Loan system works for strikers since they are judged for 'goals' scored or probably 'assists'. Keepers are also easy to be judged for clean sheets, saves, and number of mistakes made.

Midfielders IMO is the hardest to judge a player's potential or ability.

ANYWAY, football is a team game. If boro sucks, Bamford will never have the opportunity to shine himself.

Bro playing Millwall today and apparently he's had a virus and is touch and go for the game. Be a shame as he's been playing well of late.

He plays. He scores :getin: Scoring for fun now. Would be great if he can get promoted with them. Middlesbrough starting to look the part now.

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

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 :P
