Uwe 3,545 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The thing is.... In the return leg they have to do exactly the same to us. Get in about the midfield, a few crunching tackles put the defence under pressure. Don't let is get the balls to the flanks and run at you. The difference is they need to win and we don't. Also there's no point crossing balls in as gibbo and Ayala will cut them out all day. So see how upset their fans are when if its 0-0/1-1 after 75 mins and their players are are just going through all ours looking for a loose ball they can chase down. Pretty football won't apply then, I'll bet ya Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Tickets came through the post just now, excitements levels have just gone up a few gears aaaahh Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm actually really scared about Friday now. Not sure why but this morning I've had this terrible sense of unease when thinking about the game Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 1-2 with us conceding a last minute goal. Bam Bam Bam to pop in the winner in extra time to send the Riveraide into raptures. Last minute penalty claim from Brentford rejected. We're not doing this the easy way. Link to post Share on other sites
Barticus 29 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 2-0 Boro, early goal to settle the nerves then after controlling the game Forshaw seals it with 10 mins remaining, cue delirious celebrations, yes please Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Twelfth Man from North Stand have planned a card display and Red Faction have got something planned as well. Will be a special atmosphere particularly before kick off Link to post Share on other sites
HolgateHero 601 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Interestingly AK wasn't that chuffed with how we played last time out, so I'm hoping we are even more ruthless this time and retain the energy and togetherness from last week. As long as we keep 11 on the pitch, I think we'll do it (in the nipsy twitching classic boro way). I've been unimpressed with Bamford lately (he kept slipping over on Friday), whereas Kike really knows how to scrap. I hope we get the mix right at the top, I'd play 442 and make sure we keep a high press. Really don't want to see us sitting back defending a lead, our defence works best when our attack is firing and it will be terrifying. But I can see it happening if we score the first goal. The most important game for many years, not just this season! It's business time and results are the product. Over to AK and the lads… COME ON BORO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,557 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 i really enjoyed a boro team going out there to battle their way through and get stuck in to the limit. so far removed from the powderpuff football served up during our freefall under southgate. brentford fans get your hopes and expectations up for friday to cme here and turn us over. thats as good as its going to get 'hopes and expectations'. Friday night the mighty BORO will crush your dreams of premier league football. enjoy the long trip home. Link to post Share on other sites

Bamfords clearly not fully fit, I would be tempted to start Kike instead but I don't think the Kike-Vossen partnership is that good..... Link to post Share on other sites
