boro-unger 3,870 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Feeling quietly confident about this game and glad to have the football back. Good time to play Watford as I guess they'll grow into the season and be a much stronger force when we play them at home. I'd take a draw to get the season underway, but it wouldn't surprise me if we continue our excellent away form under warnock. 2-1 Boro. Early goal from Watford. First half equaliser from Saville, then a late winner from Tav. I'm guessing we won't get a stream of this one on the Boro website as it's on sky/technically a weekend away game?

Downsouth 6,326 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Game Day.................Come on Boro! Great thing about today is that the England V Australia one day International is being played so a lot of sport to take in before the game Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Strangely doesn't feel like a matchday. Off to Whitby for fish and chips and a few pints, then Central Park, then the pub for the match. It's not a game I have much expectation for, although I'd be ecstatic with a win.

Borodane 6,301 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Impossible to say what to expect, other than I'm certain it's not going to be pretty😉 Can't see us keeping a clean sheet but I also can't see us drawing a blank either. The first few games back in the league after promotion are often hard for the relegated team so hopefully we can take advantage of that and NW have the players fired up and ready. And with a new manager and someone who hasn't coached in England it's difficult to say how Watford will look. Warnock should have the upper hand here. Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,350 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Well I have put my £7.09 on Boro, i reckon by tonight that will have grown to £26.94 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 feel like we are in for a hiding, so anything better than that will be positive. Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 613 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) This is the first time in afew seasons (since Pulis) that I'm really looking forward to watching the Boro, we may not play total football with Warnock but for me he's starting to bring a feel good factor back to the club! Reckon we could nick this 1-0 UTB Link to post Share on other sites

That's because it isn't. Saturday is and always will be "match day" Any other day that football is on is just the day of the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) The promotion push starts tonight 😁. However these along with Norwich are currently the best sides in the division. Especially with us really only having a starting 11 no bench. We will do proper well to get a draw that's hopefully entertaining so 1-1 or 2-2. Then hopefully we get some more signings in and we can build towards glory this season 🤩 (love start of season optimism) Link to post Share on other sites

Foogle 2,104 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Saw this as Watford's predicted lineup: --------------------Foster; ----Dawson---Kabasele----Wilmot; Ngakia---Chalobah--Cleverley---Estupinan; -------------Bashiru--------Quina; ---------------------Murray We're definitely playing them at the right time if this is the case, I don't really see many players there to be fearful of... not saying we're favourites or anything but think we could give them a good go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,076 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 At least we wont be bottom if we lose with Sheffield Wednsdays point deduction! My prediction 1-1 with Savilles scuffed shot in off the post after 2 deflections on the way,has to happen at some stage Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 We were really solid away from home after Warnock took over, however it looks like our defence needs a bit more time together if Shrewsbury was anything to go by. That said Mcnair and Saville might stiffen up the midfield a bit to provide some protection, though I am not at all confident they will be able to. Hopeful rather than optimistic.
