why bother you cant refute it, swallow it and move on and improve our spying skills. Pay the fine and accept points deduction for next time in championship and make sure we are promoted this season.

Honestly seeing shit like "suspicions" from other clubs about this is utter bollocks. Evidence or shut up. Haters hate upwards, no one was complaining when we lost to oxford, hull and boro over xmas.

Thought Jander was very good again today as well, very good ball recoveries and always looking to go forward with the ball.

You never tried "I know you wont let me touch your tits but" Sometimes you get lucky other times you get on the register.

Yeah i think the set up was all wrong. Larin just being a static target man but stewart just gives you that movement so if you can tactics to actually not lump it to the big man up front both can thrive but stewart way more dynamic today. Also fellows should never run towards our goal with the ball. Everyone (except charles) should stop trying to overcomplicate shooting.

Play utter shit to refute spying allegations then play much much better 2nd half

fucking hope the tactics have

no changes

probably Tonda's biggest HT talk today, will be interesting to see what he does. Hopefully someone is listening at boro's door

Also people staying get stewart on to hold the ball up better for larin Im not sure you've compared the 2 in that skill set. Bring on Stewart around 60 to start running for azaz against now tired CBs

It was like we were set up for another formation and our team didnt know who to track, what to do etc its crazy. Anyway we would be gutted if we played like boro and were 0-0 at HT. We can only get better as Tonda makes tactical changes and maybe personnel for the updated formation. Personally I'd have Charles in for Fellows to support Bree on right, play Azaz off Larin/Stewart, teach Leo how to defend and show the whole team what control and a completed pass looks like.

whole team is and he's fighting every ball as only way we are getting the ball upfield.

capital letters always works 😜

I would get Charles on for fellows and tell azaz to roam out there to drag ayling out wider

think we are trying to show the spying had no benefit

they spying on other forums

once game starts that is all we will talk about bro

Feeling an azaz masterclass today v his old team

yeah im doing nothing until kick off am already bored of reading about it

No Hackney for them and Downes back, Larin to run riot and create space for Fellows and Leo. With Boro frothing i think it will make our guys even more up for it.

Interstingly that Boro have a person sitting on the EFL board of directors Rick Parry Chair, Trevor Birch CEO then these guys, surely the Boro guy will have to recluse himself ?

Yeach Jesse Marsch was giving him lots of praise in the last call up and said he just needs to keep doing what he is doing. He's probably been even better since then, i expect him to defo be in the squad.

Yeah well i think Gibson is gonna take this as far as possible 2019–2022: Middlesbrough FC (via Steve Gibson) vs. Derby County (and related parties) What happened: In May 2019, Middlesbrough (with Gibson driving the action) launched legal proceedings against Derby County. They claimed Derby's alleged breaches of EFL Financial Fair Play (Profitability and Sustainability) rules — particularly the sale-and-leaseback of Pride Park stadium — unfairly allowed Derby to gain a sporting advantage. This allegedly cost Boro a play-off place in the 2018–19 Championship season. Details: The claim was reportedly valued at around £40–45 million in compensation. Gibson publicly raised the stakes, threatened/ pursued the action, and engaged in direct talks with former Derby owner Mel Morris. Outcome: In February 2022, an "accord" (settlement/resolution) was reached through private conversations between Gibson and Morris. The exact terms were not publicly disclosed, but it resolved the claims by Middlesbrough against Derby (and others), allowing Derby's administration process to move forward.
