Block53 12 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If anyone's in the Block62 area of the South Stand we'd appreciate it if you could get to your seats a couple of minutes earlier then normal in order to help out with the display/tifo. Can't wait for this one. Huge game. It's as clear as day which areas Tomas needed to improve in and I'd imagine the club staff have been working on this for months now. The lad needs our full support, a few early catches and he'll be full of confidence. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,363 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Lately, particularly without Ayala due to suspension and injury, we haven't look anywhere near as solid defensively, especially with us now having defenders making individual errors. Nothing terrible as we're still doing ok defensively but just not to the exceptionally high standards that were set prior to that. Add to that we will now be without Dimi, due to be replaced by the unpredictable Meijas, there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about us defensively. I hope Meijas can come in and show that he has improved from the shocking performances that he put in at the start of the season. I think we're fairly fortunate that our form has been brilliant over that period. Going into the last end of the season I think we need to find a bit more, either defensively or scoring goals, in order to be able to be able to match the likes of Derby and Bournemouth, should they regain their mid-season form. Otherwise we might get left behind. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Meijas has undoubtedly improved in the last couple of games but i simply cannot agree that he has ironed out all the issues he had before. In the leeds game his mistake of pushing the ball back into the box cost us a point. In both the ***nal and city games he did this on multiple occasions without the opposition capitalising on it. Just because they didn't get on the end of the ball doesnt mean its an issue thats been solved. Because it hasnt. Im still worried Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 478 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm expecting the team to rise to the occasion before the cameras as they did the last time versus Derby. And prove that indeed Middlesbrough are champions elect this season... Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I am sure others share this but my only concern is that we do not take full advantage of the situation presented to us to ensure that come Saturday evening we are still sitting top of the table and with another game out of the way. Would hate a draw and then to find ourselves possibly sitting in 3 rd spot one point behind the leaders. Link to post Share on other sites

SmogInSheff 66 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I am very confident about this one - we are very good at home - I expect a similar performance to the ones against Derby and Forest. I'm going for 2-0 at least maybe 3-0. UTB!! Link to post Share on other sites
Boro_Phil 4 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ive just woke up, had a dream leeds won 1-0, but then there was some confusion and it was boro who won 1-0. So i guess that means nothing Link to post Share on other sites
