Forss 😍

Hope ayling has a good game, seems he's already up against it to win over some of our fans and a mistake could see him crucified

Gazette seem to think 433 with azaz in an advanced central midfield position and Rogers as the central of the front 3

They had Engel starting at right back for the Villa game. 🤣

There will be a lot of floating going on I'm sure.

Hackney back in the cotton wool…

Did you really expect him to start after Chelsea when he's still not 100%?

Excited to see Azaz and Ayling today! And so good to see some options on the bench, albeit being strikerless. Looking forward to watching

Yea kinda, he looked pretty fit to me and we have no mid week game.

As expected really. Doesn’t make sense to risk Hackney after his injury. Great to see Forss on the bench , be interesting if we see him at any time.

Going to be a difficult game today though as Millwall in very good form. Take a draw now if one was offered.

Don't think he's up against it to win over Boro fans, he has been struggling with injury and some Leeds fans think his legs have gone so he comes with a degree of concern.

Stay fit, put in steady displays and he will be fine. If he limps off with a Knee injury and missing for months the Club will get it from the fans not the Player. If he gets repeatedly skinned and rinsed by tricky wingers then again the Club will get the blame for not doing their due diligence on him. Peltier and Bamba both got the benefit of the doubt when they came, Ayling will get the same.

Kick off delayed by 15 minutes. Boro and some Millwall players have only just arrived at the ground.

I've seen numerous posts on here and on twitter using the word "hate" when describing how they feel about ayling. That's totally different from peltier and bamba.

Ayling our 1009 player &  Azaz our 1010th debutants, with Ayling also our 114th loanee

The reason Ayling is registered before Azaz is down to the numbered shirt only

C'mon Boro! 

Coventry really good win over Leicester

That's good, I need to pop to the shop still. 

Looking forward to seeing how the new guys get on. Looks a decent team, but I suppose you never can tell until we get going.
