Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Playoff charge was supposed to happen against Derby, and we were shocking. It won't start tonight either. 2-0 defeat and we slump further towards mid-table mediocrity (at least it's an improvement on last season.) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Mid table might be the pinnacle of our achievements if Warnock keeps playing Hoofball. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just can't see us winning tonight. We're dire and even though Huddersfield aren't much better it'll likely be a case of two bad teams even each other out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bettinelli actually made a couple of vital saves in the first half. Hall defended embarrassingly to allow Aarons to equalise at the cusp of half time. Boro got a soft penalty from a corner, easily saved as McNair telegraphed it all the way. Then Boro got another penalty, this time for handball, McNair's shot is easily saved again. Boro got a third penalty in the 84th minute, for handball by Jonathan Hogg, Assombalonga slotted away comfortably as McNair sulked in the corner. 2-1 Grant Hall gave away a penalty for a bad tackle in the 87th minute, but Bettinelli dived fantastically to save it and keep Boro in front. Ended 2-1 Middlesbrough. Now this totally accurate simulation means we're going to win Obviously 2 of the Boro penalties were only missed because I'm *** at FIFA 21 penalties, and Hall only defended badly because of me, but it just seemed so realistic. Cant you play beginner next time so we can expect 19-0? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm fairly sure we'll win this one. Derby are a poor team but we're in a decent run of form. Huddersfield are a poor team and are in a hopeless run of form. Think we'll have just about enough. Link to post Share on other sites

They are probably thinking the same as our form is hopeless too. 4pts this year for us and 2pts for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Got to remain optimistic. Boros the only real thing I look forward too these days. Hopefully we can get a nice win tonight and start another run. Most of the teams round us are messing up just as much as we are challenging for that 6th spot. A win tonight and we could only be 3 points off 6th. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroAbroad 321 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Need to win. Then we will be only 7 points from safety. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I think this will be a dire game of football, our home form of late is crap (maybe its the pressure and expectation put on by the home crowd) and Huddersfield are poor so I'll go for a 1-1 draw, and a can I have my tenner back please for lack of entertainment.

Have a feeling tonight's game will be like 2 blindfolded, drunk guys trying to have a boxing match. 🙃 1 Link to post Share on other sites
