You havent a clue. It has everything to do with it. Unless you are familiar with how youth academy football is, then you wouldnt know how much nepotism and cronyism goes on. The game is riddled with it...Seen it too many times at the expense of talent who's dad wasnt a professional footballer.

Spot on Den. His kicking was very poor too. His whole demeanour suggested a non- professional player. At the end of the day he is the son of a popular Middlesbrough goalkeeper who's probably had a free pass throughout the academy junior and youth ranks because the coaches know his dad and like to suck up to ex pros.....He's clearly not good enough and Tony has done a Paul Downing and give him a good contract well above his pay grade. That's football folks.

Its unbelievable how he will put his mates lad in completely out of his depth. Has he not looked at him in training? What does Benson say? Its a shambles. And now he's defending a boys club purchase with outrageous comments. Joke

Who'd have thought our entire right side against the league leaders would have about 3 games between them experience wise......mowbray hasn't a clue

I just said I wasn't keen and especially at full back. Mowbray is a cock, cutting his nose of to spite his face with Ryan obviously going...he should play him every game and hope we get promoted. He's farted him about for 3 seasons. On costello, looks like another academy type average joe...we need to find little gems like Dolan and manage them properly....although i don't trust Tony with kids Whiteman in January please.

Not for us. 12 points off the top, 6 off relegation already and letting in lots of goals. Why do you do this chaddy every year?

And theres nobody to replace Mowbray???. This guy sounds like he would have walked here.. Oh, and Boro are 7th..for the warnock nay sayers

Not keen on that Costello. Nyambe much better championship player, unfortunately he will be leaving us in May and we will be scrabbling about Mowbrays mates for a replacement....step up Larry Grayson

But mate,people like chaddy et al don't think we could replace mowbray with anyone better....many clubs manage to find a good un. Waggot wont sack his mate, we are screwed to the middle of rhe table

Yep, League 1 defenders but many on here rate Williams and Lenihan....for the last few weeks its been a Del love in round here....when will people learn one swallow doesnt make a summer and a leopard never changes its spots....

Just watched it. Dels good isnt he? Shittest player for years Pears mowbrays mates son Lenihan total shyte Defenders are coming Mowbray out

Told you Kaminski wasnt playing. Doubting Thomas's the lot of you....

I've split him and a few centre halves up over the years. His dad is huge too...?

He's my man, Joe. Was my centre forward....absolute animal he was at 15s/16s.

Couple of my old lads on loan there from PNE....they should start them. Can't do any worse

No its not. Turd of a club with a dodgy infrastructure.

What a silly remark. The goals for and against stat controls all the other stats. "Oh, we had 70% posession and lost...Happy days" said no manager ever

No , we are faves, reading odds against.

Same manager, same tactical attitude. I think we win well tonight. 3-1

Kaminski not fit. Pears set to come in....?

Yes mate, up the football league we go....

Government on about changing it to 7 days....the tories are on our side.

Was that when Anelka killed us? I was in the pub by half time expected even more. I think we won the 2nd half...1-0

Sorry 2, v Bolton Kean

Ive only ever abused one person at the football. Coyle away at Barnsley. Little dingle shyte
