Forever Blues

The winning run comes to an end. Mox and Tatts are back to analyse the 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough, a "disappointing" result going into the international break .

The lads discuss the key talking points from the Riverside, including the "soft" goals , the worrying trend of conceding first away from home , and the bizarre "Rob Edwards" narrative that Moxley believes "absolutely had an effect on the game" .

The biggest news, however, is the "big blow" for Paik Seung-ho . The midfielder dislocated his shoulder in the first minute and will be a "real miss" after finding his best form.

It is not all bad news. The hosts assess the "season so far", agreeing the picture is much "clearer" than at the last break , praise Tomoki Iwata as an "absolute warrior" , and look ahead to the January window. Plus, they discuss the confirmation of Knighthead's 100% ownership and the upcoming stadium reveal on November 20th .

In Episode 19 of Forever Blues, Mox and Tatts dive into another frustrating away day for Birmingham City, prompting a deep-dive discussion.
