wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Doubt the team will be much different to this Randolph Christie Ayala Gibson Fabio Downing Leadbitter Forshaw Johnson Braithwaite Britt I'd like to think Bamford will come in... but this is probably exactly the team that we'll see today. We'll find out in 17 minutes time! Link to post Share on other sites

ladyspite 381 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 would have liked to see Bamford or Traore a head of Johnson otherwise I am satisfied with that Link to post Share on other sites
Betamaxman 14 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 would have liked to see Bamford or Traore a head of Johnson otherwise I am satisfied with that Yep. That's pretty much exactly what I thought too. Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,090 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Happy with that, about what we expected. Big game for Johnson today he really needs to show that he is adapting to this level by contributing over the full 90 minutes. Hope Clayton and Forshaw get up to speed quickly, no time for feeling your way back in in this game Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Clayton a surprise inclusion though with Leadbitter on the bench, the inevitable question is what does that mean for Baker? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Johnson starting highlights how much we need to invest in January in that position. League 1 player. Disappointed he’s starting. Otherwise not much to say about that lineup. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 No Tav in the squad is surprising. Not really sure what Johnson does to warrant a start over other people either. 1-1 today Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 313 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I'm happy with that. I hope we never see Downing as part of a centre mid pairing. I don't think he has the bottle to operate there. I'm pretty surprised Baker is being completely overlooked. People saying he only did it in a joke league but didnt he excell in that league and I believe was top scorer at U21 WC?? Link to post Share on other sites
uptheboro 4 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I think this is our biggest game to date. Reason being i think this will show us where we are really at. If i was to take off my Boro hat and scarf and be a neutral, i would have this game down for a draw. Derby played pretty well the other against QPR and i think they will come to ours fancying their chances of getting a result. Im hoping we will win today because although i think Villa will beat Ipswich, i would not be surprised if the others above us drop points, even Wolves!. so it may turn out to be a great opportunity to close the gap a little.

pikerman 1,090 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Having been out of the loop for a while abroad, whatever happened to the midfielder we bought from Watford, I cannot even remember his name. Is he still with us, out in the cold or injured? Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 regards baker, i'm sure after a defeat, monk was talking about some of our players being to lightweight. i think he may have been talking about baker. its a physical league and if you cant compete physically then forget it, ability is pointless if you cant impose it.
