SmogDane 4,138 8k Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 So happy that "normal" football is back again .. The International games don't get me going like they used to ... Denmark won their group, but oh my they haven't played well in many games .. At least they gave some confidence to McNair last time out .. And ... We seem to build momentum up to international breaks, but we suck when we return to league games .. Bristol is a bogey team for us, so I reckon we might squeeze in a draw at best .. But I would like to be proven wrong ofc. I think Ipswich will start to lose more and more points, so a purple patch for us, would make anything possible .. One can dream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard game to call for me seen more losses at AG than wins and I believe I was standing next to @Uwe where we saw a Boro win. Lovely ground very spacious and a good pitch just takes a really long ime o get out of Bristol after the game. Will take a draw at this time but seeing as how BC's injury list is as long a ours then I do predict a winner! UTB It’s a shame as I bought tickets to this one but now have to work. So my boy is taking his girlfriend now. Hopefully we can convert her to a Boro fan 🤙 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy legend 1,259 1.4k Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 1. Reading, listening to music and a trip to the pub see why 2. You have to keep the same back four, I think. 3. Unchanged, its difficult to see why we change the team after last game. 4. 1 all, Crooks. 5. Football wise, got to be Archie (he signed from Bristol Rovers - I know he's not really from there). Musically, probably The Brilliant Corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnglianRed 7,882 18.1k Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Questions: 1. How did you cope without club football during the international break? Cricket, F1 and Witcher III: The Wild Hunt. 2. Now that Lenihan is out for the season, what should be our starting back 4 going forward? See answer to Question 3. 3. Starting 11? 4. Score prediction and goalscorers? This has 1-1 written all over it. Reckon it'll be up to Samwise Gamwood to grab a point for us again after we go behind. Either a screamer of a freekick, or bundled in from a few yards, following a goalmouth scramble. 5. Favourite thing to come from Bristol? The Bristol Blenheim medium bomber.

boro-unger 4,679 17.9k Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Tough game away at Brizzle. But I can see us getting a least a point. It's nice to be back to the nitty gritty anyway. Hopefully it's a bit warmer down there than the North East. It's around 0degC all day here. 1. How did you cope without club football during the international break? I coped well, thanks for asking 2. Now that Lenihan is out for the season, what should be our starting back 4 going forward? Probably VDB, Fry, Mcnair, Engel. Although I wouldn't mind seeing dyk in the rb spot. 3. Starting 11? same as the Leicester game. 4. Score prediction and goalscorers? 2-2. Engel and Jones to score 5. Favourite thing to come from Bristol? I guess if I have to pick something original, the Bristol pound. A local currency meant to encourage people to spend money in local businesses.
