Cardiff City:

- 23rd in the Championship
- Won only once away all season
- Won only 1 in 6 under Riza (permanently), drawing 2, losing 3
- Top goalscorer out suspended
- Joint 22nd for goals scored (24), 22nd for xG
- 20th for GA (39), 6th highest xGA

3 pts a must. No excuses.

Seeing a load of comparisons between Karanka’s promotion winning #Boro side, and Carrick’s current iteration.

The league has changed, and teams do get promoted conceding more. But this season Boro have already conceded 31 goals, the same number they conceded in ALL of 15/16. 🤯

Giles stood out for his offensive work, that masked over his defensive short comings. But even if we were to bring Giles back, we might improve offensively, but we’re already good enough going forward, it’s defensively where we have issues. So the system needs tweaking IMO

On Borges, could he do better defensively? Yes.

But is he completely at fault? No.

It’s no coincidence #Boro have had SIX LB’s who’ve been exploited defensively in this system, including Giles.

Stock-piling another LB won’t solve anything. It’s a system issue over personnel.

Boro hang on to there playoff place for Christmas on goals scored following West Brom’s 2-0 win today at home to Bristol City.

Will we stay there?

Stoke City going 1 man up following a Wednesday red in the first half, only to still get beat 2-0 is the most typical Stoke thing you’ll ever see.

I honestly don’t know how their fans continue to cope.

Credit to Wednesday though, won’t be an easy task Boxing Day.

A game to approach with CAUTION and PATIENCE.

Millwall have a very resolute defence, a top 6 defence who only average 40% possession.

They’re good without the ball, and they’ll allow #Boro the ball, and at the Riverside this season, that’s not been good news for Boro.

The wait for that away win goes on.

But I’d have took a draw before kick off.

A sickener that we took the lead and conceded in the way we did. Didn’t look good on the keeper. But they had the better 1st half, we had the better of the 2nd.

Fair result. A good point 👍

Great evening with @chrisboroutb.bsky.social at The Riverside learning about Boro’s crest and contributing towards the new one. As a designer and #Boro fan it was a dream to feel a part of this process.

Hosted by the amazing Gary Philipson with a great insight by @untypicalboro.bsky.social

Another player who deserves credit is Delano Burgzorg.

It’s no shock to see a player improve under Carrick.

His great skill and strength is still there, but his decision making is getting better.

He’s no Riley McGree, but he’s proving to be a very good alternative.

Tommy Conway.

9 starts, 8 goals.

3rd highest goal scorer in the league, 2nd best goals per 90 in the Championship.

Another outstanding piece of work from the recruitment team.

Not bad for a player taking a “sideways step” in his career ey 😉

Sheff Utd were poor tonight, they were 2nd best but found a way to win.

That’s what I meant post Blackburn, the top teams find a way. Leeds did vs Swansea, Blades did tonight, they use their bench & find a way.

That’s the difference between the top 2 and the rest.

We didn’t deserve to win the game, but that’s inexcusable from the officials.

How a professional linesman doesn’t see that offside is absolutely baffling.

It’s not even close, it’s not even tight, it’s so clear.

I honestly can’t comprehend how he’s not seen that. Wow.

Man City have blown a 3 goal lead and let me in for £200.

Happy bloody Tuesday. 🤦🏻

Here’s my predicted #Boro XI w/FanHub.

Honestly, it could be anything. I reckon Borges will be fit so the back 5 is straightforward.

Sadly, the midfield 2 will be completely different. Can’t see McGree coming straight in either.

Really hope Azaz and Doak start.🤞

Congratulations to Morgan Rogers!

But seriously, what a piece of business this has been for #Boro.

We sold Rogers for 8x the money we paid for him. Since we’ve had bonuses for #AVFC & UCL appearances, and now a bonus for his #England cap.

Add on the sell on clause.

What a deal from the club. 👏

Really enjoyed watching Boro Women today. By far the better side and were unfortunate to come away with only a point.

Will definitely be watching them again when I get the chance!

Confirmation of Hackney picking up a knock too.

Even a *minor* knee sprain will likely have Morris out for 4-5 weeks.

The positive is he’s got a week head start before we come back for the Oxford game.

Huge worry is there’s a lot of games when we come back, and he’ll likely miss the majority if not all of these.

Huge blow. 😨
