Horrible way to lose - complete bottle job. Pope has to be dropped now. Bethell too - he's basically played no First Class cricket. Test decided by an injury to one of our bowlers - in a series where they were allowed a specialist WK as a sub fielder (and the WK batsman was allowed to bat).

Have we? Who's to say they don't see the Swedish lad playing further forward?

Eustace read from a script in his interviews. Had a message he wanted to get across and wasn't really giving you anything else. I bet he's a completely different character behind closed doors.

Think it's more down to us not having the finances to green light our moves without Boro paying us for Brittain. We're in a chain.

Brave kid. Love that young English players are brave enough to go abroad now.

Mate I'd love to play Derby with Beck playing LW. He's not got the close control for it.

We can't possibly need to sell. So much has walked out of the door.

Hackney turned down Ipswich so Boro might not have them money for the transfer any more.

Why not? Perhaps they think the two new Midfielders can help cover AMC too (seems the case for the Swedish lad). Or even do 20 minutes out wide.

Hackney has said no to Ipswich so Boro might not have the funds...

Game has changed since Kargbo, Gueye and Alebiosu have come on. Look much better without Ohashi leading the line and Montgomery getting roasted.

Feel sorry for DeNeve getting lumped in with Hedges already by some.

Assume he's just not fully fit yet and they daren't risk him with Brittain leaving and Miller being injured.

Ohashi fluffing two gilt edged chances and Montgomery being roasted for both their goals the difference between the sides today. How anyone can watch Hedges continually lose the ball and duck out of challenges and not think he needs replacing is beyond me.

So it seems.

He doesn't have the pace to run in behind against Championship CBs. He's a Solskjaer - good finisher, good movement and composed. Ferguson didn't start him much either.

I'd sell him for a 6'+ do it all CF with pace - as with our wide players our #9 is going to have to create all his own goals. As that's not going to happen I'd hold onto him.

I don't think we had one for Qatar SC either. Obviously someone had scrambled to dust one off from storage for Elche.

Almost felt sorry for him, but then you remembered he's a massive knob.

Better be a bloody fantastic winger.

Kieffer Moore is a pretty handy player at this level.

Yes, if they get service.

We'll need it 'cos no fucker can put in a good corner.

I mean I'm as anti-Venkys as the next guy, but I don't really give af about a preseason game potentially not being televised. There are other hills to die on - like the home shirt, the lack of investment in the squad, the low season ticket sales etc etc.

Less than inspiring reviews of Miller. Granted most people don't know what they're looking at, but still.
