Well, whatever, it clearly didn't work!  :)

They played some really nice football, did Boro, but they got carved open on the break. Both sides were playing weakened line-up.  Conway came on at 3-0 down, he didn’t change the game!!!

So you're saying he couldn't even get a start in a weakend side?  He must be made up.

It was interesting that Coburn started ahead of Conway last night. Carrick trying to work him out maybe.

I thought Coburn was great in The Maginifent Seven - didn't see him as a footballer though.  Maybe Carrick needed a hard man in the team.

Just easing him in I'm sure. Carrick knew what he was getting and wanted him and Boro spent well to get him. I'm not sure TC had much of a pre-season either.

They need a hard man in the midfield, someone like Bronson

He refused to sign a new contract with his boyhood club to force through a move to a team that has just lost 0-5 at home to Stoke. Add to that, the place is is also the only area in the world that is considered to be a bigger shit hole than Stoke. I’d say he’s had a shocker personally.

If you think 

1. That he will live in Middlesborough

2. That the "area" just a few miles from the town is a shithole.

3. He has not profited substantially from the move.

4. League Cup results are an accurate barometer for how things will go this season.

You are the one having a shocker.

Well Stoke is not exactly a good team to highlight given his last experience with Stoke before his move.  What's a goal between friends.

Agree with this 100%. Think people need to calm down a bit about this transfer. Tommy did not fit into how Manning wants to play and so far (early days I know!) our replacements up front look bloody good.

That really is a game I was expecting him to start, thought it strange that he didn't

He will get absolutely slated at AG if he plays in the return I suspect.

Based on some of the Bryan and Palmer booing, combined with the social media comments.

Bryan got a good round of applause when he came over to the South Stand/Lansdown corner and rightly so

Heard some booing for Bryan vs Millwall, I'm in the Dolman though. Think it maybe was pantomime booing in fairness, possibly from the Safe Standing area.

Playing off the main striker in a position he never really played for us 

Is he?  Thought from the line-ups he’d be central, Burgzorg left, Jones right, Azaz behind?  You been watching?

(I’ve just flicked over from Burnley to have a look)

I'm watching, he's moving about but predominantly behind Burgzorg alongside Azaz with very little on the left

This average position has him a little further forward than I've seen but certainly no one left

Yeah, looks a bit of a lop-sided double 10.

fwiw Nige was originally intending to play him as Weimann’s understudy in the no10 role.  They saw him as being capable of making the sane runs and cool finishing.

I said that so many times ! I think he will be a success in a deeper role

And as a bonus less likely to be caught offside.  You need a target man for that to work though which we had with Martin and Semenyo
