Patrick Bamford

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Another goal for Boro. But much more common than that, Omeruo got an assist for the first goal.

[Special Juan 28,100]

Starts today v Derby, game live on SKY at 12:15pm. Omeruo on the bench.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

He scores again. Huge game to score in.

[Stats 7,138]

That is 6 goals in 6 games for him

still so many empty seats for such a big game...

It's a very rough area and

I think a lot of these clubs have empty seats , like Blackburn and Birmingham

You have to realise, B, that in England, north of Nottingham, the major sport is rugby league. Manchester and Merseyside are the only real anomalies, even once-great northern clubs like Leeds United and Sheffield United come from areas where rugby and even cricket are arguably more popular due to the blue collar nature of the game. The north-east is another anomaly, but Newcastle United is such a massive club with a ridiculously large fan-base. Sunderland also has a large fan-base - meaning clubs like Middlesbrough are quite poorly represented in terms of a fan-base. The Riverside Stadium has always been too big for Boro, they only ever used to sell it out against Liverpool, United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Also you think that Boro were once a Premier League club - teams lose a lot of fairweather fans after a relegation.

still this game is live on my TV... the Championship is more traditional and interesting than many leagues in Europe.

But thanks for explaining me the background... it makes sense, although not much

[lucio 5,418]

Another good run and shot

[Special Juan 28,100]

Derby are struggling to string one basic pass together. Shite.

They miss Pat.

Soon Vs Chelsea.

[Barbara 15,149]

Bamfordinho makes it look so easy to finish.

He has that killer instinct that is so lethal for strikers. Can't wait for him to be here.

edit: just won a penalty... otherwise he'd get into the net with ball and everything

edit 2: what a shot by him now. Looked a lot like that Willian goal earlier this season (don't ask me against who)

edit 3: should have scored at least a brace here, but Grant became a world beater defending his amazing shots

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

If Boro come up and want him for another season in the Premiership do we oblige or do we bring him back as 3rd choice striker?

[bluesman2610 1,415]

Good game from Pat today first time really watching him play needs to work on hold up but off the ball runs are amazing
