Turning into the Gadget show on Middlesborough Forums: That phones capabilities he iPhone 17 Pro Max features a 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera with a 4x optical zoom (100mm equivalent) and 8x "optical-quality" zoom (200mm equivalent) using a next-gen tetraprism design. It supports a total 16x optical zoom range and up to 40x digital zoom for capturing distant subjects 🤣

Trying to put myself in their shoes. Just me or would you not really give a rats if this was the other way round? What massive advantage can be gained - maybe early info that Hackney was not fit…..

Stream anyone?

Autos………..long shot I know

Lallana will be taking over the U21’s as Head Coach.

Just don’t understand the five at the back. Clearly has not worked and at this point the caretaker manager has no expectations so why not change it? Playing a winger who got 14 assists in this league last year at fullback makes no sense

I have heard the opposite from a coach within the club at youth level. Does not come across very well but quite frankly, these players have won four league games in 17 months, perhaps some reflection on themselves wouldn’t go amiss

Doyle will not be the last to leave out of this batch of youngsters. I have been told by someone who coaches within the club that youth team players that have gone through the age groups where not happy with the terms offered to the two players we got in from Tottenham recently. For a number of years, the club has had a structure around salaries for youth players - that went out the window for the two high profile signings from Tottenham and it did not go down well. Personally, if I had dedicated my development since an 8 year old to a certain club and had been told that we have a structure around financials to keep kids grounded and that changes to hoover up talent elsewhere, it would not sit right with me.

If true (highly doubtful) - considering how United have been working in the world of football over the past decade I wouldn’t call it a glowing inditement of Ralph’s managerial ability

Describe clutching at straws

Ultimately if Ralph was any good at this level then he wouldn’t still be at Saints, the Premier League and top European clubs have had a lot of movement in managerial appointments over the past three years - not one solid sniff of interest in Ralph. Clubs can see past the tight budgets and restrictions in his role when hiring, he is just not that good and hopefully SR have seen it now

Well, someone’s been talking to the Daily Mail. Loose lips sink ships - May have some sort of bearing on people mentioning at the forum last night that you could see some tension. Beginning of the end I think Considering what I believe to be good work in the market so far by SR, it would be nice to see who they could bring in

#Colwillwatch was at the game tonight in the stands

Adam Armstrong - Do want him to come good, has something about him the one positive so far tonight

Nathan Jones? - that’s a bit left field…..
