Need a lie down after that second half!

Absolutely loved to see the impact of early substitutes to change the momentum of the game today. So refreshing to see after last season.

Feel like Strelec could be a cult hero in the making.

Well-earned point on the road 👏🏻 #UTB #boro

Handsome Rob’s Invincibles 👏🏻

Keep calm and Chloe Kelly #lionesses #england

Very sad to see the end of the Jonny Howson club captaincy era. Mr Reliable- The ultimate professional. Sorry we never achieved promotion with him at the club- watching him lift a playoff trophy for us at Wembley would have been so apt #UTB #boro

Been a long time coming for this Edwards announcement.

In my head- the delay was the pure confusion when the contract said Leo has the undisputed right to attend any team meeting he deems suitable and pump his chest for 10 minutes without interruption #UTB #boro

Yes lots of square pegs in round holes. Feel like Carrick had an ideology which just didn’t work with the resources he had at Boro the last 2 seasons

Seeing comments about selling our best players making success impossible.

Sunderland sold Clarke/Stewart, Coventry sold Gykores/Hamer, Bristol sold Conway (to us!)…

Losing players to big money is inevitable. We need a management and recruitment team who can deliver in that reality #UTB #boro

A sad day- Carrick is an honest, likeable guy. Some great memories from his tenure- that first season where we were banging in goals for fun had me looking forward to watching Boro in a way I haven’t for years.

I think the right decision at this point in time- but all the best gaffer 👏🏻 #UTB #boro

It’s an interesting point. I always feel like in modern football it’s a bit idealistic to think you can have a successful team built around young, academy players… but in a lot of ways I think that’s been the key to Sunderland’s tenacious spirit the last couple of years.

The most depressing thing about Sunderland yesterday… Regis Le Bris has got them promoted after one year in charge, with no significant investment. Whereas we’re three years into a managerial process- and it feels like we’re just getting further away from it being our turn to celebrate #UTB #boro

I’ve been a ST holder at Boro all my life- but shy away from conversations with groups of lads about football. It’s hard putting across an opinion as a woman in such a male dominated space, even in 2025. Your analysis shows passion and knowledge of the game. Don’t let the boneheads get you down ✊

Last weekend at the Riverside- agreed with the fans around us there was no hope for this team and we’ll see them in August.

But… still have a weird anticipation for the game today. Even though we’re not good enough, that doesn’t seem to matter this season!

Now where’s my Boro bucket hat #UTB

I’ll settle for two 😆 The narrowness of our attacking play has become such a bug bear for me

You’re probably right. I feel like i still love the idea of what Michael Carrick success would look like (the silky football, goals on tap, his calm persona). But he has had a long time and just can’t seem to make it work with the resources we have.

I’ve no belief we can get a win at Coventry, given we’ve just been unable to beat 2 bang average teams with nothing to play for.

Our season died in the January window, with the Doak injury being the nail in the coffin.

First thing on my summer wish list is a pacey, out and out winger #UTB #boro

Spat my tea out laughing when the commentator said Michael Carrick may be thinking about a change in strategy #UTB #boro

The overall performance I thought was reasonable from us tonight… against a Leeds side who have top quality players who would walk into our team.

Let’s take that fighting spirit into the next 5 games and see where it takes us #UTB #Boro

The wider media keep making comments saying it’s finally clicking for Boro. I want to be optimistic and feel like it is… but I’m not convinced.

But it is April, and I’m still keeping that May bank holiday weekend free for just in case… so maybe I’m not that unconvinced either #UTB #Boro

So glad we can still bask in the glory of our clean sheet against Luton to get us through this difficult time… #UTB #boro

Celebrate all your little victories like Neto Borges celebrates a Boro throw-in/goal-kick #UTB #boro

I find it absolutely mental that given our form since Christmas- we’re still 2 points of the playoffs 🤯 safe to say outside of the top 4 we’re not the only team with consistency issues.

Important win on home turf today, much needed #UTB

Totally. Like look at all the stick Conway got last night.. we’ve got players that other clubs in the division were devastated to lose 🤷🏻‍♀️

Knowing how good some of the players in our squad can be… just adds to the total misery of our current form.

Rav VDB, Hackney, Azaz (Championship POTM just 4 months ago!), even Giles… the list goes on.

Least Boro can’t ruin my Saturday now 🙄 #UTB

The irony of my ST renewal email going in my junk folder 🥲 I like the marketing though… deep in my heart I do still believe (I think) #UTB

Today’s starting 11 and general performance showed that the management is struggling to know how to turn around our form with the players now at their disposal, after a chaotic January transfer window that has weakened us.

Not starting Burgzorg was absolutely criminal for me

#UTB

The same mistakes time and time again.. with no sign of any learning.

Our saving grace for our defensive woes was our attacking threat. But with Lath gone and Doak out for weeks… that threat has substantially diminished.

Starting to get that feeling of dread for each game now.

#UTB

Infuriating

Charity FC strikes again. George Edmundson is a good championship defender, and I would back him to come out top in a scrap with a 6ft shithouse striker. What he is not is a modern centre half who is going to dictate the play and spray out passes to help us build from the back. #UTB

Step in Aidan Morris. With the additional plus point of giving Hackney the freedom to play to his strengths 👌 great result #UTB

Feels like if there’s a few more soulless performances and unpopular transfer moves- It could be a crowd toxicity that Carrick can’t recover from
