Neverbefore 10,938 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Karanka hasn't put anybody straight in to the team without at least sitting on the bench first. Shay Given? Given was a special case. We had no first team keeper fit at the time. Different circumstances. Graham hadnt played much football and the chelsea boys were kept out by in form players. Were struggling in tomlins position and hes had a few weeks with the squad unlike the others he sat on the bench first. Theres absolutely no way tomlin isnt starting this game.

Aphex_Boro 1,444 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Not sure where else to put this "Striker Lee Tomlin has signed a three-and-a-half year contract after having his loan from Peterborough United converted into a permanent transfer." http://www.mfc.co.uk/page/news/latest/0,,1~3675255,00.html Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,942 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That means that he has done enough to impress AK in the last 2-3 weeks... I'm happy with him signing permanetly Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This also means no restrictions regarding loans. Apart from the keeper, of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,260 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Karanka hasn't put anybody straight in to the team without at least sitting on the bench first. Shay Given?

Were struggling in tomlins position and hes had a few weeks with the squad unlike the others he sat on the bench first. Theres absolutely no way tomlin isnt starting this game. I don't agree. When Omeruo came in, no one had the right back position nailed. Smallwood had been shipped out when Chalobah came in whilst Whitehead's form was still patchy and Graham came off the bench after 60 mins and then consequently started every game since so your fitness theory was debunked. As i stated above i'd have Tomlin starting too and with him signing this contract, the indication is he probably will which is good news. Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We play Leadbitter AMC again and we ain't scoring Leadbitter is more Run DMC than AMC. Tomlin hat-trick, Boro to win 5-1. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 So... -------------- Given --------------- Varga - Woodgate - Omerou - Friend ------- Chalobah - Leadbitter ------ Adomah ------ Tomlin ------ Carayol -------------- Graham ------------- Dimi, Hines, Whitehead, Butterfield, Ledesma, Main, Kamara Link to post Share on other sites
ph. 54 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Karanka hasn't put anybody straight in to the team without at least sitting on the bench first. Shay Given? Given was a special case. We had no first team keeper fit at the time. And Tomlin will be a special case. We have no first team player who can score at this moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Somerset Boro 98 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 i think we'll show Ross he made a mistake not joining us and shut him out the game for 90 minutes (i can't confirm anything about injury time) whilst Tomlin will score and set up Graham. i'm going 2-0 and sky bet has taken my purple note happily Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be giving Betfair some more of my dosh this weekend, but I don't think I can bring myself to put any money on the outcome of this game. Link to post Share on other sites
Boroboy1980 6 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We're awesome on sky!! 2-0 comfortable win with a Leeds red card late on. Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Pebble 10 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I was forced to vote that I love Leadboots proper loads, as no one will have the last bite of my parmo, nor does he have better hair than Gorgeous George. I'm feeling confident to beat dirty Leeds, and hopefully we'll score within 2 minutes so we don't beat our record! Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 As a matter of interest have the club done a ticket special for this game? And I think it is very unfair with the options Humpty gave us though saying that I dislike parmo's so he can have all of mine thank you very much! Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I dislike parmo's so he can have all of mine thank you very much! I was going to say the same :p although we are probably going to get lynched now! Batten down the hatches! Link to post Share on other sites
