Silvera does at least have a bit of energy and occasionally will burst forward. Greenwood unfortunately after two decent games against Sunderland and "that" free kick offers very little and I believe is one of the reasons that Engel gets so exposed at times and gets himself in a mess. Too many Managers have passed on him and they can't all be wrong.

Maybe we should beat Ipswich and let Leeds walk all over us so they go up and we then can't afford his wages? I suspect that there may be an "if fit" clause in the loan agreement because Carrick surely can't be the blind, stupid or incompetent.

Don't get me wrong I think Greenwoods shocking as well, we need better than both of them next season

I think he needs a loan next season, if we're serious about promotion we can't be messing around with players like Silvera even off the bench

Aye you could be right. I think he's just one of those players we gambled on a bit earlier than we normally would. I think he's the sort of player that would have gone to a lower league team like Barlaser and Azaz and we end up signing. I think we got him a bit cheaper signing him when we did although with our expectations being a lot higher (promotion) he hasn't had the luxury of time to settle and more regular game time.

If we wanna get serious about promotion there’s the areas we 100% need to strengthen. The 3 behind the striker and LB.

I promised Latte Lath was a goal machine 

I promise you now Bangura will be one of the best LBs in the league, fitness permitting

Can’t wait to get a long look at Bangura

Not that disappointed it was after al a good game and one which by fine margins we could have won very much like the Southampton match.

There is always going to be a next season one I think Boro can handle very well

Anyway done and dusted here are the highlights

Well if its a done deal he gives the impression of not giving a toss. He will become the worst ever signing and most hated Boro player ever. I really cant understand the clubs thought processes if its true.

Carrick's thoughts on the match.

I'm still fairly satisfied with the point last night, even after sleeping on it.

It was a fair result and an enjoyable watch.

I understand why Carrick's still bigging up the fact we're in with a chance, as it's mathematically there, but I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if Norwich dropped 8 points from the remaining 12, even pretending we won all 4.

Wondered why he was still getting played.

No win in the first seven games, poor results against teams in the league, Rotherham, Stoke, Pymouth, beat those & we're in the top 6

A good end to the season as, along with Leeds, form teams of the league, so credit to Boro as after the Stoke game all loked dead & buried. At the end of the day we just havent been good enough

100% - it's the horrendous start and results against bottom six sides that have cost us.

The good news? That's easier to fix than if we were being hammered by every good side we played. And surely we can't be as bad at the start of next season. There'll be some turnover, sure, but not to the same extent. 

3/4 decent transfers, couple of quality PL loans, last season's signings settled in, plus the likes of McGree, Hackney, Forss, back in the mix... No reason we can't have 10-15 more points on the board this time next season.

Yeah neither do I. He obviously has talent, but he looks like a player who doesn't know where he is going to be next season and that is playing on his mind. Does he go back to Leeds without a future, do Boro want him but can't afford him, is the matter all up in the air. It can't be that easy not knowing where you are in 3 months and whether you have a future at the club that owns you. There is bound to be something mentally going on. I think he's got a higher cieling than he is showing, but we obviously can't carry passengers and with the injuries we have it's hard to only use him as an impact player. His direct competition is Silvera and he is even further away quality wise. If, and it's a big if, we sign Greenwood I think there is a fair chance we will see a different player. But if I had to make the discision I'd probably pass.

That’s harsh. He’s struggled during his time here but I don’t think I’ve ever questioned his desire or work rate.

Easy criticism for people to make when people are off form, even when what's happening on the pitch completely contradicts what they're saying. The exact same accusation got leveled at tav when he was struggling, despite him putting more yards in than anyone. 

Worst of it is, Greenwood isn't even in bad form. He was as bad as anyone last night but his last two games he's been good. No one had a whinge when he was in the starting lineup last night and that's because he's played well recently. Soon as he dips he's the worst thing ever again.

They only have to drop 7 😉
