Redcar Rioja 9,930 9.6k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Which Boro team and which Blades team turn up at lunchtime? The Boro who imploded against the mighty Donny B Team, or the unbeaten Championship Boro, battering all before them. Same goes for the Blades who have seemingly been well and truly blunted. On paper, Sheffield Utd are a far better side than their start to the season suggests but their managerial blood letting is apparently coming back to haunt them. It appears, at least to me anyway, that a decent manager could get a tune out of this lot but Selles seems to be the Championship Amorim (or should that be Russell Martin?) with no sign of getting any of his notes in the right order. Let's hope Selles continues to obfuscate and Boro's Edball continues brighten our weekends with a 3-0 win! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Codger 4,390 5k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 As always, will take a point but happier with three. Promising signs but team still in process of change so there will be some days when things go wrong. Attitudes seem different and there is a greater willingness to tackle opponents and if needed, to "take one for the team". Sheff U are in a false position and we need to tread carefully and not take liberties but they have a greater need for the points and we can get a victory if we use our heads. We look to have people that will react if things aren't working and whilst not making a prediction, there is a good chance we will still be in top three tonight 🙂 UTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denzel Zanzibar 8,867 16.6k Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Feeling strangely confident today, and it's not often I can say that about the Boro! #UTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCider24 20,790 25.1k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but we've got an absolutely excellent record against Sheffield United at the Riverside. Unbeaten in 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sackrobson2 506 1.3k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Feeling very nervous for this match for some reason. It would be a massive win to go into the break with 12 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernSmoggie 5,738 7.4k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 First goal is huge here. If we get it, the place will be bouncing and Sheff Utd heads will drop. They've definitely got the players to hurt us mind. And we'll feel the miss of Azaz today, would have been a guaranteed starter and one of the new boys need to step up earlier than possibly planned.

LBP 4,528 7.2k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I don’t think Robinson, Tanganga and that are good enough to play through our press and I can’t see them launching it so hopefully we nick a goal from that early and then pick them apart 2nd half With O’Hare and Hamer (if he plays) trying to find space behind our midfield I wonder if it’s smarter to have Kante sitting and Hackney from the left ‘10’ alongside Morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brynn Bill - Fry - Jones Brittain - Hackney - Morris - Silvera Whittaker - Hansen Conway Agree with your comment about first goal. Also the atmosphere at The Riverside needs to be notched up, our away support and noise levels needs to be transmitted to our home games make it a good one all of you who are attending. Being on TV I suspect attendance will be down somewhat or are we doing ok ticket sale wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnglianRed 8,136 18.6k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Quote Now normally, I'd be posting a song about how bloody good we've been and how we're definitely getting promoted this season, but because yesterday marked 30 years of the Riverside being open I thought I'd be a bit sentimental and write a song about that instead. Enjoy, and try not to shed too many tears! https://whyp.it/tracks/304685/30-years-at-the-riverside?token=bNMGz Dammit DZ! You tugged on my heart strings a bit too hard there. 😭 Quote No, Denzel! Bad Denzel. Be positive. This is Rob Edward's team... Is there any other kind of Denzel? 😆 Talking Points Starting Line-up / Formation? [Conway] [Hansen] [Burgzorg] [Silvera] [Hackney] [Morris] [Brittain] [Jones] [Fry] [Ayling] [Brynn] Score Prediction? Middlesbrough 2 - 0 Sheff Utd Will you be attending the game? Don't do home matches...too far. Lea & Perrins or Henderson's Relish? (Henderson's Relish for me, hopefully that's not a bad omen!) Love me a bit of Lea & Perrins. What the heck is Henderson's Relish...sounds a bit icky... Henderson's Relish? 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
