Borodane 6,301 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Can't see past a boro win here:) Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Ingbar 288 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think we will fare ok if we keep Trippier quiet, he's a very important player for them and very creative for a full back. I wouldn't be surprised if Caryol doesn't play for that reason. Tough game though and they're top for a reason, so let's not get too confident! Link to post Share on other sites
SmogInSheff 66 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 This is a huge game for us. If we can beat the team at the top after getting our first away win would do wonders for belief and confidence. BUT it's a big ask as they are full of confidence and flying Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Scott Wilson @Scottwilsonecho 1h #Boro set to be without Carayol (groin) and R Williams (ankle) for Boxing Day. Leadbitter still struggling with illness and also a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I wonder how Steele's ankle is shaping up? It would be a strange coincidence if it heals at about the same time that Given's loan period ends...... Link to post Share on other sites
Armster 29 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 well on the history of loose win loose draw loose win loose draw loose win... the next game should be loose and with Burnley I can't see us having enough to overcome, so I'm going for a 2-0 defeat unfortunately :( Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 thing is that they arnt a great team, looking at their squad its not that great, form counts for everything in this league though. no pressure on us either. we have played some great stuff under karanka, if we can stay solid at the back i am confident that we always have a goal in us. would take a point at this stage though Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Scott Wilson @Scottwilsonecho 1h #Boro set to be without Carayol (groin) and R Williams (ankle) for Boxing Day. Leadbitter still struggling with illness and also a doubt. As previously mentioned I think that those who will be unavailable during the pre January games might just indicate what to suspect departure wise???????? Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 surely after fighting so hard to keep leadbitter in the summer we wont sell him now, unless we get a big offer. was it 3.5 million we turned down in the summer? surely we can still get at least that now if not more. wouldnt be fussed at all if williams left, should be able to get at least 2.5/3 million for him Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Can Reach be recalled?. We could do with him now that Carayol is out injured. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Can Reach be recalled?. We could do with him now that Carayol is out injured. he is just their until jan 1st anyway, dont think you can recall players outside the transfer window though http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24872383 Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Sheff wed have just recalled Maguire from Coventry, so it must be possible. We've still got adhoma, ledesma, Halliday, lukey William etc if we need anything to cover before jan. Link to post Share on other sites

boksicdink 1,942 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hopefully there will be above 20,000 there on Boxing day...my first home game of the season, so i'm looking forward to it! If we can get a positive result it would really boost the fans and the players for the second half of the season Link to post Share on other sites
