Blanco 4,900 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Big game today. Big win needed. Come on BORO 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,874 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 A draw today will be a huge pin in the balloon of optimistic shoots and hope. A defeat, shudder the thought, will just bring about a resurfacing of the "waste of a season" mindset for many. A win, albeit reasonably expected, will keep momentum going and despite the lowly nature of opponents over the last few games it just might carry the squad onwards and upwards. Belief is incredibly important in sport and the synergy it brings within a team collective can add up to more than the sum of it's parts. In fairness it is something that Warnock has been able to galvanise through his career. He may have arrived here with this squad by luck rather than by design due to injuries and forced shuffling but regardless there is a huge amount riding on today's game, a win could be worth far more than just three points. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,404 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I wouldn't be upset with a draw, personally, it wouldn't pop my balloon. I think this is a game we should be looking to win though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he might get the Barca job. regarding Leadbitter he has previously said he would like to work with academy players. I'd imagine its a bit early in his coaching career for Grant to be taking the top job. I'd like to think he'd do a good job at the academy though. I'm hoping Warnock's replacement will be a complete surprise / unknown. Like Redcar Rioja said, someone from overseas, who has been quietly doing a good job with a team we've never heard of. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Deeney's has scored 6 goals against us including 4 in the last 4 championship games he played against us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,818 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well, my world famous waterproof trousers are back out for this one. The weather always seems to be crap when we play Birmingham at home. I remember 3 or 4 seasons ago it was freezing and bucketing down when we played them. It was so cold, you just stayed wet through the whole game. Then we got beat to top it off. Hopefully the game goes a bit better today. 3-1 Boro. Friend to score their consolation goal. Sporar to get a hat trick for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,069 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 A draw would not be a disaster but im going for 1-0 to the Boro, Uche is due a goal. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Just got an email saying the rail crossing next to the Navi is closed today for works, for anyone who regularly uses that like myself. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Over the last few games we have learnt to play more with the ball on the ground so I am not so happy with the weather. Now I appreciate our ground is superior to the pitch’s I played on but we all know how fast a new ball skips off a wet surface, so I hope we use it to good use splitting the backline and getting the ball to come off the grass in front of the keeper. I expect a early goal, a tough game and I expect a win. Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,886 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 If we have Uche, Sprorar, Jones, Payero and Tav starting that's a lot to contain if you're the opposition. That said, I'm going 2 nil Birmingham. I remember being at a match years back where they had Forssell playing. Finished 5 4 or something. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I was meant to be going today but couldn't get my on call swapped at work and miss seeing gorgeous George one last time. Rumour has it Maik Taylor still has nightmares on the eve of these fixtures. I think anything less than a win will be a massive let down today. I'm going to optimistic and go for a 2-0 win Sporar and Tavernier the scorers. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,176 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well what a disaster today has turned out to be. Left with plenty of time eventaully hit the M1 and was stopped in my tracks by the "smart works" with serious tail backs. Sat nav offered alternative route to A1 so by then it seemed we had been on the road for ages and now had to travel east instead of North. En route to A1 we were advised of serious delays at Newark and Doncaster giving an eta to Boro as 1450hrs, baring in mind getting to the ground, parking up and getting tickets we would have lost about 15 mins of the game and that was without further issues. We decided to cut our losses and return home just past Peterborough. So annoyed never happened before and hope not a sign of further strife the rest of the day. Had a call from Boro Unger who was waiting for us to arrive and said my sorry's. Managed to get 4 tickets to the WBA game though 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
