Championship and below 2015/16

Good home draw. We have a good record in the Cup against WBA recently. Peterborough are a bogey team, so WBA please.

As it is cliche time, I will come out with the 'our name is on the Cup' Might have to come back from Spain for the final though.:mmm:
 
Boro sign Rhodes from Blackburn, Kike from Athletico Bilboa and Ramirez from Southampton. Going to be an exciting run in, especially as other top teams have also strengthened their teams. C'mon Boro!
 
We are just trying to hold on to players. Rumour Williams was going to Boro, and then Swansea showed interest. Fingers crossed he stays, as he is the only box to box player we have.

Not sure about Rhodes. Never seen him score against us, and doesn't offer a lot if he is not scoring. No real pace, and doesn't hold the ball up very well. Obviously can take a chance, but judging by how few games he gets for Scotland, they don't rate him. Will do well for Boro in the Championship, but not so sure if they go up he will do it in the Premier League.

I think he gives the impression of being lazy, but with a record like that he's definitely doing something right. Agree with you that his lack of pace would let him down in the Prem.

Danny Murphy just said the same on BBC. Lack of pace and dosen't bring other players in to the game, but can score if given the chances. If he gets you into the Premier League he will be worth the transfer fee. Only played 13 games for Scotland, three goals. That would be the worry, especially as Scotland have not been blessed with great goal scorers in the last five years.:whistle:
 
Terrible game at the weekend. We played rubbish, Blackburn had very obviously done their homework and were just too good, Rhodes or no Rhodes. Little annoying as they didn't appear to be a great team, our performance from the previous round would have been more than enough.

Tonight though ... Get in there Oxford! It seems that Que sera, sera, whatever will be will be ...

Off to Wemberlee! Might be the tinpot trophy but it's strange how little that counts for when you find a day out is on the cards. And we do have a 100% record at that venue!

So are there any Tykes fans on here? :D
 
3-0 against a brentford side that seemed to want it early doors but they eventually capitulated to the far superior side.
it looks like Brighton have found a real gem in Anthony Knockaert ,full of running and could have had a hat trick tonight .if he stays fit we could pull it round and be fighting hard for a top two finish.
Hull away will be huge.
 
Awful game, Forest were poor and Leeds were our normal Sh**e, I bet Taylor, Mowatt and Cooke are wishing they had followed Byram and got out. at best mid table side.. but will be there again on monday v Boro..MOT

You should have been at Reading, it would have been worse. It was freezing, blowing a gale, and we got wet in the stand for the first time ever, even though we were 25 rows back.:eek:

Was contemplating the Boro match on Monday but not worth me taking time off work. I want to stop going but I just can't seem to pull myself away from the misery and the circus for some reason?

Went my with my dad for the first time in years as he's moved down south and he was genuinely gutted. He's seen it all from the Revie era, the 80's doldrums and the resurgence in the 90's and 00's but even he said that's the worst he's ever felt walking out of the ground.

I'm literally the only person in my family who bothers going now.
 
Paul Clement sacked at Derby, after all that money spent you'd think he'd have a chance to see it through?

Although I suppose it's early enough to halt the slide they're on.

Nelson Oliveira has been a bloody revelation for us though! Inspired signing by Dougie...

13 games unbeaten now - which means we'll soon start to decline again and have a disappointing end to the season.

Still, it's always nice to beat dirty Leeds! :whoo:

Unfortunately he has to go back at the end of the season as nothing in play to buy him.
If we can get through this season we may
Have a decent one next time mate.

But as you said always good to be beat dirty Leeds mate.
