If he performs well these first few games, he may leave by the end of this window. Last season was a stand out season for him, so he may be seen as a one season wonder.
I'll be glued to how our defence perform. Am sick to fckn death of gifting goals.
You say that but this is a Boro side who haven't won the opening game of the season for like 10 years.
It's our specialty at gifting teams their overdue win mind
Stats like that are meaningless though, a completely different group of players playing against another completely different group of players
This is true
Literally anything could happen today. Just want anything apart from a shambles.
Last season we genuinely approached quite a few games as if we had absolutely no chance so it wasn't worth the effort of competing, the 4 games against Saints and Leeds being the most obvious ones but there were quite a few others. That is something I definitely don't want to see again this season so I hope Luke has instilled the mentality that we can and will compete in every game starting today. This is not a nice season opener for sure, but Boro will also have some new players who will still be bedding in so there's no reason to assume they will click as a team immediately so having the right mental attitude from the first whistle is absolutely essential.
