Now Howson is back I actually think it's the finishing that will do for us. Fletcher is better than the other 2 but won't score 15 goals between Feb and the end of the season. We will miss out due to lack of a clinical finisher. That has to be the priority in the summer. And probably replace Johnson with a better crosser. Or hope Coulson gets his mojo back.

Also, Wing anytime to score is a great bet.

I bet clubs are expecting a full lockdown in days which probably means suspension of football. No point in signing players if you don't know whether the season will even finish.

Well I've seen us lose loads of games against teams like this. We looked good going forward but a bit weak in the air at the back. Any away game with 3 goals and a win is a good performance. Brum at home - I wonder if Aitor will survive that long.

Good away performance that. And some decent individual performances. Nice break now to get some transfers sorted.

Boro should definitely use the Tees commentary. I hate listening to other BBC commentators. Ours are by far the best I've heard. Rest of them seem like they've drawn the short straw on a Saturday afternoon rather than having the best job going.

I did wonder about Warnock in his press conference. I wonder if something's happened or some falling out. Clutching at straws but that was a weird performance. And the ref does matter. Hi gives free kicks or doesn't and sets the tone and players feed of that. And he does hate us, it's obvious.

I know we've not helped but this Mackem ref does hate us. It's the same every time.

Anyone else watched Warnock's press conference yet? He seemed a lot less chipper than normal. Not cracking jokes and bantering as much as normal. I hope there isn't bad transfer news - outgoings especially - that would put him on a downer. He reckons the physical side is going to be key in this game. I'm guessing Akpom up front. Obviously Saville and Morsy in the middle. I wonder if Browne might come in as he isn't afraid to get stuck in. Bettinneli Dijksteel Fry McNair Bola Saville Morsy Tavernier Wing Browne Akpom

I doubt Leo is allowed to recommend players after De Pena - whilst noting I didn't think he was a bad player, just not given a chance and noone seemed to know why we bought him.

My Wing to score anytime was saved by his worldie. Should get given the first one as well. Really pleased for the lad. He does take a cracking corner and has the best shot at the club.

Why oh why cannot we try to pass the ball? I think it might be tiredness. If so need Roberts, Britt and Wing on. Probably Coulson as well.

I think with Roberts 2 things are at play. Watmore is a better player. Tavernier works harder. Shame but football isn't complicated.

Is Wood injured?

Really no idea what to predict. No way Roberts starts, I suspect he will be back at City in January. I'd like to see Watmore start. I'd also like Britt never to take a free kick when Wing is on the pitch. That was stupid on Saturday. Back 5 picks itself until Dijksteel is back. Morsy and Saville in front. Watmore Wing Tavernier Akpom up front for me.

Dear me what a numpty I am. I would leave Howson out of my 12.

For me tonight it might be Bettinneli Spence. Fry Wood Bola Morsy Howson Folarin. Tav. Watmore Akpom Britt

I get the impression the Gazette think there will be changes for this game. Definitely Morsy, Akpom and Watmore. Suspect Wood will be in too. I'd not be surprised if Spence plays right back with Folarin in front of him.

Warnock owns this. Should have hooked Britt earlier. Not bringing wingers on was an absolute open goal missed. Hudds were in shocking form. He needs to trust his players more. Really annoyed about this game. Not bringing Morsy on at some point to get a grip was just bonkers.

All down to Britt this. Shocking play from start to finish for him. Needed taking off before half time.

When's the press conference today? Is it not normally in the morning?

If Britt and Fletcher don't sign new contracts soon I would guess Warnock will move heaven and earth to get a new striker. I know they're not great but they're decent enough and to lose for nothing would be terrible.

Mel Morris knows very well Gibson will not give up. He will find a way of getting some pay back. It sounds like his threat of action is enough to out off buyers. That may in turn send them down. If he wants to carry on going for them let them keep having to push back. Gibson generally wins. On the game, surely we should win. I would go with Watmore and Roberts. Morsy still out I think.

A good challenge this. I really hope Paddy is 100% and Saville's family are all safe and well. Those 2 are huge for us. If we want to go for the win, we need to find a way of Roberts playing. Warnock has had 2 weeks to figure it out. In the training video he is different class to anyone at finishing. Early team guess: Bettinelli Dijksteel Fry Hall Bola Howson-Morsy-Saville Roberts Akpom Coulson If McNair is fit I think he will come in for Coulson and we will go 5 at the back. I think Hall plays if fit for his heading ability. I suspect he wasn'
