I can’t help feeling that Fagin – the star character from Charles Dicken’s wonderful novel ‘Oliver Twist’ was present at the Riverside on Saturday. If ever a team ‘picked a pocket or two’ it was Watford. Completely outclassed and totally inept for 47 minutes of the first half they went into the break with a [...]
It has to be said that a point at Nottingham Forest was a fair result especially when it’s something we haven’t achieved for quite some time. And even though most of us were looking forward to a seventh successive win we were ultimately delighted with the draw and what – by the end of the [...]
To fully appreciate the performance and result against Hull last night you really had to be there to witness at first hand the effort that all the players put in to making it such a success. First half star was Grant Leadbitter who seemed to cover every inch of midfield , created a couple of [...]
Since they had already beaten Championship sides Huddersfield and Crystal Palace at Deepdale in this year’s League Cup, drawing Preston away didn’t look a particularly easy draw. Add to that the fact that Tony Mowbray made wholesale changes from Friday night’s defeat of Blackburn and it looked like a really tough night in prospect. That [...]
How many times have we looked forward to a ‘Boro match on the box only to find that we were dreadful, scored nothing and had the rest of the country switching over in absolute boredom? That’s why on the way to Friday night’s match at Blackburn there was a bit of trepidation at the prospect [...]
Well, it didn’t take long for my first website forecast to be smashed to smithereens, but the result against Blackpool certainly ‘illuminated’ my shortcomings in suggesting a 2-1 win for ‘Boro. It’s difficult to understand exactly what happened because a defence that had kept an industrious and not untalented Ipswich side at bay on Saturday [...]
Anyone who wasn’t convinced that Mogga had actually improved the squad over the summer months should take a look at Saturday’s win over Ipswich and the people who not only performed during the game but also those who didn’t actually make it off the bench or into the squad in the first place. Signing the [...]
Despite last month’s observations on the strength of this season’s Championship we’re already looking forward to the start with some excellent signings in place and a decent win in our first pre-season friendly. OK, it was only Falkirk but a win of any sort is good, especially with seven goals spread across the team. The [...]
BORO have this afternoon completed the signing of Argentinian forward Emanuel Ledesma on a three-year contract. The 24-year-old was a free agent after spending part of last season on a short-term with Walsall, where his impressive performances attracted the attention of Tony Mowbray’s scouting team. After beginning his career as a youth player with Serie [...]
