Tbh I'd sooner see him than most of our pudding strikers. I think your wish will be granted tonight. Crookes is suspended and Tav's ankle is a bit iffy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) For what its worth, here's the mandatory stat dump. Overall: W22 D13 L33 Home: W15 D8 L12 Away: W7 D5 L21 Cardiff haven't done too badly on their last 10 trips to the Riverside, going back to 9th March 2008. Boro's record against them reads W4 D1 L5. Current form this season suggests it should be a straightforward win for the hosts...but this season has been anything but straightforward. A lot will depend on whether Boro continue to suffer their recent homeground hangover, or whether they sober up and start playing like they did a few months ago. Boro (Home): W11 D1 L6 Cardiff (Away): W6 D3 L10 Don't ask me why, but in the face of all evidence to the contrary I'm feeling fairly optimistic about this one. My prediction: Middlesbrough 2 - 0 Cardiff. Edited April 27, 2022 by AnglianRed 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think there’s only Howson really playing for their future (and he is playing like someone who already knows). The loans will disappear back to their parent clubs. A couple of guys will get released by mutual consent and JLS will rock up with a new well paid contract. Link to post Share on other sites

SimonD 769 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 4-1 tonight. Payero hattrick Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I want to see Balogun and Coburn start tonight, I think Payero could link up well with both of them (if Tav is at all fit though I think he'll start with McGree and Tav with Payero on the bench.) Dael Fry being back is massive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,056 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 A win is due and we need it badly ... A draw "could" be enough, if we win the last two games, as I have a feeling SU only get 3 points max for their 2 reamaining games. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,917 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 This is definitely a must win for me. It has to be done 2-0 Howson and Connolly with the goals. UTB Link to post Share on other sites
Stitchy 139 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 When did we last score from a direct shot from a free kick. McNair had one disallowed Hull away but can't remember another. Therefore first goal will be from a set piece of some description. Link to post Share on other sites
