Boro scored an unlikely equalizer in the 97th min of 95 mins of injury time against Millwall In fact they were 2-0 down after 88mins only to come back to 2-2 Has 7 key players missing and transfers deals still to be done, more or less a reserve Boro side so will take a point all day long. You must be well happy with that, Millwall must have gone off to the showers! Nice win for Potter against the blades, I'm happy this morning. Smoggy 1 Link to comment

You must be a happy camper this morning, top of the league no less, we softened them up for you on Saturday or they really are a soft team. Did that Traore fella play or has he gone now?

Did that Traore fella play or has he gone now? Only 2 other teams played yesterday I think but by all accounts it was a very comfortable win indeed. Yeah, looks like Traore is off to Wolves so didn't play. Mixed emotions about that, on his day he is unplayable and can beat many players with pace to burn, but on too many occasions he goes missing and when you want / need him to step up in a big game he doesn't, he is a bit of an enigma. Boro are well short of having a team to challenge for promotion, need at least 4 or 5 new players in by the end of the month, permanent or on loan, whichever. Link to comment

Smoggy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Nice pre game display by the Boro fans yesterday...'Smogs - Lets go to work" Another comfortable win, but Pulis is correct, the squad does not have enough depth and desperately need a good loan window, Leeds look the team to beat this season to me.

WSWJACK Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yeah, Lids have been threatening for last couple of years to push on, but Biesla is a genius stroke for them, defo got the favourites tag in my book. Will Biesla beast them and crock a couple halfway through, seems to be his style flat out or flat out on the physio's bench. Link to comment

Smoggy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Boro just totally nullified Leeds. Great solid performance, well grafted point at a very hard place to go. A perfectly executed game plan, typical Pulis as not always pretty but effective. Leeds will be more disapointed. 5 clean sheets on the bounce, joint top..take that heading in to the international break. Some were saying Leeds are the Wolves of this season and could run away from the rest. Seen enough tonight to suggest they should be pegged back with the rest. Middlesbrough are also solid rather than flash....but Boro are going to be a BASTARD of a side to play lol Not giving an inch. Edited August 31, 2018 by Smoggy Wanderboy 1 Link to comment

Swansea set up well, organised but with very little ambition from what I heard...they came and played for a point and were happy to leave with it. No issues with that, it is how it is in the grind that is the Championship, sometimes you have to dig in like Swansea did. Not a pretty game though. Swansea did to Boro what Boro did to Leeds a few weeks back. My concern about the Boro is not enough creativity to break teams down who play negatively and defend the the whole game in numbers. Missed out on a few winger and striker targets and until the transfer window opens again in Jan we will not be fully effective. Leeds were due a loss so that is good. Often a previous manager comes back to bite you in the arse. Edited September 23, 2018 by Smoggy Link to comment

WSWJACK Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 just looking at this morning's results, what a game at Villa Park 5 - 5 with Forest and a red card, what a league that is, so many teams of equal ability trying to get up and out into the money league. Would much rather watch the EFL than the plastic EPL, big money tycoons, sponsorship, big time charlies and TV money have ruined the purity of watching the EPL for me, money really is the root of all evil. beatsurrender 1 Link to comment

Of the two sets of fans, probably Villa more upset, if you score 5 goals at home against a team of ten men (albeit later in the game) going into the last ten mins leading, I think you would feel 2 points lost. all the same hell of a match for the neutrals, I'm a bit down though my Swans lost two on the bounce at home f*** it.

I always used to laugh when folks on this forum would slag off the support of english clubs like leeds and talk about how superior wsw support was. its pretty laughable looking back at those discussions now. wsw have had a couple of bad years and the support has halved in numbers, leeds have had 15 bad years and the support (while cynical and sarcastic at times) never wavered. Same can be said for boro, the wendies, forrest etc etc. you don't get that dogged loyalty in many other places and certainly not in the a-league. btw leeds will still **** this up and not get promoted - prediction - final day loss to already relegated ipswich to miss out on automatic and then lose the playoff final on pens.

As much as I don't like Leeds, I'd love them back in the top Div. As for atmosphere at games, I've been to plenty in the motherland. The best atmosphere has always been at the lesser clubs (so to speak). The clubs that struggle or were struggling at the time. When I lived out my life long dream and went to St James' Park and saw Newcastle, I was ultimately disappointed (considering the reputation). It did not help that they got beat 0-3 by West Ham, after Shearer scored early but was disallowed for offside. FFS! Been to White Hart Lane, Highbury, Stamford Bridge, Upton Park as well etc... Best atmosphere I ever experienced was a League Cup match between Forest and Cambridge. Next best was QPR vs Barnsley in the old Div 2. These lesser matches were more like Wanderers games. The upper tier matches were really boring. I stand to this day that some Wanderers matches (vs Roar 5-4) equal anything I've experienced in England in my small amount of exposure.
