nunthorpered 1,922 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Cardiff will give us a good hiding. Come on Boro! Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 1,000 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Howay lads it's typical Boro, lose to the team that's lost 7 in a row and batter the team that's won 6 in a row. Easy 3-0 win, Bettinelli MOTM, Assombalonga hattrick. Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Fearful of this one. I think we might could easily loose this by 3 or 4 goals. Moore will have a field day Link to post Share on other sites

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.. I have the same Problem here in Plymouth, They take great pleasure in rubbing it in when we mess up which is often Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,496 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Fully expect a back 3 of Fry Hall and Paddy for this game to combat the arial threat Cardiff will pose. If Fletcher not fit I also would not be surprised to see Mendez Laing up front to offer us some physical presence that Britt or Akpom cannot offer in Fletchers absence.

Changing Times 12,347 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Mendez-Laing up front? He shouldn't even be in the side. Neither should Jonny Teflon of course but no doubt he will be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 We're great at reversing team's fortunes. Usually for the better, but they can't get much better for Cardiff at the minute. I think we'll win. 2-1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Watmore up front for me with Johnson and Kebano out wide. No doubt we will see Britt huffing and puffing until he is taken off for Akpom to replicate the exact same neutered performance. What I would give to see a mean, hungry, angry Striker with a point to prove. Oh well, keep smiling. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I honestly wouldn't mind trying NML up front, makes very little difference to me. It really can't be worse than having Britt or Akpom up front right now, individually there's not a lot going on without someone actually winning the ball in the air, Akpom and Britt have shown they can't do it. Christ, we'd be better off putting Grant Hall up front in this system than any of those 3. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well we need to win to close the gap on Cardiff, so I think we'll probably come out half soaked 1st half, go 2 down before the penny drops and we end up chasing the game, so nope don't fancy us at all, our home form of late is absolutely shocking, so repeat of Tuesday 3-1 defeat.

TheJew 2,938 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 5 defeats in 6 at home. Think about it. 5 defeats in 6 at home. Absolutely shambolic in any standard in any league. Gonna keep this one short. We are going to get beat. Probably easily. Defeat, is of course, inevitable. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Our home form has totally collapsed, maybe it’s because we are more vulnerable to counter attacking football at home. Link to post Share on other sites
