Boro seriously need to strengthen.Ramsey ,Giles and Archer loans ended and Akpom wasn't in the squad today presumably a move is close

Ffs

Ridiculous if he is under pressure this early. They have no fit centre forwards

Born In Australia to Irish parents.Involved with the Republic of Ireland now. Harsh he didn't make the bench today

Be harsh if Gilsenen doesn't make the bench after a goal and assist midweek

Gav was the poster who championed a statue for Mowbray. Not sure if he was on the wind up at time or not

Nice pass by Gilsenan

Thought Travis was very good if truth of a fall out with JDT then that's the way to respond. Great movement by Leonard shame he couldn't stick away at least one of those chances away second half

Wharton on the bench tomorrow unfortunately,JDT said he hasn't had enough of a pre season to start

JDT said A Wharton will be on the bench tomorrow due to him being injured then ill in pre season

1-0 Szmodic

Who are the trialist brothers on the bench?

It will be like an episode of bargain hunt next summer when we are trying to flog them all Seriously though he looks another with a bit about him,and another been at the club since 10 years old like Carter ,A.Wharton Buckley etc the club should be commended for turning out enough competent at this level players,and this current crop A.Wharton,Phillips ,Batty etc look a step up and ore breaking through at a younger age than the previous guys before them .The coaching and scouting department in our youth are top class to be fair

So for deffo the budget won't be restored this summer? It's just the owners deciding to cut the budget rather than not being able to put more money in?

Yeah the front 3 need improving upon that doesn't make it an awful side for this level Brererton was the only regular goalscorer last season with 14 goals he went 9 games without scoring and 12 games without scoring if my memory serves me correctly We still finished 7th so whatever way you want to dress it up it isn't an awful team for this level

Most of the that team played important roles in us finishing 7th last season. Apart from the front 3 being improved upon it isn't a bad side for this level at all.

A shortlist created when we had a "project" He didn't expect to make up that shortlist and then by year 2 of the project find out we don't have a budget. If JDT goes it will be another out of job manager who has failed in his last few jobs. No bright up and coming manager would want to join this circus. I know the itks say this going to be sorted out etc...but JTD said last night the project has changed,no money etc.If this was going to be sorted out mid August then why would he be saying such things?

How on earth have you come to that conclusion?

Sorry I know you are probably tired of answering questions but did Waggott give any indication if the Ash Phillips money would be used to bring a player/s in?

What's it on mate? If not allowed to say here id appreciate a pm where I could find the game?

Birmingham's Chong having a medical at Luton £4 million Only just seen Bristol City signed Jason Knight yesterday.Good signing

Nil?By selling Armstrong and Raya? Oh I forgot you don't think loans and free transfers cost any money because Gallagher, Brererton and Armstrong weren't the only players signed in Mowbrays tenure. I just think it is a total nonsense to say JDT took over a team that had just finished 8th. He didn't ...no matter what way you try to paint it 5 from that team that finished 8th had left the club.And I don't know why JDT being able to replace them makes a difference? It still doesn't make it the team that finished 8th

How? Mowbray had 5 years in the job.He also had the time in the first season to keep us up and he didn't .Don't blame him for the relegation but I am much more confident with JDT than I ever was with Mowbray 8th his highest finish,JDT surpassed that in his first season. Yeah Mowbray did come in with the squad in worse shape but he had time and the luxury of spending £13 million on 3 strikers in Armstrong, Gallagher and Brererton. And like iv said 5 players were gone from the first I don't care wether they were loans or not .It's still nearly half a team

It was not 3 players. Both first choice centre backs gone in Van Hecke and Lenihen. First choice Rb gone and Rothwell our best midfielder. Plus Khadra . That's 5 from our strongest 11 that season.

JDT walked into a club who had lost both their first choice centre halves including the club captain.First choice Right back gone.Best midfielder gone and Khadra had also departed.That is nearly half a team.
