Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Yeah no way does Balogun not start, unless he's tired from carrying the England U21s Plus, there's the loan contract clause 😜 Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Tav has been immense of late, no way should he be moved to lwb - would be happy to see Mcgree there though and they can interchange when needed. Looking for a safe 3-1 win for us but it is good that we respect them as they will be well up for this after their QPR win. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 With the lads that are playing for u23 tonigjt and the confirmation on Fry Paddy and McGree being fit, I imagine this will be the team tomorrow: Lumley Dijk Fry Paddy Jones Crooks Howson Tav Taylor Connolly Flo Subs: Daniels Bamba Bola McGree Watmore Coburn Sporar Peltier will travel as 19th man I would imagine.

boro-unger 3,811 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It's finally game day. Feels like forever since the last league game! Now for a packed April with plenty of home games that will hopefully end with us comfortably in the play offs! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Yes game day and Teddy is looking forward to going to the game with his Dad and his Grandad! For me looking forward to the game and finally meeting up with @Brunners. I will be giving him a "Will Smith" on behalf of all the forum members he has upset don't worry😁 3 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Buzzing to get back to the proper football now! Man, this international break has dragged. Come on boro, every win is absolutely HUGE now Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I'd say it's vital we win today, could potentially put us in the top 6 which is nice, but also gives us a bit of leeway with 3 of our next 4 games being against teams in the top 6. They are the worst team in the league, with fewest wins at home, the worst defence and second worst attack, we need to be beating them if we have any ambitions of the play-offs.

marvin 290 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Got a feeling we’ll see Balogun and Coburn starting up front. I’d love to see it happen! Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It'll be balogun and Connolly after they both scored in the last league game, but I can see coburn being the first sub on if we need a goal. It'll be watmore if we're ahead 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Put simply this is a massive game for our Boro. Win and we control our destiny lose then we rely on other results. Positive result will ensure the home support for the Fulham game will be electric Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Bit of a weird one this. Although Boro enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 home win this season and thrashed Posh 5-0 in an FA Cup tie back in 2019, you have to go back 6 years to find our next fixture after that. Seems these two sides have met very rarely over the years, with just 20 fixtures in all competitions since 1967. Although Posh finally ditched the disastrous Darren Ferguson last month and installed the highly capable Grant McCann, they have played a fair number of games, with mixed results. I don't think Boro will have to worry about dealing with the "new manager bounce". Head to head stats look like this: Overall: W10 D8 L2 Home: W7 D4 L0 Away: W3 D4 L2 Not much history to draw on, but it seems London Road (now apparently called the Weston Homes Stadium) isn't the best hunting ground for Boro. On a more positive note, Posh's home form is on a par with our away form, so provided our lads are fit and firing on all (or even just most) cylinders, this is still a great opportunity for 3 points. Peterborough (Home): W3 D5 L7 Boro (Away): W5 D4 L8 My Prediction: Peterborough 1 - 2 Middlesbrough 1 Link to post Share on other sites
