p_mards 1,365 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think we will start with: Meijas; Fredericks, Omeruo, Gibson, Friend; Clayton, Leadbitter; Adomah, Vossen, Reach; Kike. We're at our best in the second half of games, so the impact of players like Tomlin and Bamford coming off the bench could be crucial. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 331 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Why are people leaving Bamford out ? Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Mainly due to Karanka saying that he will assess the fitness of players as tour 10 men had to cover a lot of ground against Birmingham. When players are tired it's when players are most vulnerable to picking up muscle injuries. Plus we play Bolton on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 481 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 @ DownSouth. Is the crowd prediction thingy still going? as it seems to have fizzled out of late. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
London_born_Boro_bred 29 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I literally have no idea what team id like to see. Do we rest the guy who's been in great goalscoring form as he has played a lot in the last week? Does Kalas or Woody come in for Gibbo? Should Gibbo even be dropped? Adomah or Nsue? Tomlin or Vossen? Too many options I really have no idea but i think it will be something close to Mejias Fredericks Woody Omeruo Friend Clayton Leadbitter Adomah Bamford Reach Vossen Whoever plays I still think we'll win 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites
southern softy 10 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Derby, Norwich, Ipswich and it looks like Bournemouth also, to increase their striking options in the loan window. They all have strikers in the top six of the top scorer table. I wonder if AK and SG have an iron an the fire? Link to post Share on other sites

IMO If our squad stays injury free there is no need for further additions.... If Carayol comes back in to the team and can get anywhere near hes best that would be better than any possible loan.

Red Rocket 244 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Does anyone else think that dropping Gibson would be a bad idea? I just don't want the lad's confidence to drop because he's played brilliantly all season. The team and Karanka clearly believes in him so if he's fit enough, I think he should start.

I don't think there is any need to drop him but he might be rotated and some would assume hes been dropped... I think he done enough to have earned the faith of AK. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think that's what I'm worried about NB. I don't think for a minute that Karanka would drop him for a poor performance because that's clearly not the case. I just hope people don't think it's because of the mistake. I hate it when some sections of the fans (not oneBoro!) create villains out of any of our players. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If anything his mistake on Wednesday will make him even less likely to make the same mistake tomorrow as his concentration will be fine in the short term. It's all about how he learns from it in the future to make sure that he keeps alert at all times. I think we are really missing Ayala as we aren't the same defensively without him. I'd like to see a more physical defender like Kalas in CB coming in for one of Omeruo or Gibson tomorrow. I'm a bit concerned about the game tomorrow for a number of reasons: *Meijas being error prone which Leeds will know from the reverse game *Defensively we have been making quite a few costly mistakes in recent games *Tiredness from Wednesday with 10 men Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure he was even atc fault for the own goal at Blackpool because I never saw the build up to the goal and don't know who was supposed to be marking who.. All I know is if he diddnt attempt to clear the ball it was a sitter for the Blackpool player near him, I actually think he was a bit unlucky with the header. I think Gibson comes across as mentally tough and I back him to be brilliant for the rest of the season just like he has been all season. Link to post Share on other sites

If that`s not an issue we will beat Leeds easily because there trash and pay backs a Bxxxx.. UTB. Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 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 Why is it 2 bad games give him issues but 2 good games dont solve the issues Link to post Share on other sites
