It's been a busy few days on Teesside, with Boro discovering their 2026/27 Championship fixture scheduling and links emerging with Aston Villa's Lewis Dobbin.

Dobbin is indeed a player Boro are interested in this summer, and Dom is joined by Dana Malt, from the Boro Breakdown, to discuss why.

We run through some other transfer priorities and reflect on the fixture release.

Why Boro are targeting Aston Villa forward this summer

It's a trip to Ewood Park this weekend for Boro, who take on Blackburn Rovers in their first away game of the season.

Ahead of the game, we caught up with Elliott Jackson, who covers Rovers for the Lancashire Telegraph.

He gave us the expert insight on what to expect from Blackburn, Tony Mowbray's return and how he's likely to set up take on his former side.

He also discussed former Blackburn and now Boro defender Ash Phillips.
