Erimus74 3,595 3.7k Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Not to sure who the Liverpool player is who can overtake Rogers as this seasons league cup top scorer, but he's done so well in his debut season to have, fingers crossed, win the honour of the top scorer Shame he didnt score v Huddersfield in the 1st round Though he's created a record that will take some beating at the Boro, scoring in every round up to the semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus74 3,595 3.7k Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It's sort of been a stop start season for Michael Carrick, last season when he took over from the previous boss he inherited a team in the bottom 3 & ended up losing finalists in the playoffs, playing some fantastic football & scoring goals for fun along the way Started off this season with project players as our new model at the Boro then before we knew it, the 1st long term injury kicks in, then another & another & so on, to the point we faced at Chelsea I can't see Michael Carrick not been here next season when hopefully, fingers crossed, he stays clear of black cats & our injury record is a thing of the past when we can mount a serious challenge for a playoff place, the least we will acheive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estonpidge 1,561 6.1k Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 EFL want more money from the Prem' so they are keeping the extra game as it earns more money for them, if the Prem increase the solidarity payment I think the 2nd game will disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
