rutters 52 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Very happy with that. No excuses for Britt now. He either shapes up and gets a good offer or we, and any potential suitors, finally discover he's no longer up to it. One niggling, lingering doubt I still have is the goalkeeping position. Can't stop envisioning a situation whereby a wonderful, flowing, champagne-soccer performance is deflated by a handling blunder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

On a shoestring budget with little incoming revenue, he's backed his manager and given us genuine strength in attacking depth for the first time in years. For once, Boro have kept their cards close to their chest, got the admin team Photoshopping new signings out, and delighted the fans. Warnock must be grinning like a Cheshire cat today, and next time Bettinelli hoofs the ball 70 yards up the pitch, we might actually have the pace and talent to retain possession. Bravo, MFC. We've got nineteen games to make yesterday count, and it could be a really fun journey now. UTB. I'll admit its nice just to see we've done some business and brought people in to strengthen areas we've been weak in (hopefully). I'll withhold praise for now, until we see how the new guys work out, but considering it looked for a long while like we'd struggle to bring anyone in, you have to say fair play to the chairman and manager. We haven't scoured the lower leagues or made loan signings from PL teams who just want their youngsters to get some experience. We've signed players with some sort of track record in the Championship, who ought to be solid additions to the squad. 🤞 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He's clearly a unit even when fully fit, but that Dubai training was 2 months ago. He could have had a mega Christmas and packed on the pounds. Link to post Share on other sites

He's posting old pictures, I'd say. Though I'd obviously prefer if he had been training so recently. Link to post Share on other sites

Whoppy 593 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Woken up absolutely buzzing today, can’t wait to see how things pan out, I just hope we are patient and give all of the new players time to settle in. sidenote: I don’t live in the north of England and was telling my friends my excitement over NML and Kebano and none of them had heard of either of them. Some ‘big’ club fans really lack a footballing knowledge I think. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I live in East London and apart from a few PNE and Forest fans everyone I know just follows a Top 6 side or West Ham. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

His relationship with our Neil is important too. The same goes for Yannick. Regarding Kebano, he is kinda match fit, I think and will start this Saturday. The addition of these players will also make our other players better. I am sure Watmore, Tav and our strikers will thrive. The engine room will also contribute with more than just defending, cause they will have more space and tme, cause we now have competent forwards, who should draw a lot of defenders to them. Can't wait for the rest of the season! UTMFB! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well done to all at the club, this has the makings of a great end to the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Genuine question: Is Bausor still working for us? Didn't someone say early in the season, that we were cleaning out our closet? This feels like Gibbo and NW team work with not mouch interference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
