I wonder if its in the loan contract that some loan players have to start? Or why is not Watmore starting more games?

Wilder has made repeated references to having to manage his knee injury.

I think he's playing through the pain most matches.

I was not sure where to post this but seeing as it is information that came from the post match presser thought I would add it here.

Wilder confirms left footed CB is a priority in summer and that he sees Paddy as a right footed CB.

I would say the priority is to get shots of our so called strikers and get a couple of strikers in that can actually score now and then. 

[TLF10 4,497]

The bottom of the article also mentions strikers @Rat catcher.

I think we fans are pretty much bang on with positions the club will look at

GK, RWB, CB, LWB and CF x2.

Paddy is definitely better on the right, but Dijksteel has been excellent in that role as well.

74pts has been the average points required to get 6th spot. It means we need 18pts from the last 30 available. Come on Boro.

We can achieve that 💪 UTB

Watmore should never be starting for us unless injuries. He's just as bad if not worse than the rest of them when he starts, he's also guaranteed to need one of the substitutions on him as his health doesn't allow over 60 mins. His headless chicken routine is half decent from the bench but that's where it ends for me.

I don't agree that a left footed centre back should be a priority come the summer unless we get a silly offer for Djiksteel or McNair. We have much bigger fish to fry.

My priorities would be Strikers > LWB (if Bola doesn't show considerable improvement/reliability) > Goalkeeper. That's assuming we also don't get Jones snatched. After I'd be considering LCB/DM.

We seemed to settle for a point around 60 minutes yesterday, although personally I wouldn’t have done I can understand given where Millwall are. 

Birmingham away is simply a must win no matter what, anything less and suddenly there’s 5 teams between us and 6th, which I think will be too big a bridge to gap

Right wing back? Are we assuming Jones is leaving or do you mean Right centre back? 

[Redcar Rioja 5,976]

Millwall as I pointed out before KO yesterday were top of the form table, because of our draw with them they are now "only" joint top with the Terriers. A draw away from home against the most in form team has to be a good result. It perhaps feels a little disappointing because it was only unfashionable Millwall but they are in a better vein of form than the likes of Fulham etc. 

It's become clear that Wilderball has been sussed by opposition Coaches and that things will continue to be tough until and unless we have an alternative tactic especially away from home. The Changes made yesterday helped to address some of the flaws and Peltier in particular I thought played particularly well especially considering the disappointing showing midweek.

Once again Lumley surprised and even stunned us with another decent performance. He may be the Boro Goalkeeping equivalent of Bolo Zenden!

[Downsouth 6,327]

The disturbing aspect for me is that we are only one or two injuries away from not keeping up with the others and simply falling away.

We have zilch really on the bench atm

I think we need cover for Jones. He the only RWB we have as I fully expect Spence to leave.

Dijksteel can play there but i don't think he comfortable and in any event he a right sided CB now. We cant go through a 46 game season with just one RWB imo

Can’t agree with your Watmore comment. He’s clearly our most productive forward of the 4.

Yes we need another option as Jones looks like he needs a short break. We have no good options though so if he got injured it would screw us up completely.
