Foogle 2,104 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It's gotta be Saturday somewhere right?... I mean it's still 1982 in Stoke 👀 This is what happens when I'm forced to take all of my holidays before the end of the year... 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Well after a very good 3rd day at the test I eagerly switched on the commentary to listen to the 4th day of the test match between Australia and England hoping that England would carry on building on a good fight back..................boy was I wrong and only heard the winning run being scored by Australia makng yesterday count for nothing! Which brings me on to todays game. the least anticipated game of the season so far seemingly judging by the lack of posts and one that is damaging the healthy post average the forum has achieved. Massive game what a place to go and to try and continue winning ways no easy task as Stoke are one of those teams in and around us we need to beat to take our momentum forward and yes to extend authorship by DZ. Should be a good game but we need to expect that Stoke will play in a similar manner as Swansea did and will strive to get the first goal, be a real test for Boro as a defensive unit but at the same time a game where any chance we have to score needs to be taken, hopefully an improvement to what we last witnessed Probably will accept an away point but how good it would be to take 3 points!

That's what happens when fans see organisation and structure along with performances which are entertaining after years of wandering aimlessly in a footballing desert. Happy customers tend to be quiet, reserved and content whereas disgruntled ones chunter on incessantly, we only have ourselves to blame for the drop in posts. Hate to think what will happen in January if we jettison the underperformers and bring in some signings that actually add value and with it another step up in results. Maybe Tav or Howson can put in a stinker and get the post count racked up or failing that the Ref forgets that Warnock is no longer with us and provides a perplexing display. Other than that the post count will continue to be doomed I'm afraid. Clearly wandering in a "Wilderness" is more preferable to Hoofball or Pulisball. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Today is a massive test of our much improved performances. Come away from Stoke with a win would certainly underpin that improvement. Picking the right starting line up will be key and slightly more difficult if Payero and Fry are fit.

Robin Johnson 616 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Feel more confident going into this game with Wilder in charge. We are on an upward curve under him with players allowed to express themselves and play football. Stoke are ok but certainly not world beaters! We should go into the game with a degree of confidence.If we don’t run out of steam a point at least should be within our capability. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We are undoubtedly performing better under Wilder and can look great for 45 minutes, but we do tend to come unstuck a bit in the 2nd half. Stoke are one of those teams that tends to fly under everyone's radar because they have no stand-out players and tend to grind results, rather than decimate tams with flashy performances. But they are where they are in the table for a reason. Historically we have a bad record at their place W11 D11 L28 and they've only lost twice at home this season, so I think we'll do well to come away with a point. Won't be too disappointed with a defeat as long as we put in a decent performance. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Payero is the only doubt for this game after going off with a knock against Huddersfield "B" midweek. I expect Fry to start this one. Not expecting a win, it'd be a good result to get a draw here tbh. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
