what is classed as an attempt?

Unchanged as much as possible now please until the international break

I'm ever the optimist but last night could be the start of something special. Imagine what a high we will be on if we gatecrash the playoffs now. 1-0 Derby incoming ofc. #UTB

Can I console myself about Palmer's disastrous captaincy fail by saying that I'd have been just about ok with 20pts from Palmer / Colwill if it was 14/6 the other way round? #FPL

Can't see me going back, there is enough on here to keep me interested. And like you say the state of it over there now.

yeah - it's almost at the stage where he needs to go for his own well being.

Team selection felt a bit desperate. Asking a lot with essentially 4 new players to go away to 2nd place and get a result. I don't really buy into must win games but Watford feels a bit must winny.

Does feel sometimes like his good stuff gets ignored and his bad stuff jumped on.

Yeah I think Hackney has been trying to do at least 2 jobs recently and maybe 3 if you include the captaincy. I still think he is at the heart of most of our good stuff. Morris will be a welcome return alongside him but like you say I don't think we have a single player on form currently.

Some alternate views on Hayden Hackney #UTB

Think I'm doing the same. At 2.7m so worth the gamble... (I've said this a few times recently however(

Bailey Palmer is 16 years, 45 days which would make him our youngest ever player by 27 days if he comes on. #UTB

Our youngest ever player I believe if he comes on #UTB

Great to see him celebrating on the pitch as well

We've had some excellent Christmas away days in recent years
Blackpool ✅️
Blackburn ✅️
Huddersfield ✅️
Hull ✅️

Just don't mention Rotherham.

#UTB

This was such an iconic moment. Starting off the Latte Lath song afterwards as well 👌

#UTB

no....but I did hang on for far too long...and only brought Salah in last week. so you get an idea how my season has gone 🥲

1 possibly - could easily be all is needed. I've had Gvardiol throughout so waiting very very very patiently for the big haul 🤣

I still think I'm shell-shocked after yesterday. Did that happen? #UTB

Pretty sure I'm C Isak
Rogers > Iwobi
Still no Mo
Wood to punish me
Rank 2.1m

#FPL

Yeah agreed I think. Quite like Iwobi's fixtures but just not sure how heavy a scorer he will be.

Is bringing in Iwobi to bench Wood so I can play Flekken instead of Fabianski good logic or terrible logic? #FPL

Just what you want from a squad player. Ready to step in when needed and fitted in seamlessly.

Very true. I have my doubts but I'm going in with as open a mind as possible!

Haha sorry mate 🤣 I have bad memories of a last minute Andy Ritchie winner sometime in the 90s

Boro strangely not mentioning anywhere (not even listed as fixture on the website) the fact the u18s are playing Spurs in the FA Youth Cup right now (who they lost 6-1 to recently). Currently 2-2 in the 2nd half.

#UTB

Nearly 32 years ago to the day (28 November 1992), Oldham Athletic beat Boro 4-1 in the inaugral Premier League season.

Yesterday, having dropped 4 divisions since then they lost 2-0 to 7th tier Stockton Town in the FA Trophy.

#UTA

Well after taking a hit (😃) to bring Salah in earlier in the week it's FH time!
#FPL

Any news on Hamilton's absence Dom?

Thought we plated really well last night. Better finishing and we win the game against a good team. Also can someone build an express motorway between Burnley and Boro, that drive back was horrendous. #UTB
