Great video mate, completely feel your emotions, I’ve struggled to get over this one massively and I’m really worrying for our playoff aspirations now with the pack of teams in behind us

It's not a derby ffs why you saying it is 🤬

100% agree with you here

Never a Derby, the skunks are our derby

Undoubtedly, you were beaten by a better team. GoodLook for the rest of the season though

Yesterday and Sheff wed on boxing Day feel like season defining results to me. Personally ive had enough of Carrickball. We haven't progressed in two years whereas Le Bris has transformed a joke team last season into everything we arent. Hungry, tough, determined. Change in the summer please.

I got the impression at 2-2 that Boro were happy to play for a point. Were they scared of Isidor's pace and Lee Fee? I think so. Boro were excellent for 30 minutes but missed their chances. Carrick never gives credit to opposition and blames decsions, breaks etc. Boro should be in the top six but their defence is vulnerable especially Edmuson who has just been brought in hasn't he?

Sunderland fan here. It wasn't just Le Fee, despite ultimately being the game winner. I think RLB really outsmarted Carrick in the second half, bringing O'Nien a little higher into the halfback role, tightening the midfield and bringing in the defence narrower. Credit to Hackney, who reminds me of Cattermole - stomps about the pitch and keeps things moving, but just doesn't offer *that* much, in terms of all-round ability. Much like your views on Boro and Carrick, as the season's progressed, a lot of Sunderland fans have been worried about inconsistency and/or game management. I was shocked at how the Boro team shied away, after the first equaliser, and looked like they couldn't wait to get for the whistle to go for the first half to finish.

Le Fee reminded me of Juninho, looks a classy!

You Smoggies dominated the first 20 mins + because you came out as you should for a "Derby" match - all guns blazing us Mackems for some reason seemed to not treat the A19 Derby with the same respect but it didn't take us long after the first goal to realise our mistake and that changed to whole game - Now go forth and beat Sheff Utd (Please) who knows we might meet again in the Play off's or even the Final - Keep The Faith

Boro played alright and showed they can be a threat, but always felt slow physically and mentally at the back. This match finishing as the window had an hour left to close may have been the wake up call that came too late for Boro to strengthen at the back. As a Sunderland fan we've took the hit when being in League 1 and last season, to develop a model of scouting that is designed to work to an overall tactical aystem.

Always a tendency to see the class half full after a defeat especially to local rivals. So there'll be lot of negative comments. I do agree Matt Clarke is as good if not better than George Edmunson. So not sure what's goingon there. Transfer window, the big disappointment to me was not securing another defensive midfield player. As for where Boro should be, according to squad values the should be 5th/6th. Other teams have talented squads too. Highly unlikely MC will be going anywhere, he's seven months in to a three year contract and is able to attract players that other managers could not. Besides it would cost a fortune to get rid. For the second half of the season Boro's squad depth should start to tell. One final thought, IMO we miss McGree, he's maybe not as eye catching going forward but he just gives is extra defensive cover.

Our star players have not been good of late and we have sold our leading goal scorer, what is the point of having ambition if every time you unearth a goal scorer you sell him? Our players in their current form are not a top 2 team, far from it but if we stay in the top 6 and hit form, which we know we are capable of, well it is nearly always the form side that wins. if if if and if not very if'ng confidence inducing is it.

This season’s a write off, fingers crossed we have our equivalent of Brentford’s promotion season next year. They sold Watkins and replaced him with Toney, hoping Latte Lath’s eventual permanent replacement will have the same impact

Told ya giles would score an own goal & we get beat. We were missing dyksteel pace at the back yesterday. Aiyling got torn to absolute shreds esp for pace. 3 rating! For me

Like One of my favourite movies. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly in that game. What else is there to say Infront, Should of been further in front. Didn't happen, even behind. Then even Looking ominous Then behind Game 🎮 Over 🚀🙄

Has Middlesbrough's defeat to Sunderland left you worried? Comment below!

Never a derby

A true Derby is two teams from the same town or city, ie, Liverpool Everton, Forest and County, Manchester United Manchester City.

The answer is simple ffs, it's a North East Derby. As is Newcastle, Hartlepool, Darlington, Billingham Synthonia. Stockton fat bellys, and Thornaby Academicals 😅

Mike is one hell of an optimist 😂

4-0 Sunlun 😮 Hoping this ages like sour milk 😂

By definition of a real derby, Sunderland v Newcastle is not a real derby. Not from the same city. Frankly, I'm not bothered either way

This game all depends on weather boro can actually field any strikers! But if no stikers start then sunderland will batter us! Conway at least needs to be Playing!!

Cheers for having me on 🎉

Is Middlesbrough vs Sunderland a real derby? Comment below!

Emanuel latte lath has he gone to MLS Atalanta

Sunderland supporter. It all depends which Boro side turn up. Hoping Ayling plays right back as Robert’s will skin him alive. We will have way too much pace up top for your back line. Sunderland to win 2-1 Ha way the Lads

You say Sunderland won't sit back but they sat back in the game at their ground.

Gee people have short memories. When mgree gets a run of games, and form that comes with it, he is our best player. His best position is no. 10. The issue with Riley is he is injury prone.

We will get battered by scumberlsnd! Boro 0 sunderland 3. No strikers up front for us & whittiker will have a lazy stinker for us if he plays. Starts off with us passing it back to the goal keeper fannying about at the back & it goes passed him. Basically an own goal & we go down to men to. Giles sent off

2-1...

3 0 to boro

Fancy a 2-0 win

Think Boro will throw a spanner into their chances of automatic promotion on Monday...utb

How will Middlesbrough get on against Sunderland? Comment below!

just watched your piece, you were wrong on just about all your points.

Great update mate! Lots going on, far more than we anticipated, it’s becoming a bit of a mini ruthless overhaul from Boro! Reaffirms our desire to really go for it I think, hopefully the signings work and we can get that promotion!

I think Boro would be crazy to sell Gilbert, especially for anything close to 2 million. Had a great end to last season and should be getting more minutes now he is injury free. Should have replaced Azaz well before he did against Preston. He always seems to make things happen. Loan only for me.

Great to see Mark Travers in hopefully a few days training before a big first start on Monday Night,

My brother in law is a Brentford fan and he seemed shocked and rather put out that they had let him go so I assumed he was a very promising player.

Travis getting a medical today

What deals do Middlesbrough still need to do this month? Comment below!

We need 2 keep Djiksteel?

Frank Spencer, start using 1st names or courtesy titles or else, otherwise go back to School or College !!!!!

I think we need to strengthen the Manager and Assistand Manager positions, get a team in who can coach and organise a defense as it is possible to attack but still be solid in defence, something Carrick does not understand. Maybe he should have a chat with Scott Parker. It's not just the defensive side of the game with Carrick either sadly, he is incapable of changing things when his Plan A is not working, and I think that is largely because he does not have a Plan B, but his substitutions are often ineffective and also made far too late to influence anything. 3 Wins in our last 11 games is pretty poor by anyone standards.
