It also didn’t help that they whipped the crowd up with the band before hand either. It was a bit of a weird atmosphere all round at SMS yesterday I thought.

Brooks was a good signing as well, to be fair. Wlicox woefully out of his depth at United though.

To be fair, had we signed Lankshear as well, we’d be all but celebrating promotion right now.

We need to be much better than we were yesterday. Obviously having 11 will help. Draw I think.

3 of the worst questions I think I’ve ever heard. I’m a touch disappointed he didn’t respond with “I couldn’t give a fuck” to her ridiculous comment about how the skate fans will react. Some decent female sports commentators out there, but silly bints like that, who clearly have no idea about the game, give them a bad name.

Oh, and MB

Some people as in: Dom Shaw Middlesbrough Our promotion rivals the cartel of the EFL Portsmouth

Yep. If its 6 games, we might think we can reduce it to 3, for example.

I can't believe that there has been a verdic and there has been 0 leaks / rumours. None at all.

Hasn't he just had a child? 6 months at home, getting paid, with your newborn might seem appealing...

It'll be interesting the level of ban. For example, 6 months touchline isn't where near as impactful as a 6 game complete ban. It'd also be intresting to see how a 'complete ban' would be enforced in the day and age of video calls etc. Either way, anything more than a handful of games ban, I'd be looking to bring in a touchline number 1. Someone with affiliation to the club who's willing to drop ego and essentially coach players through the game from the sideline (and probably get a decent wedge as a result). Strachan, Adkins. Ralph...?

We’d have been better off keeping Downs. At least he’s our player and the game time might have improved him. genuinely no difference between the 2.

Send him back, play one of the kids. At least we’d be developing someone for our benefit. He’s absolutely woeful. Offers us nothing with his back to goal and doesn’t even try to get stuck in.

It was said in jest, but there has to be a reason why last season we started games blisteringly quick. This season, we’ve been absolutely horrendous the first 15/20.

Will salt? Perhaps knowing how the opposition are setting up, does make a difference.
