3 wins in 14. 7 times in the league we’ve conceded 3 goals. Very difficult not to feel frustrated watching this #Boro team. If it wasn’t for the daughter I’d struggle to muster the enthusiasm for anymore away games, she just loves the experience of following us on the road 🚗

One thing I forgot to point out is Tommy Conway. If he was fit I’d be much more comfortable with selling LL this month. MC said prior to Blackburn that Conway is “out for a number of weeks”. Coming into a massive run of games, we may have to throw someone new in immediately 😬

Teams around us have dropped points, win needed 🤞 Come on #Boro #UTB

#Boro start 2025 with a 93rd min win 😮‍💨 > 1st half both teams were really poor > 2nd half we came out much better, just couldn’t put the ball in the net > Carrick nailed his subs, made them earlier & made a big call to take Azaz off when chasing the game > Hull terrible > LIMBS

Another year following #Boro around the country, best hobby ever 🚗 40 games & 13 stadiums 🏟️ This year me & the daughter also had the once in a lifetime honour of modelling the new @Boro shirt👕 Happy New Year to you all 🎉 Fingers crossed that 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ will be Boro’s year🤞

A #Boro Boxing Day with the family 🎄🥊 #UTB

Hope you all loved your #Boro and football related Christmas gifts 🎁🎄 The daughter got a ticket to Hull vs Boro on New Year’s Day, she’s also coming with me to tick a UCL match off my football bucket list 🪣📋✅ The wife was delighted with her home shirt & ticket for tomorrow 🤣

#MerryChristmas  to all you wonderful #Boro fans 🎄 Hope the big man has delivered today, with one final gift of 3️⃣ points to come tomorrow 🎅🏻🤞

Give this Christmas to someone special 🎅🏻 #MerryChristmas  #Boro

Thoughts on the #Boro game: > Not at our best, but a win is win against a very good defensive team > Sol Brynn MOTM for me, it’s his shirt to lose now for me > Great to have Rav back in the team Had to win given how other results went, now need to win Plymouth 🟢

“Dad, is there two buses so Neil Harris and the director of football can travel separately?” 🤣

Come on #Boro Dad Prediction: 🔴 1-0 🦁 Daughter Prediction: 🔴 1-0 🦁 #UTB

#Boro vs Millwall #PredictCarrick 🔮 > Think Fry comes back if recovered > McGree illness = Burgzorg starts > Should be a good game for Barlaser & Hackney as they won’t be pressed anything like they were midweek > Have a feeling Ayling comes back in > Coin toss between LL & TC

Looking at #Boro’s opponents today - Millwall 🦁 > Joint 6th best defence in the league > 6th for xGA (so it’s not a fluke) > Joint 2nd best defence on the road > Beat Leeds & Burnley at home 1-0 > Not lost by more than a goal this season Could be a tough nut to crack 🥜🔨

It’s very likely #Boro drop out the play-offs in the next 24 hours. But I don’t see any reason to panic. I thought we’d get 1 point from these two away games, 2 points max. So I can’t be annoyed with 1. This next block of games are far bigger, we need minimum 4 wins (1/2)

Thoughts on the #Boro game: > Poor for the first 20 mins > Not an outright clanger from Dieng, but he has to do better > We were the better team following the equaliser > Weakest areas of our team that are the difference between play-offs and autos brutally exposed - GK, RB, LB (1/2)

Last #Boro away day of 2024 for me and the daughter 🗓️ Her third visit to Elland Road in 12 months ✅✅✅ #UTB 🔴

Looks like we’re down to single seats for Boxing Day 👀 Looking forward to it 🎅🏻⚽️ #Boro

Football is more than just a game, it’s about creating memories and passing the torch to the next generation 🤝 Took the daughter as usual on Friday night, with the addition of the boy for his first #Boro away game, the love we received from fellow fans was heartwarming ❤️ (1/3)

It’s about time Dan Barlaser got some praise, was hearing negativity about him again in the lead up to the game yet he’s put in another excellent display. Assisted Dijksteel, put it on a plate for Edmundson. He should be staying in the team on Tuesday, give him his flowers 💐

Thoughts on the game: > Great play between Barlaser & Dijksteel for the goal > Once we got the goal we sat off them and it was a matter of time before they scored > Dieng poor for the equaliser > Unlucky not to win it 2nd half, had 3-4 chances Very good away point for #Boro

Her: Do you have anything nice planned for the kids while I’m away? Me: Sort of The boy’s first ever @Boro away game 👦 New ground for the daughter 👧🏟️✅ #Boro #UTB

Great evening with @chrisboroutb.bsky.social at The Riverside learning about Boro’s crest and contributing towards the new one. As a designer and #Boro fan it was a dream to feel a part of this process. Hosted by the amazing Gary Philipson with a great insight by @untypicalboro.bsky.social #UTB

This other #Boro badge suggestion being a close 2nd choice

For me personally, I’d like to see #Boro do what Man City did. Go back to a classic badge and modernise it. Return to the 1986 badge, change it to 1876 and throw some computer varnish on it.

Top evening being part of the @Boro club crest workshop hosted by Gary Philipson (of course) Great to have an exchange of ideas with fellow #Boro fans of all ages as to what the clubs’s new crest should look like. Some familiar faces too in @marutb.bsky.social @pburke1981.bsky.social

#Boro vs Blackburn 🏆 We go again 💀

If you haven’t got your #Boro tickets for Sheff Wed on Boxing Day or Burnley on the 29th, I’d consider doing so very soon 🎟️ Steady queue at the ticket office since it opened at 10am 👀 #UTB

Who are we all wanting in Monday’s FA Cup third round draw? 🏆 Personally, I want an away game at a stadium I’ve not seen #Boro play in. Tottenham Hotspur away (unoriginal I know). If not, Leyton Orient or Harrogate away.

Btw, I have a spare for Burnley away if anyone is after one. DMs should be open 🤝🏻 #boro

The last time the boy came to the #Boro match we scored five goals ✋ Hoping for similar luck today 🤞🍀* *Not a prediction 😄

Come on #Boro Dad Prediction: 🔴 2-1 🐯 Daughter Prediction: 🔴 3-0 🐯 #UTB

Missed penalty, 2 red cards & late winner. Not a lot of quality on show, but it was an entertaining game 🍿 Tonight was another reminder why we ain’t Top 2. Even when they don’t play well, Sheff Utd just find a way to win. They’re brilliant at home, don’t concede goals 🏠🛡️

To clarify, I’m not ruling out Top 2 as a reaction to last night. It was very unlikely 10 games in, and despite an excellent purple patch I’ve seen little to change that. Personally I’m fine with that, play-offs were always my aim for #Boro Expectations need to be managed 🧵

That’s the hat-trick of bogey teams that have beaten us this season: Bristol City, Coventry and Blackburn 😑 Hopefully this defeat is a wake-up call for some #Boro fans, we’re not good enough for automatic promotion. Anyone suggesting we are is setting unrealistic expectations.

#Boro thoughts: > We looked like what we are, a patched up team missing 6/7 players > Azaz HUGE miss > Conway & Lath just doesn’t work (limited options tonight though) > Hamilton still raw, just isn’t ready yet > Carrick’s subs continue to frustrate, 81 mins is far to late

Me going to bed tonight thinking of my list of clubs I’d happily see relegated so #Boro never have to play them at home again…

Well…..

Amidst all the excitement, happiness and traveling this weekend, I forgot to do the very satisfying update of officially ticking off another of the 92 🏟️✅ Don’t think I’ll tick off any more new grounds this season, unless next week’s FA Cup draw gives us a good one 🏆

😬 #Boro #UTB

Hectic weekend of fun, football & family is done 😮‍💨 I’m very fortunate to have family who either share my passion for #Boro or are willing to travel hours to make a weekend of it 🫶 Very impressed with Oxford city centre👌 No better hobby than following your football club ❤️⚽️
