I doubt its mind games.

We go "full tilt" in training so Pat is very likely injured and that is also why Jairo is still unavailable.
Could be mind games. Wilder is renowned for it. Normally though it's the other way round. He will say a player is in contention when there's no chance he will recover in time.

Well let's hope it is because without Bamford we are significantly weaker up front. Either the Phillips money or the Rothwell money would have been better spent on a back up for Bamford. We've got numerous CMs and one proper CF
 
Might be mind games by CW for Boro.

If not , the way Ogbene chested the ball and calmly finished puts him ahead of Cannon as a striker , for me.

I could never see Cannon doing what Brooks or Ogbene did to score tonight
Keen Blade I've said it before and again last night Ogbene is a half decent striker, when he was at Rotherham he was brought in as a frontman(if think) so not sure when he was moved to right side of midfield.
One thing's for sure I'd rather him being thrown up top with cannon instead of Ings( who has imo had his better days).
 
Bamford definitely back for Boro game. Would not put it past Wilder to blag the press over it.
Same.

We don’t know the extent of McCallum’s absence yet within the day Wilder is already reeling off 2-3 week absence stats.

I think he was 50-50 and given the opposition, Wilder decided not to take the risk and make sure he’s 100% for Boro.

I’m still scarred by Hecky having McBurnie at the Press Conference before we played Cardiff City, when he didn’t even make the bench and by all accounts was hobbling once the cameras were off!

Transfermarkt suggests he's played there 20 times, scoring 6. Worth a try

Why not try him up front against a team like Oxford, 2nd from bottom would have been ideal to play him in a front 2 with Cannon, but no, manager goes with a single striker and he's on the bench, Cannon looked better when he had someone alongside him imo, what do they do in training, do they try something different or what

He was definitely played as a striker at Rotherham, although lost a bit of pace after his injury. He showed great composure the other night to tuck that one away and if offered the space that he got, looking at his Rotherham goals there would be others he could add. Ironically he set-up the winner against Oxford away, shame we can't play them every week.

RS were saying McCallum is out 6-8 weeks at least with a broken ankle so I think we can write off his season to be honest which is a massive loss.
Why their player was not given a red for this no idea. Even if you think its not a red it deserved a yellow for playing the part in causing the injury.
