Neverbefore 16,529 30.4k 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 2,090 6.9k 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boksicdink 2,594 7k 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler 197 20.1k Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This also means no restrictions regarding loans. Apart from the keeper, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty 6,192 11.2k 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?

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 5.6k 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler 197 20.1k 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph. 63 830 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.

Somerset Boro 153 5.1k 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Redcar Pebble 10 435 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsouth 8,791 40k 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!

boro-unger 4,981 18.2k Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I dislike parmo's so he can have all of mine thank you very much!
