boro-unger 3,811 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Details Teams – Hull v Middlesbrough Location – The Kacey Stadium Competition – The Sky Bet Championship Date – Saturday, 7th November 2015 Time – 15:00 Introduction After a damp squib of a game, in which Boro were put through the mill by a stodgy Rotherham team, Boro take the short trip down to the City of Culture 2017, Hull. The Last Games Boro: Middlesbrough 1 - 0 Rotherham Boro never really got out of first gear in beating The Millers. A dull performance saw the three points stop over at Middlesbrough, if only because they fell asleep with the rest of us in the stands and missed the bus down to South Yorkshire... Hull: Brentford 0 - 2 Hull The orange and black Tigers beat the red and white Bees in a game of football, and also in a game of knowing what colour animals are... Brentford started well and had the better of the early chances. They didn't convert them however and Hull's Robertson and Clucas knocked two second half goals past helpless Brentford goalkeeper Button, who must have been dearly wishing that his 't's could have been 'f's. Upon conceding the second goal, one indignant Brentford fan was heard to shout: "Boo Bees!" Graph showing the excitement levels leading up to the Hull v Boro game Injury/Availability News Boro: :) - The Middlesbrough players are going hull for leather in training in an attempt to remain fit for the game Hull: :cool: - Have no injuries. In fact, Theyyyyyy're great! Form (League only - most recent last) Boro: LDLWWW Hull: WDWWWW The Un(ger)-Official Match Preview We all know that Boro can turn up the heat for games like this. The only question is: Will they????? The answer is yes. Yes they will. 2-1 Boro, Leadbitter and Nugent to score. Just remember one thing gentlemen; Hull is for Heroes! The View From The Other Side From: nowhere - "We don't seem to have an opinion on this match, we must be too interested in second rate sports like rugby or something" The Boro-unger multi copyright-infringing Motivational Hull based misquotes of the week! - "If you're going through Hull, Keep going..." - Winston Churchill - "Hull is empty and all the devils are here" - William Shakespeare - "It's easy to go down to Hull; night and day, the gates of dark death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task" - Virgil - "Don't bring me dooooown; Bruuuuce" - The Electric Light Orchestra - "Why does it smell like Soy Sauce?" - Everyone who's been to Hull - "Do you know who I am?!" - Ronnie Pickering Link to post Share on other sites

Silvio_Dante 29 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nice opening post Unger! I hope this isn't a game too far for some inevitable tired legs out there. However if we are all fit and up for it I think we can beat Hull but wouldn't be disappointed with a draw. Dimi, Kalas, Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Leadbitter, Clayton, Downing, Adomah, Fabbrini, Nugent. 1-0 Nugent 24min. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We've been able to rest most of the players over the course of the last few games so hopefully tiredness won't be too much of a factor. Hull have named an unchanged side for the last two games to they haven't had the benefit of that. Hull have the best defensive record in the league right now, it would be nice to change that on Saturday and put ourselves back in that position. I believe that this is a really stern test and it will be interesting to see how we go about our attacking play. Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I was reading the Hull forum the other night.. They seem like a decent bunch of fans, I don't get the impression they think they are too good for the league like the Derby fans do.. Reading some of the posts, Hull seem a lot like us, Excellent defence & have the talent to score goals but don't always finish teams off which frustrates fans. I think the likely score/s will be 0-0 or 1-0 either way. Link to post Share on other sites

I think we'll see that line up but Nsue over Kalas hopefully...Nsue has been a revelation this season...poor man's Dani Alves :P Link to post Share on other sites

I think he will choose Kalas over Nsue because he is better defensively. Link to post Share on other sites

Been as bad it not worse with unrealistic expectations. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 :rolleyes: Here we go again. Actually not talking about you so you can calm yourself! I agree with your assessments more often than not. I'm taking about the people who predict 5-0 wins in Every game and think we're gonna steamrroll every team and get annoyed when we don't. You definitely don't fit into that category! But there are a few who shall go unnamed, and they are coming across every bit as arrogant as those derby fans everyone made fun of last year.

PompeySmog 109 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 A draw you say, yes please would take a drab 0-0 now (mainly as i cant get there and i'll be being dragged round a Xmas Fair!!!!) This is a relly stern test against a real rival for one of those hallowed top 2 slots. I work with a Hull fan and every week he expects the wheels to fall off, his prediction was 2-1 Boro, i would tear your arm off for that!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smoggo Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Our away record has been awesome this season so far We have a habit of stepping up to the plate against the better teams where we,d of been happy with a point, Notts Forest, Sheff Wed It seems to bring the best out of the team as a whole Boro will nick this 1-0, with an early goal :heart: and soak up the pressure for 75 mins Adomah 15 mins Link to post Share on other sites
