    Eccles

    He’s a squad player for us, who is cheap because he came through the academy. Not a bad player but I don’t think he’d start week in week out for many, if any, championship sides.

    Eccles

    Think he’ll probably end up in League one/two. Ok enough technically but lacks that bit of aggression and confidence you need

    Yeah I’m not sure either, but we’ll try to and the quality of the squad isn’t great at the moment.

    Transfer targets

    The club will be ready for this. This was the expected outcome until a few weeks ago. Losing Vik and Hamer is devastating but if we can get to a 7-8 players who are top championship players then we could be stronger.

    The morning after the night that wasnt to be.

    Feel completely bereft. Cruel game. There are positives but will take some time to see them.

    Transfer targets

    Anyone saying we need a Forest style window should just stop. They had a £250m+ outlay and have taken on a ridiculous wage bill. If Forest go down they’re done. I’d be looking at 8-10 signings, but signings that would put us in a strong position if we go down. Nothing daft like Jesse Lingard...

    Potential retained list

    Don't think ripping up the squad would work. That said we'll need 5-6 successful improvements on the starting XI. Not sure how many new players that warrants.

    HAMER: BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

    He’s on a different level. Miles better than anyone Boro had up against him. On Sunday it felt like he was playing their midfield by himself. He’s PL level and then some.

    We still need him to get the ball under, get on the turn and do what he does best.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May

    As others have said, complete bollocks that they're content with that game and performance, and 'didn't get out of third gear'. They shaded it, I thought, but did nothing in the second half and let us dominate, though we didn't create much. Anything can happen on Wednesday night. Even if we'd...

    Yeah Sheaf not getting any minutes makes me think he's there in case something goes wrong, i.e. injury to Kelly Disappointing as I think he's made to play against this Boro side, and would free up Hamer to do more going forward

    Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May

    If Sheaf starts and plays well, we'll look a different side. I'm a bit unsure on what to do re Godden. He wasn't in the game, but then does a lot of unselfish running, and is there a risk Vik is isolated?

    Dave Boddy

    I think that’s a strange take. A CEO of a football club can’t take any credit for success? Not sure you do have to. Fisher was here a long time before Boddy though, and was more involved pre Boddy too - coincidentally a period of decline. Sunlit uplands only since Sir Boddy came in.

    True but Norwich have also bounced around the PL a fair bit, whereas we’ve not always had a stadium to play in, hard to compare.

    Dave Boddy

    Tbf I think most football clubs outside the prem are pretty poorly run. The staff are all grossly underpaid and stretched way too thin. Doesn’t surprise me that it’s a shit show. That said Boddy will be largely judged on the first team performance, which clearly has been good.

    Head of Recruitment Chris Badlan and Chief Scout Stuart Benthom have left the Club.

    He publicly said he did at the Blackpool game, where he spoke in hospitality pre game.
