Clearly the alternative view is we are 7 points off 5th and our next 6 matches are versus teams below us. So the season is still alive 🤔
Which way is the #Boro elevator going? Continuing to go down to the basement or maybe be we are going up to the penthouse?
Guess we just have to dig in! #UTB

A home defeat to Watford on Saturday & we could be in 12th by 5pm.
Nothing less than a win needed.
After that there’s 42 points to play for. Our current form, style of play, no plan, shape or knowing best 11 it would be a challenge.
Poor defensively we need 2 goals at least to win a match #UTB

Learned it all from the #boro
Jamie would fit in well with our current team!

Saying that it’s one of the best OG’s ever 😂 (you can imagine Pep’s post match comments if he was manager at the time).

Wishing ELL all the best for his ongoing career! A tidy profit for #Boro
A deal that couldn’t be turned down! At our level £22.5m goes a long & ticks all the boxes both on & off the field.
With Almiron also signing for Atlanta he could be given the ammo to score bucketfuls!
Good luck Manu 👍

That may not be your best career move 🤦♂️

True Rob, think I’m going to have to wobble on a bit longer
7th in league, all to play for but I never thought I’d be so frustrated.
Defence is killing us this season.
Management mustn’t paper over the cracks by blaming a deflected goal & an own goal. Simply not good enough defensively again!

Ooh yes of course Gaz! My bad!
Thank goodness we lost in the FA Cup!
Gives us a few more days to knock the new recruits into shape ahead of Sheff Utd game!
Probably a godsend those extra days!

Yes Gaz agree 39 goals conceded is crazy for a team trying to get into the play offs!
(I was never thinking seriously we were a top 2 team before season began)
10 more conceded than any team in top 6. Not good enough!
Target was always play offs for me but we need to win Saturday!

We ain’t done too badly with our Villa signings but the less said about Gestede the better 🤦♂️

I’m aware they’ve a registration process (the window that opens Friday) a player can ‘sign’ anytime but can’t play until registered in the registration window to play.
I used signing as a base word as limited words. My point being he could still leave and sign/register for Atlanta after Monday

(Cont…) our deadline prevents us buying not selling.
The key is knowing if he is interested as we need his replacement signed by deadline Monday.
Since he can’t sign for Atlanta til Friday it’ll be interesting if he’s around Rockliffe this week or on a plane ✈️ over there! Injury not helping #UTB

Maybe £500k & £500k plus add ons might swing it?
Money tight in January. He’d be a huge asset for an overall sum of c£1.5-£2m total
I personally would be happy if we signed him on a permanent deal
