Boro vs. Brighton (FA Cup) 0-1


Recommended Posts

Middlesbrough vs. Brighton and Hove Albion (Football Match)

From Rickypedia, the free encyclopedia 

 

Middlesbrough vs. Brighton and Hove Albion (or Boro vs. Albion) is an upcoming football match, starring Adama Traore, George Friend, Pascal Gross and the main villain from the previous instalment, Dale Stephens. Boro vs. Albion is a spin off 'FA Cup' game, and is not in the 'Championship' canon. It is a remake of the 2016 blockbuster Boro vs. Brighton, which finished 1-1, and propelled Boro into the Premier League franchise.

 

Plot

Travelling back home after an impressive and comfortable win against QPR, The Boro go home and prepare themselves for the return of Brighton and Hove Albion to the Riverside.

 

Last time out, the film was hailed as a major success, with critics citing the storyline, performances, Ramirez Stephens subplot and the ending as the best moments. Two years later though, Brighton are now in the Premier League while Boro are in the Championship.

 

Brighton had a great start to life in the Premier League, but just 1 win in the last 12 makes cause for concern, and the FA Cup could be a great path for them for some success this season.

 

Middlesbrough beat Sunderland 2-0, while Brighton beat Crystal Palace 2-1, to create this project in the 4th round.

 

Cast

  • Darren Randolph as Goalkeeper
     
  • Ryan Shotton as Right Back

  • Patrick Bamford as Attacking Right Mid

  • Adama Traore as Attacking Left Mid
     
  • Britt Assombalonga as Forward

The Brighton Squad all play themselves.

Let's play a strong team here.

 

-------------Randolph--------------

Shotton-Gibson-Ayala-Friend

--------Howson-Clayton---------

Traore-Braithwaite-Downing

-----------------Britt------------------

 

2-1 Boro, with Britt and Braithwaite getting on the scoresheet.

 

I'd like to see Clayton start and give Leadbitter a rest. If Clayton is here to stay he needs some minutes. I also think Braithwaite deserves a shot behind the striker where he is most usefull. Up front I've gone with Britt as we could really do with him finding his scoring boots again. I wouldn't be disappointed if Gestede or Bamford are given the nod though.

 

Adama won't score but will be match winner in the next game against Wednesday :)

With a cast that good, should be an award winner - just hope there's no 'Best Actor' nominees (from both sides!).

 

This Traore chap - I imagine if he plays, he will score. We (I speak for the Blue & Whites - or yellowy green as we may well be on Saturday) are currently in the habit of ending bad runs of opponents, such as WBA's winless streak, until we come along.

 

Looks like Stephens has said he's keen to play, so the villain of the piece may well make a guest starring role.

 

As for the result - we will lose!

Who are the biggest threats from the Brighton and Hove Albion side?

Do you see any upsets happening in the 4th round? Perhaps Wigan v West Ham or Notts County v Swansea.

---------------Randolph--------------

Shotton-Ayala-Fry-Friend

--------Howson-Clayton---------

Christie-Bamford-Braithwaite

-----------------Britt------------------

 

I've gone for a little more left field starting 11, giving Leadbitter, Gibson, Traore and Downing a rest... allowing Fry, Clayton, Bamford and Christie to get some game time in their legs.

 

Think it will be another year and a half before he scores again, but boy did he take that goal well, he even timed his run in behind perfectly! Maybe it wouldn't be the best time to rest him when he's on such form.

 

Going for a 1-1 Britt FGS and a replay which neither team will be particularly happy about.

It's for this reason that I'm hoping CH will throw caution to the wind for once and go for an attacking approach. We really don't need a replay, I think I'd rather we just went out this weekend!

- I would give Shotton, Leadbitter, and Downing rests for Tuesday. Chrisite, Braithwaite, and Clayton to come in.

 

Will Adama Traore ever score again?

- The goal should have done his confidence a world of good.. plus all the other players and the fans were clearly buzzing for him.

 

First goalscorer and score predictions?

- I think it will be a tight game and a draw... but hoping for a Boro 2-0 with Britt to find his scoring boots.

I see this as being the next stage of Clayton's reintegration into the team.

Him and Howson in the centre.

Gestede to start again to give Dunk something to think about.

Today I've read suggestions of Christie right wing and Fabio left wing - what's going on!

 

-------------------- Randolph ------------------

-- Shotton --- Ayala -- Gibson --- Friend --

---------- Clayton -------- Howson ----------- 

-- Traore ------- Gestede ----- Downing--

---------------- Assombalonga -----------------

 

The seagulls have only scored 17 goals in 24 league matches this year - I say let them attack us, we can soak it up and let Traore fly and have Britt on big Rudy's knockdowns.

We may not come up against Glenn Murray on saturday as him and his wife has been arrested in connection with an alledged tax fraud of 1.1 million.

 

Just means we'll probably face their new striker Locadia

i don't think we will do wholesale changes and might end up playing the same 11 that played against QPR but if we do changes with having Tuesday night in mind this is what i believe we could see.
