BORO [A] the verdict ..... Struber & Players 1, The Board 0

Season 6, Ep. 49
•

Owner Steve Lansdown elected to use his private jet and fly in to watch this one. There were some amongst the fanbase thinking a heavy defeat against 2nd placed Boro might see Struber sacked for poor form and his media mutterings about lack of investment.


What the fans were treated to was a spirited performance from the team that showed their Austrian boss has not lost the dressing room and they themselves are not on the beach with nothing left to play for.


When Adam Randell's power header drew City level in the final minute of time added on it was no more than they deserved even if they had to thank Vitek for producing some fine saves and along with poor finishing from an unusually subdued Boro side.


With season tickets for 26/27 going on sale very soon how do the board sell what there true intentions really are.

    01:21:45||Season 7, Ep. 5
    DaveP and the panel review a disappointing start to the season as City lost 2-0 at home to Millwall.The Lions were strong early on but City fought their way back into the game until Randell's foolish challenge earned him a second yellow card and after that there was only going to be one winner.Both goals conceded were soft and there appears little understanding between Dickie and goalkeeper Tickle who makes no attempts to dominate his 6 yard area and take crosses.Skubala has played in a particular formation most of pre-season but threw all that out of the window for this game and why he elected to wait until half time before making the logical substitution which would have made 10 man City more solid only he will know.More of this and it could be a long hard season.

    01:20:17||Season 7, Ep. 2
    Beating Newcastle probably didn't help as expectations were raised going into these two games, Whilst City didn't lose either they didn't exactly impose themselves on the lower league opposition.he Plymouth line up was the stronger side and by our reckoning no more than three of those who started the game at Exeter are likely to make it to the 11 selected for Millwall in the opening league fixture.DaveP debates the action and more with Dave Tovey, Ant Banks & Paul Hunt
