Squad18 Sep 2028

A one-man rearguard from Radek Vítek

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match16 Sep 2028

No end in sight to Middlesbrough's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Middlesbrough has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Taiwo Awoniyi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Middlesbrough this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Alex Bangura falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Callum Brittain is still paying for one afternoon at Middlesbrough

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Nobody could get near Dango Ouattara

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match16 Sep 2028

Point won or two lost for Middlesbrough?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Southampton? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Market18 Sep 2028

The Aidan Morris talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Middlesbrough know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market18 Sep 2028

Darragh Lenihan placed on the list

Middlesbrough have made Darragh Lenihan available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad23 Aug 2027

Aidan Morris keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Middlesbrough may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market23 Aug 2027

Tommy Conway puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Middlesbrough, and it is not being withdrawn.

Nobody could get near Brennan Johnson

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Ashley Phillips is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market23 Aug 2027

Yasin Ayari wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

Middlesbrough tie Stephen James down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Aidan Morris stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Aidan Morris and Middlesbrough agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Brennan Johnson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Middlesbrough this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Middlesbrough

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

In brief
