rather than trying to throw men forward to support him, which hasn’t helped his game.

Sheffield United v Boro 1-2 (Conway, McGree)
A team that hadn’t lost in 8 home games (6 wins) as well.

I still feel like those figures are inflated by either player or club.

Boro v Norwich City 1-0 (Hackney)
One thing I find astounding is that Morris only has one yellow card this year, considering how much he gets stuck in. I can’t really remember him making any rash challenges whilst he’s been here though. Definitely needs to commit some more professional fouls!

'Other Boro stuff'
Since Hellberg has come in we're scoring 2 goals per game (22 in 11 games) even with the 4 game scoreless streak. Pre-Hellberg we were scoring 1.33 (24 in 18 games). I know Conway doesn't want to give anything away for the sake of a talksport interview but that's quite a jump for a small tweak... 😁

Boros best starting 11 when fully fit
Nah, it was my fault for bragging that his best ability was avail-ability when he was our only fit CB and that made him our signing of the season. I said here was finally a starting CB who spends more time on the pitch than the treatment table.

Horrible challenge, but since they’ve got Ipswich next maybe better he didn’t get a red for us.
