My 11 to start next game. 442. Kaminski, Hashioka, Burke, Mengi, Bell, Chong, Kraus, Nakamba, Doughty, Morris,Adabeyo.

A very honest reflection chaps. Must have been a tough one to do. A very fair reflection I thought. We had a very poor transfer window, i dont know who takes the blame for that. Personally i would like Edwards to stay, but the players need to step up and fight. I just hope that Burke and Bell are fit to return we drop Mcguiness who has been a poor signing, and revert to 442. Surely we have lost enough games to realise that we need a stronger midfield. Been thinking the same about Nakamba, surely he can play one game a week? Great and tough content this week.

have watched this a few times its clear that THEY have to say its a surrender because the alternative is more worrying that Boro were far superior in every department

Excellent listen with a very good take on the situation. It’s far from a straight forward problem to solve.

Again the stat say it wasn't a white flag seems your agenda is prelevent the stat show you were dominated and 15 fouls against shows you were challenging

Guys - please cut out the swearing, its a great podcast but let down by the amount of 'f' words - I appreciate last week was really frustrating but you still don't need to resort to foul language.

not really getting what XG means yes if you don't score it looks like it means nothing but its based on the attacking play and you don't get high XG unless you have lots of chances and lots of domination as you seen on Saturday

I rtemember some years back the Charlton Athletic fans were getting a " bit sick" of finishing mid table in the Premier league for several seasons. So they got rid of Alan Curbushley who had performed miracles really. Look where Charlton are now and have been for a very long time. Just a thought...from a Boro fan. Up the Boro!!!.

That must have been difficult to record - and it’s painful reliving the match. I think the point about some of the players not wanting to be here or not giving 100% is totally valid. We need to get them out of the team, as well as some of the old guard who aren’t performing and some of our newer players who clearly aren’t that good - play 7 or 8 of the Youth team. Need a change of personnel and a change of system, but most importantly a change of attitude from some of these players. Having said all that, I have just booked my hotels for Norwich, Blackburn, Bristol C. & Swansea away - COYH

The club have some big decisions to make. It's all gone quiet for now, I assume they're either in crisis talks with Rob or talking with potential replacements. If he stays, then they need to get to the bottom of what's gone wrong, and plan a way for him regain the confidence of the dressing room and trust of the fans. If he leaves, then they need to find a replacement that brings something different, I'm thinking Rob might just be too nice to get the players out of this rut. This is the first season since maybe 2017/18 that we've been considered anything but underdogs, maybe we're just not set up for that sort of season or expectation.

I feel sorry for Rob , he obviously cares about the club ( would help if SOME of the players felt the same way ), It looks like he is taking all of the blame and it's affecting his health. I think he should stand down for his own well being. If that happens whoever comes in ,needs to put a rocket up the players bottoms ! 🤬 If they want to be in the squad then prove it , anyone that doesn't put the effort in , then they can sit on the bench ( or go somewhere else ) and give another player a chance to prove themselves. Some of the players need to take a good look in the mirror and ask themselves '' Am I playing to my best ability ? ''🤔

Where are the loan players that every other club seems to obtain from up and coming players in the premier league reserves sides? (i.e. Nakamba from Villa 2 years ago, Sami form Arsenal last season etc) We have done it before

Good video we all love Rob but think we need a change the players need different voice perhaps sack is back room staff see if that helps.

Very good boys spot on 😢

Rob and the club are in a massive hole, and cannot dig themselves out of it - if Rob remains in charge. The club’s record since the high point of thrashing Brighton 4-0 has been horrendous. Last 17 games in the Prem: 12 defeats, 4 draws and just ONE win. This season: already 8 defeats in just 15 games, joint 3rd from bottom and only Portsmouth have conceded more goals. It’s over. Regrettable as it is, Rob has to be sacked. If not, the “Town are heading Down”. It’s just not working.

Lads Pelly is NOT the answer he’s league 1 at best …his positional awareness is non existent time and time again players drift off him …it’s time to move on , the kind of players we need are now playing for other clubs like Campbell and berry.

In the cold light of day the simple truth is that we have won two maybe three midfields all season Watford West Brom and Cardiff …there is no supply to the front two and no protection to the back three…..it doesn’t take a genius to work out that we need to change the formation to a 4 4 2 at home and a 4 5 1 away….these systems work ask Leicester city in 2015 ….We all know Edwards is a nice guy but his game management is poor even with some average players , recruitment has been a joke both on the pitch and back room staff and the board have completely lost a connection with the paying fans which is the very framework that the success of this great club has always been built on….time for wholesale changes from top to bottom.

That was a tough listen but an even tougher watch on Saturday - I agree with most of what you said Kev but most of those players didn't deserve to be supported, there was no fight and no pride in the shirt of themselves and if they do it again they don't deserve our support and deserve to be criticised and if Rob isn't going to tell them its unacceptable and keep playing them instead of players we know have that pride and fight (and yes I am talking about Pelly) then he also doesn't deserve our support. All I want from my team is to show pride and commitment when they pull on that shirt and play the best they can

How many times has this now happened, with different starting 11’s. I’m afraid Robs making mistake after mistake and let’s be clear he has put these dud midfields out week after week. We’ve all seen this coming.

We've played well for the full 90 mins in ONE game this season. A few ok games too, but plenty have been dire. Something needs to change and fast. We thought we'd signed an All-Stars Championship team when we got promoted to the Premier League so we'd do well if we went down. Attrocious defending v Boro. We were actually playing quite well until they scored. Confidence is shot and where's the fight and passion. Yes, Pelly isn't the most technically gifted but give me his energy over the half hearted attempts to close down opponents by Walsh and Clark. Feel so sorry for him that he barely gets 5 minutes if he's lucky.

Luton's secrecy, including refusing to disclose transfers, injuries and other issues affecting the club, means there's no accountability. And to be fair Jimbo, Mike Simmonds and other journos need to stop the softballs and ask serious questions.

Mick & Dicky Dosh would have got us up in 3 seasons. They were calling fot JS's head in the promotion season. Rob should get until Christmas, unless he doesn't believe he can turn it around in which case he needs to go now.

We so miss Tom Lockyer

Dont want Rob to leave but we need to accept our defence cannot cope without cover. Away from home we need to b tighter and stop worrying about playing football to look pretty. No point if powder puff. Remember what was successful

I'm not sure the current midfielders have discipline and fight. We let Campbell go although understand decision but replaced him with powder puff. Do not understand what is happening with Nakamba but he gives us cover when fit

Great podcast gents. I’m so glad you’ve talked about RE. It’s so easy to forget that managers are human beings and are not immune to stress and not perform at their best but there’s no hiding place. A player can be dropped if he has a couple of shit games but a manager has to motivate himself. My worry with Rob is he is too emotionally invested in individuals that don’t reciprocate and that feeds into his decisions. He needs strong characters around him to get the players in line and he needs the backing of the board for a fixed period of time to turn it round. The personal abuse he’s getting is completely unacceptable.

❤ the analysis 👌🏽 definitely ❤ the hair pun 🤣

as a boro fan i beg to differ we BORO have dominated nearly every game we have played even when we lost all that was needed was the click of the attackers it has clicked its disengenuous to say you surrendered no you were dominated

I thought your direct hard comments early-on were deserved and correct. However like the match on sat i turned off tv well before the end, too much of a bad thing is not good for your health. Tip keep the podcast much shorter. Also, don't want to hear your opinion on global politics brought up in such podcast. Absolutely nothing to do with the abysmal too regular performances. The players should have their pay cut for rest of year and Rob should step down. It's as much a man-management problem as it is football theory and practice. coyh.

Well done chaps, you have covered a lot here. At one point I thought you were not going to mention the lack of a holding midfielder on Saturday but you did. It must have been difficult to do this recording especially so soon after the match. Hopefully the players got the hairdryer treatment and Rob gets some rest so he is in a better state of mind to continue. COYH!

Nice to hear the humane words re Rob, lads. The players are letting Rob and the fans down, yet he gets the abuse? He's had a lot to deal with, as you said, and he comes over as a sensitive soul, so the abuse he's getting is disgusting. I presume by social media you're referring to Twitter, which I've swapped recently for Bluesky. A more civilised place, with a small but growing enclave of Town fans.

Oh dear. Was a hard listen but nothing that every fan isn’t talking about to their mates down the pub so well done for reviewing a bad day at the office with such brutal honesty 😢

We are missing proper championship players and have too many wannabe prem players who are too weak for this league.

Get rid of Richie Kyle and Paul Trollop, I do not think that are helping matters, RE needs a better AM and coach than them two. Bring back Paul Hart.

James makes a valid point - for anyone under 40 years old, 27th May 2023 was the best day they will have seen as a Town fan. Anyone calling Rob a wanker or anything similar needs a good long look at themselves. Or better still, a slap!

I love the intro..."I love this town". Consistently voted the worst town in Britain! Joke town, joke team!!

well said kevin i still think rob edwards is the right man for the job

Players, manager and board all to blame. They share the success, they need to share the failure too. Either way they need our full support and to get behind the team no matter what. Fair play to the fans that travelled though. These people are the heartbeat of the club.

Edward’s biggest downfall is his post match interviews. If that’s our leader, god help us.

Mengi doesn't want to be here anymore. He's made that obvious now - get him, Woodrow and Walsh out the door in January. Taylor too, if he's not going to play. Big changes needed, top to bottom

I totally agree Carlton Morris was a fighter was proud of him that he stood up like a man , sad to not see his own team mates help him . Carlton had three players on him 😢😢COYH Rob does look extremely exhausted 😢

You're right, the players are to blame.Yes, some blame on the manager, but not all you need to sort.The players out Half of Then don't want to play

1. The squad - it's obvious to bloody everyone!! Too many injury prone players and not enough cover in key areas. The manager can only pick what is available to him and our squad was short throughout last season - and this year its even worse. How did this happen? 2. RE is a nice guy. Does he hold players accountable? Is he demanding enough of the board? None of us fans can really know, but his post match interview sounded like a public surrender from a man who didn't think he could do this any more, in which case he's probably going whatever anyone thinks. It strikes me that both RE and GJ were "nice guys" - and maybe the board needs a manager who's not quite so "nice" and will be more demanding of them and the players? 3. Whatever has happened, abusive comments are not acceptable and just make a bad situation worse. Fans don't enjoy losing badly - but personal abuse thrown at a guy who is clearly emotionally struggling is just dumb and unacceptable.

Fantastic podcast - very well thought out and considered views!

Omg, it was only a few days previous we battered QPR 4-1and you don't hear them calling for their manager to be sacked and they are bottom of the table, would be refreshing to hear a Luton fan say something like "you know what fans, Boro have the highest amount of attempts at goal then any other team in the championship and by quite a margin too, meaning they we're going to give someone a spanking if/when they got their act together BTW to lads we have lost quite a few games that we've totally dominated and had shot after shot but just haven't been able to find that elusive "net" but hopefully scoring 9 goals in the last 2 games means we've solved that problem but being a Boro fan i know only too well not to get my hopes up, So my unwarranted advice is don't be too downhearted and hard on your manager, still a long way to go yet, I bet when he got Luton promoted to the Premier League he was being hailed as the next messiah lol that's football its a funny old game,

Don't you think that you're taking a lot of credit away from Middlesbrough though? Boro are a good team!!

Maybe part of the answer to your question... The club have been trying to recruit a Lead Strength & Conditioning coach for quite a while now, so maybe noby is currently managing the Strength & Conditioning element. I might send my CV. 🥃⚽🥃

They'll probably go for a foreign manager if it comes to it

On a lighter note... Kev, NO player is capable of playing 3 matches in 90 mins! 😂😂😂

As you say, the issues at the moment are nuanced and multi-dimensional. However, a club like Luton relies on passion, fight, team spirit and discipline. If they are not in place to start with, you can forget sorting out the rest. I appreciate there is a confidence issue, however, the fact that Mengi has even been allowed his own UA-cam channel says a lot to me. Sort it out Luton - all of you.
