  • Class

    I grew up in Boro and moved to the North of Ireland later in life so it’s absolutely class to hear the weekly chat, honest opinions and insightful thoughts from these three, especially Dana.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back On Track!
Q: Would you like to see us stick with the starting lineup, the three at the back, or do we look to bring back Brown and Whitaker?
The hosts lean toward sticking with the winning lineup if fitness allows, noting the successful run and implying trust in the current back line and midfield structure, while acknowledging considerations for future changes depending on opposition (with a preference to maintain form).
The Opposition Show: QPR vs Boro
Q: Are there any vulnerable areas that you can see Boro potentially targeting and exploiting on Sunday?
Yes, there are multiple weak points identified, especially in goalkeeping instability and the leaky defense exacerbated by frequent injuries, which could give Boro opportunities to press and exploit defensive fragility.
The Opposition Show: Birmingham City vs Boro
Q: Gab, what does Birmingham City's style look like under the current setup, and which players should Borough be more wary of on Monday?
Gab highlights that Birmingham have shifted from a possession-based League One style to a more forward, front-foot approach in the Championship, with players like Tomoki Iwata and August Priest providing flexibility and pace. The emphasis is on a compact defensive shape with a capable counter and the ability to press from the front when possible, making certain players like Iwata keys to watch.
Silver Lining
Q: Do you guys think that Helberg got the team selection wrong yesterday?
Yes, there were arguments around whether changes were necessary, particularly questioning the exclusion of McGree who is usually a key player.
The Opposition Show: Sheffield United vs Boro
Q: How much of a miss will Patrick Bamford be for Sheffield United?
Bamford is a huge loss as he transforms the team dynamics, and his replacement Tom Cannon does not play the same influential role.
