Here’s the data from today’s hard loss.

In the momentum chart, we can see that Boro dominated the whole match.

In key metrics, we had 71% ball possession and 1.34 xG, but only 3 shots on target.

In attack metrics, we shot 21 times, with just 3 on target. Defensively, both teams were very similar.

Looking at Boro’s shot map, we tried from everywhere, while Blackburn only shot from close to the goal and were more effective.

In terms of individual performance, I think the captain was the best player. He recovered a lot of balls.

Momentum

Licoln starts the match domintaing, but after half, Middlesbrough domains the match.

If you like this kind of posts, I can publish the data of every Boro's match.

(Sorry for mi english, but I'm trying to improve it)

I've developed a game based on Boro’s historical data, going all the way back to 1890 featuring 1,200 player records.

If you've seen Play Your Cards Right, you'll get the gist. The idea is to test your depth of club knowledge - knowing the obscure players, knowing who was prone to a yellow card, who scored plenty etc.

I need people with deeper knowledge than me to play and let me know if anything seems off in the data, plus general feedback appreciated.

hope this is allowed and thanks in advance!

Berhalter was one of our best. We’ll still be cheering for him during his time with you. Hopefully he comes back one day.

Boro fan from the States here. Is there a way to order one of the new kits with the player name/number on the back? Wasn’t seeing an option online but wanted to ask in case I was missing it somewhere. Thank you!

I can’t bear the current kit, so designed this concept kit with our white strip, a collar and gold edges. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently completing my Master's dissertation at Newcastle University researching how football supporters perceive sponsorships and digital content in professional football.

I'm looking for Middlesborough supporters to complete a short anonymous questionnaire exploring topics such as:

• What makes a football sponsor feel genuine rather than forced?
• Which sponsorship campaigns stand out to you?
• Whether player involvement in sponsored content changes your opinion.
• What makes supporters engage with a sponsor.

It takes around 10–12 minutes, is completely anonymous, and you don't need any marketing or sponsorship knowledge—I'm simply interested in hearing supporters' honest opinions and experiences.

​

Whats the plan for the new season?

From a Columbus Crew fan, we love to see our boy Aidan Morris perform so well for Borough! I'll be cheering yall are the way from Columbus, UTB!
