Hopefully the comment about the budget will help set expectations a bit. We all want success but we need to recognise even to make mid table we are punching.

I hope we get to see young players given a game or two for a change before we ship them out on loan. I can’t help being from the generation that saw some great players step up here and if the expectation is only mid-table surely we can have the pleasure of seeing one or two kids trying to make it in the game. Not a kid, but don’t tell me S D-M wouldn’t have contributed more to the team than Hendrick?

Not a kid, but don’t tell me S D-M wouldn’t have contributed more to the team than Hendrick? me too, i always love seeing someone from the academy make it in the first team. i agree too on young players being given a chance as what they lack in experience they can make up with genuine hunger and determination. i reckon sinclair armstrong will be involved in the first team quite a bit next season and wouldn't be surprised to see him play 20+ games for us next season. he looks like an absolute beast too, built like a tank and very pacey which is something we've really lacked since BOS and nahki left. i've noticed that arkell jude-boyd has been featured quite a bit in our training pictures too. i don't know much about him but maybe beale sees something in him |

Never in my years have I seen so much hype about a new coach/manager.
Is he the second coming?J.C.

Reckon he may well be rueing coming to us for his first crack as a number one. Unreal to think we cannot even give him the makings of a half decent squad to work with. What are the boards expectations this season as we know last season it was the play offs at least.

Highly rated is Beale so fuck knows why the fella has come to us as no manager/coach can succeed with the shite at his disposal. |

Tactically - Beale did a number on Wilder first half. Wilder definitely did a number on Beale second half but Mick just edged it in the end and deservedly so.

Thought the subs were smart Stan. Brought on Albert for an outlet when our forwards ran out of legs. Packed the midfield and shut up shop after that. Sensible game management.

Smart subs yes Tarbs, but Wilder definitely switched things up start of 2nd half to get them back in the game and dominated large chunks of that period. Thought we did so well considering all our missing key players and it was a deserved victory in the end. Boro are undoubtedly a good side though.

I`m really pleased for him, but imo he should have taken a very tired Dykes off for Bonne earlier.

He speaks very well. Wouldn't be surprised to see him manage in the prem if his management is on the same level.

It did help Boro scoring so close the the end of the first half...came out with a lot more confidence than if they'd have gone in at 3-0 |

So Armstrong plays at Charlton then? Looking forward to a look at him.

There can be no doubt now that MB has his work cut out this season. I hope he relishes a challenge, because I think we can already see what a poor squad he's inherited. For that reason, he deserves to be given the whole season just to try and steady the ship. I don't know what the board offered him to come here, but if he can sort this mess out he deserves every penny.

And the board will hopefully make additional funds available for him. You may very well call it emergency funds.

How much weaker our squad is than it was last season? Can't see any big difference.

Moses. Left or right back. Should have kept him.

And Beale has said he likes players who can play more than one position.
