I’m yet to see any good performances IMO. Turns like the titanic, terrible with the ball at his feet, easily turned by anyone half decent. Still cannot get over a back 3 of him, Miller and Hedges.

I think it’s gross negligence now if we see any of Hendrikson, Tavares or Forshaw starting ahead of Montgomery for the remainder of the season. I’m seeing absolutely nothing from TGH either. Centre midfield is incredibly weak, as is centre back. Pretty flimsy “spine”

It’s this seasons version of “Bradley Johnson false 9”

Absolute madness isn’t it. A back 3 of Miller, McLoughlin and Hedges. Comical stuff when you see it written down

Yeah just checked the map and BBE and JWE look to have sold well. Absolutely loads left in the Riverside though and BBE Upper not open

Boro are 2/1 Promotion Wolves are 4/1 To Stay Up i.e. right now Boro are more likely than Wolves to be playing in the top tier next season Interesting choice for him. Wolves is a bit of a free hit - nobody will blame him if they go down and he’d have a big Championship budget to play with the season after But Boro is a great place to manage, they have a good owner who will back you and give you time (Carrick was there a while). Similar-ish stuff happened with Kieran McKenna when Ipswich were flying. He stayed and took them up, now they’re back fighting to get in top 6 again in the Championship.

Does anybody know how sales are looking for this?

He wasn’t even in the squad and it’s a hamstring injury isn’t it? Be mental to risk him with the international break coming, let the lad properly recover (that’s if he’s even close to coming back anyway)

Ohashi, Miller and Hedges all had belting games I thought. Some effort they all put in. Only 1 game before the international break (1 game in 2.5 weeks), but still frustrating to suffer a few key injuries there.

Where is Exiled? I need to hear his referee opinion!

If Pears comes out with a cap on then we’ll know 👀

Pretty screwed if we lose Wharton. Barely enough fit CBs for a back 4 now

Would make sense if we were playing in League 2

Forshaw ahead of Montgomery 🙈

Ha I know I know, all fun and games (at least for now as we’re winning)

If the Ipswich game had finished we’d be 3 points off the playoffs 👀

Yeah I believe he’s a wing back and they’re playing him central. Have a look at the replies to their team sheet announcement on social media - their fans all said it pre-match. We’ve had so much joy down that side, could have had 3 goals at least from the right

Bloody hell that was superb by Morishita. Real quality. Thoroughly deserved

Incredibly poor from Morishita there

Not really sure how that’s any different to Ohashi getting caught in the head - keeper benefits every time from them but it’s never a yellow card

A lot of fans complaining about their LCB Roberts on their team sheet. Should bode well for Alebiosu down our right

Without going down a 'non-football' rabbit hole as that belongs outside of this part of the forum.....but I really hope you don't regularly complain about the standard of living / inflation etc. if you can go out and buy 4 football shirts a year + a basketball top for what I assume would be £350+ combined and then do it all again the next year as they very slightly change. £90 is extortionate, and you're either delusional, or lying (or both) if you're justifying it.

Similar opinions to others in that I'm thinking absolutely no chance given a mid-week away match. Having said that, a result here puts us into a decent position heading into the 2nd quarter of the season....fixtures after this until Christmas look favourable, with 6 of 9 at home and 6 of 9 against bottom half teams. Although we do have 7 games in 23 days - that Ipswich cancellation is frustrating on so many levels, not least as they'll probably hit form now. Wednesday, Oxford and Pompey in December could make for a happy or disastrous Christmas!

What is your definition of ‘plenty’? At £90 it will do well to sell 100. We only sell about 5k season tickets at about 3x that price. You live in La-La land

I must be watching a completely different game to most on here - In a back 3/5 he is never a “left centre back” in a million years in my opinion, it’s essentially a left back position most of the time and he’s incredibly slow, both in general and when turning (Norwich game was a prime example of this and that was in a back 4!) I think he personally is better suited to a proper CB position with help from LB, but even then I’m yet to be convinced I’d be concerned going forward anyway, we also had no centre back on the bench, if we persist with this formation then that’s an area we need to be in the market for in January (left sided)
