Red Rocket 244 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm nervous now before games, during games and after games. I just think we need to play our best side if they're all fit. Dimi, Friend, Gibson, Ayala, Nsue, Clayton, Leadbitter, Adomah, Downing, Ramirez and Rhodes. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Spot on RR , sums up most of us at the minute! 3-1 win with Rhodes grabbing 2 and Ramirez the other Link to post Share on other sites

Boro Badger 87 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 I just think we need to play our best side if they're all fit. Dimi, Friend, Gibson, Ayala, Nsue, Clayton, Leadbitter, Adomah, Downing, Ramirez and Rhodes. I agree with that line up too. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding that Downing's positional play is so odd this season - the way he occasionally just starts playing on the right hand side. He and Ashley Young did that at Aston Villa behind Bent to good effect, but they 'swapped' roles - I don't remember them ever 'doubling up' on the same side. It's really odd to see at times Downing/Adomah/Nsue all working the right channel, with Ramirez just inside that and a huge space on the left. And Downing's so very cautious with his passes/dribbling, which I wasn't expecting this season. He's been almost Reach like, but I thought Reach/Friend combined better together than Downing/Friend. I'd have Downing in the team every match, but I'd ask him to be more direct with his play and stay on the left - or at least work out in training how to effectively swap roles with Adomah. Hopefully the front 4 will hit peak form in the last 6 games, and if we do that, automatic promotion will surely follow. Interesting to think that West Ham arguably replaced Downing with Antonio, who's now holding down a first team place. Who got the better deal? Link to post Share on other sites

Betamaxman 14 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=132395 Take from the other side, particularly liked DixieRoyals post I like reading other fan forums. The fans generally seem quite down beat about their chances against Boro. Unlike how I feel - usually a bit concerned! Hopefully Rhodes and Nugent will have watched a Ramirez video of how to go around a keeper. They've both missed too many 1-on-1s in the last few weeks. A win tomorrow night would be brilliant. (And any other result against a misfiring Reading side will be disappointing). COME ON BORO!! Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 You're not wrong. Having two strikers who seem to struggle at one-on-ones is very frustrating, seeing as we seem able to carve out at least one per game. Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 James Husband is back and some players are tired “The players are really tired. I need to think about them a lot. It is not to think if one player needs a rest, it is because I don’t want to take a risk with one injury. “Some players have played a lot of games and one injury can be dangerous because we won’t have time to recover. I need to speak with the doctors and physios and pick the best team for tomorrow.” http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/14419237.Aitor_Karanka_happy_to_have_defender_back_and_reports_some_Boro_players_are_tired/ Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 He just means Clayton, Downing and Rhodes will be back in the side. Nothing to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Aye, Nugent, Forshaw and Stuani are knackered with all the games they've had to play this season ;) Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If we have to rest some players surely Bolton is the game to do it. They are dog*** and we have Burnley 3 days later. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 We really shouldn't need to rest anyone, we've just come out of an international break ffs how can they be tired? Link to post Share on other sites
BoroDave4 974 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 As one or two have said, I think we will go back to our best 11, barring Ayala. Reading AK's comments about "players who haven't played for a few months but are now playing can get an injury," I think we might see Kalas back in. I'm sure Rhodes and Downing will be back, Reading are a decent side so I'd like to see our strongest 11 and then makes changes for the Bolton game. ------------Dimi---------------- Nsue--Kalas--Gibbo--Gorgeous ------Clayts---Grant--------- Albert---Gaston---Stewy ---------Rhodes------------- Link to post Share on other sites
