BearSmog 1,382 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Introduction I don't know where to start with this thread, our season appears to be in a state of flux and Boro fans are struggling to know how to feel We could probably do with a nice easy game next where we can get a win, who is it? In form Cardiff? Great.. The match sees two of the leagues spritliest young managers come head to head in what is sure to be a mouthwatering battle of wits.. We can rest assured that we have one of the best goalkeepers in the league between the sticks in Bettinelli Footage emerges of Boro defenders reaction to an approaching Bristol City attack from last night Big questions With Fletch injured can Britt and Akpom find their goalscoring boots? Will we be able to coungure up some sort of miracle and get Tav and Bolasie back playing to support our ailing attack Or will it just fall on the shoulders of Duncan Watmore to save our season? I need a win in this one as I live in Cardiff and have married into a City supporting family.. Will I have bragging rights after this one? Bear out.. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I expect a Boro win because we can't take out the garbage but we can give the best sides a run for their money. On Saturday night we will all be on here moaning after we win about where we could have been if only we had beaten Bristol. There is a mental fragility with this side that for some reason motivates them for the better sides but can't be Ar$ed for the poorer opponents. There are too many passengers in the squad who are either not good or bothered enough to start or worse still not bothered or good enough yet do start. No doubt they will all turn in a 7/10 performance on Saturday against the Bluebirds then revert to crap for Coventry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We'll win. Akpom will score a brace and then Assombalonga will replace him and do the same #keepthefaith Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We are playing at The Riverside though I understand why you put Cardiff first in the thread title, we seem to be a bit better away from home! Made the correction for you Link to post Share on other sites

Made the correction for you I thought that Bear Smog was deliberately trying to use psychological trickery and tomfoolery to trick the players into thinking they were playing away from home seeing as their home record this year is dogs#it. Just needed Warnock to instruct the Coach Driver to drive them around the A1 and A19 for five hours then stay at the Longlands Hotel Friday night and tell all the Staff there is a £50 tip in it for them if they speak in a Welsh accent. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 With Cardiff winning and Reading losing we are very much still in playoff hunt. This game is however D-day must win game if we are to get in the playoffs lose this the dream is over. We have got to be starting Tav and Bolasie I think as this is a cup final game. If we win this the season can still come good. Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Everything points to a win for Cardiff so maybe our turn to upset the applecart for a change 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KeithLambsFaxMachine 727 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Fun fact: Warnock has managed more games against Mick McCarthy than against any other manager. Out of 18 games so far, Warnock has won 9 and drawn 2. Head says Cardiff win, but given the performances we *are* capable of, who knows? Depends which Boro turns up. Link to post Share on other sites
