ManBearPig 1,833 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 There’s a lot to be concerned about for this game such as, will Bamba be able to play games that quickly back to back? Our strikers need to have clear cut chances, not aimless balls into the box or a hopeful corner either. Against Hull Connolly had one chance and scored (just offside) and that was the only clear cut one we got. I think Hudders will come here and play for a draw which we struggle to break down. We need a win and will get done on the counter. All that possession and we do nothing with it. Daniels Dijk Bamba McNair Jones McGree Howson Tav Bola Flo Sporar Crooks loves Prawn Cocktail, pass it on. Link to post Share on other sites

The other option is to go with a back four but Wilder is wedded to his back three system and I doubt he would make such a massive structural change to his defence in fear of the confusion and disarray it could cause especially against one of the Championship's better sides. We will, ageing, aching limbs permitting, likely see Bamba alongside Dijksteel and McNair. McGree will likely take over from Crooks with Boyd Munce stepping up to the bench. I will be surprised if we don't see Connolly starting because I get the impression that it's now become a bit of a prickly issue with Wilder as there doesn't appear to be a rational justification for it. There again Lumley eventually succumbed to the inevitable but it took repeated inexcusable failings for the axe to eventually fall. Perhaps we need Connolly to score an own goal then😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We are due a win been a while since we last gor a home win. Big crowd coming to The Riverside for this game of that I am certain plenty of forum members in attendance including CT with his large finger pointing foam Boro hands! It is one of those games that really matters to the fans let's hope it really matters to the team and that they do stand up to be counted........................hmm seems familiar I wonder? Not sure what to make of it we bloody well need to score though! Wakawakawoo a whimpy Boro will not do! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

At least Clean sheet will be well rested after the Bournemouth game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I think we set up for a draw last game with us saving players for this game in balogun and Sporar. So hope it pays off as we do have to win all our home games to have a chance at the top 6 Link to post Share on other sites

There is of course a very simple solution and that is for Connolly to start scoring goals and to shut his detractors up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He was calling him it literally seconds after he scored against Birmingham, so that wouldn't do it either. That was before the replays showing it might have been an own goal too.

You might be right mate I think he's equally wedded to a right footed midfield on the right, left on left though so could see Fry playing the LCB role with Bamba central Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,920 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Surely can't be 4th straight game without scoring. Absolute mega this game Link to post Share on other sites
