Old Codger 3,039 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 as far as I know, it is still "under consideration".. which usually means nobody wants to invest the money required .. would certainly help even if only open on match days, but I fear it will go the way of the wind turbine and unless people start to kick up a fuss, the Transporter ..

diggerlad07 3,651 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Even if Bola and McNair fit tomorrow, I wouldn't change a winning team which has the potential to have some confidence and take the risk of aggravating their injuries further. Start them on the bench and if the game isn't going our way then change it. Strangely confident going into tomorrow even before the forest result and im going with a 2-0 win . I just think there's so much to lose with a negative result and performance tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm buzzing for tomorrow's game simply because I want to see Sporar live, he looked a class above vs Forest with his touch and movement haven't seen a striker like that at the Riverside since JFH. Reckon we could see a few goals I'm going 3-1 Boro, looking forward to seeing Siliki as well he's looked off the pace but I like the way he gets around if he can add some sharpness to his passing he could run games even from picking up second balls from our hoofs I think he could be effective.
