Apart from Jones, there isn't a single player I'd be pleased to see come on tonight. Azaz could (and hopefully will) come good given time and opportunities, but Silvera has shown very little, while Gilbert and Greenwood have shown even less. Thomas can get in the bin, Dijksteel was turning in some woeful performances back when he was fully fit, Glover is...well, Glover, and Barlaser is something of a luxury player - great when you're winning but not up for the fight in the face of adversity. I think tonight's bench encapsulates why we won't get promoted this season. Our strongest XI is as good as any in the league, and we have a couple of injured players who'd also be competing for a starting berth. Beyond that core of 14-15 quality players, the rest of our squad is League One standard, not pushing for Premier League standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsouth 8,112 39k Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 Delighted to see an unchanged team hopefully the ethos and commitment will continue apart from the nervy starts Boro usually give us? On the front foot from the off? I hope so and an early Boro goal would be very welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no matter how the club dress it up we wont be challenging the top 6, I would have loved to see as many young academy players who have featured this season on the bench again warming the bench to hopefully get minutes in a Championship game Agree Silvera has been so hit & miss, Gilbert too, maybe thats down to the club for only giving him a cameo roll at best, Thomas wont be here next season either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman_Conquest 36 46 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 Would you offer Howson a new contract? I would give him another year and also look to get him involved in coaching. Howson is a leader on the pitch and we miss it when he's not playing. Come on Boro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
