🎯 Middlesbrough's shot count in their last five games: 🆚 Charlton Athletic: 34 🆚 Bristol City: 19 🆚 Blackburn Rovers: 12 🆚 Millwall: 32 🆚 Swansea City: 29 Despite racking up 126 efforts, they've won just three points from the last 15 on offer! 😳🫣 #BORO

Growth in Home Attendances in the Championship Since The 2018/19 Season 📈








30 years ago, Terry Venables could leave out Ian Wright for Euro 96 because he had Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Les Ferdinand and Robbie Fowler at centre-forward. Elite options at No 9 now? Basically, Harry Kane. Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Danny Welbeck are below Kane’s level. Liam Delap needs to get the upward trajectory of his career back on track again. A “minor issue” benching/resting Kane will always be a major problem for England. FA coaches at St George’s Park debate why there are so few 9s emerging. Focus on 10s and wide attackers in academies, more teams playing only one centre-forward in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 and cage styles leading to “ballers” not poachers are all reasons discussed. Line-leading skills, back-to-goal expertise, finishing prowess need re-developing. Because Kane is 32 and succession planning is required. #ENG
