Cole and Bent injured.

Cut and paste that for the rest of the season.

Me too, I renewed my season ticket ages ago but it has not arrived so I do not have a new code. Bugger!

Jesus: NBaker again ... Lord save us.

Has Lowton actually got the loan to Boro? If not, why is he not in the squad?

The midfield options look so mediocre ....

I didn't renew so can't really complain, but I will anyway. A bit shitty to cut it off before the last pre-season away.

Seems a bit petty. Particularly when other clubs broadcast them for free.

Lowton is in the squad/ on the bench.

I like seeing us try and play out of the back. We are bad at it, but we need to keep doing it. Only way we are going to get better.

We're looking competitive at least. But some of the passing is so sloppy. And I really struggle to see us score too many set up this way.

The full backs are pushed on quite far. But you really need some fluidity and creativity in midfield or up front to make this work - a Merson or Yorke. Cole was that sort, but you can't see him being a key part of the way we play. As boring as teh 433 can be, you do get an extra attacking player in there

Yeah there is also a gap between defense and our attackers. Our midfield shape has been poor for so long now.
