Jimmy 140 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Genuinely can't wait for tonight's match. Didn't get to the Wolves game so this will be my first time seeing our new squad, and new setup. Don't think it's going to be a great performance to be honest, as fully expect us to take a good few weeks to get well and truly up and running. New squad, new tactics always takes time to gel. I'm hoping we can grind out a few wins early in the season even if we're not hitting peak performances and build as the season goes on. I just hope that if we don't get a result tonight, there's no early season meltdowns and calls for Monk out! Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Don't forget time of first goal is needed (2 minute window either side) Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Randolph Christie Ayala Gibson Friend Clayton Howson Forshaw Traore Assombalonga Bamford Traore - Fletcher Forshaw - Downing That's my guess. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm looking forward to the game. Seems like forever since I've been to the riverside. I'm going for 2-1 boro, assombalonga first goal in the 22nd min Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot we had Fletcher.. oops! No way downing should be in our centre midfield for me personally. I'll also go for... Britt in the 65th min. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Downing hasn't played a game in preseason, doubt he'll even make the bench.. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Downing is not wanted and trains with the u-23 for what I understand...... Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 On the basis of injury talk around Braithwaite and Ayala, added to De Roon's departure, I see this: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GzABVGb6tNc/WY7b1lvdWDI/AAAAAAAAANU/ZnmAys3lAQ0DKapg0ChR7rFe98Cym7JeQCEwYBhgL/s640/borovblades.png[/img] Link to post Share on other sites

All i will say on the Downing inclusion is he took part in first team training yesterday and I'm led to believe he will play today Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I find it very strange for someone to be out in the cold for so long and brought back out of nothing straight into the first team fold. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I could understand Downing being in the squad if Braithwaite is out. Can't see him starting, but wouldn't be shocked to see him in the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 So have we had any confirmation on this mysterious injury picked up by Braithwaite? It's been a good couple of days now and we've still heard nothing. Hipefully there's nothing in it. Link to post Share on other sites
