Introduction
After a depressingly short break, welcome back to another Boro-unger Match day thread. Written with all the enthusiasm of a cold, drizzly Thursday. This weekend a team called Watford are coming to play. The two teams are 20th and 21st in the form table over the last 6 games and will meet in a game that pundits are calling “The clash of the teams in 20th and 21st place in the form table over the last 6 games.”
The Last Games
Boro: Shef Utd 1 – 3 Sheffield Utd
Boro went into half time surprisingly level after Sheffield got shirty and a cool Burgzorg Penalty was dispatched. Sheffield United’s quality and nigh-on premier league squad really showed throughout the game however, and they won comfortably in the end, with goals in the second half from Diaz and someone else who’s name I can’t be bothered to type out. Wilder will have been gurning into his post-match pasty like an absolute wrong-un.
Watford: Watford 0 – 4 Leeds
Watford were on the end of a drubbing from champions-elect Leeds United. Dan James got a brace, followed by a goal each from Soloman and Piroe. Watford have now only won 1 game in their last 10 outings and the pressure will surely be mounting on Tom Cleverley.

Nothing on there yet
The Un(ger)-Official Match Preview
Watford lie in 12th place and their fan’s will be even more disappointed with how their season is going than Boro fans are. Boro obviously need to get back to winning ways, and Watford are as good a team as any to face when you need a result (as well as Middlesbrough of course). I’ll predict a hard slog of a 1-0 win, with Conway finding the net.
Talking Points
- Will Nacho and Junior start, or will Conway and Whittaker take their places?
- If you could swap one of our current players for a player from Karanka’s promotion squad, who would it be?
- Who will get sacked first, Tom Cleverley or Michael Carrick?
Maybe, but JakSak actually did score... because Giles fumbled the ball towards his own goal. He needed to put pressure on, sure, but don't tackle towards your own net.
