mj south 610 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Last night's results have been a massive boost for us as I still believe top 2 is achievable. Leeds have WBA on Friday so that's more points dropped for atleast 1 of those sides, Norwich have Millwall away which is never a gimme and Sheff Utd have Sheff Wed so anything could happen there! If we can beat Wigan we will be right back in the mix for a top 2 spot! UTFB!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Looking at the upcoming fixtures for Leeds I can see them dropping more points over the next few weeks. It'll be interesting to see whether they can keep their nerves for the run-in after that. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Norsemen is an old way of saying people from the North (Scandinavia), so Codger is right ;) Denmark i hardly North.... you dont even have snow.... :-P Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I fear that Pulis will use Britts misses on saturday as an excuse to shoehorn Hugill back into the starting lineup and drop Britt to the bench. I'm hoping for an unchanged lineup even if Friend is fit again. If Pulis wants Friend at lwb I want him to drop Besic and put Saville into midfield. I know Besic had a good game on saturday but that was just the one game. Saville has been on an upward spiral for a long time now and we can't drop Mikel or Wing. But an unchanged lineup would be nice and Friend will have to win back his place and wait for others to drop in form. We really need to win this one. Last nights results were incredible and at least one team in front of us will drop points. We have to take advantage of that. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 After last nights results this has now become a must win for me if we want Top 2 , might even be time for DS to trot out his well worn saying 2-1 win for me with Saville and Assombalonga notching Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks pal! I have made limited use of my cry to arms However and agreeing with previous posts this is very much a "must win" game for all of the reasons mentioned and personally I believe that as far as away games go, particularly this one where we can do ourselves an enormous favour then it does fall into the category of being THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON...……..so far!!!! Would others agree on my assessment? Good op Sonni! Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks, guys. It would be totally typical Boro to go and lose @ Wigan now.. Everything is served and ready to be feasted, and we only have to show up to get 3 points and be back in it, cause of other results. But these situations normally makes us fail, typical Boro style.... Prayers needed! Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Last night's results were remarkable, we simply have to take advantage and close the gap. We could do with a Leeds v WBA draw? would that be the best result? That would put Leeds 8 points in front having played two games more, if we beat Wigan that's down to 5 points and in touching distance, Sheff Wed to take points of Utd would be nice. Norwich for me won't be caught so it's down to Leeds, WBA, Sheff Utd and Boro for the other spot.. Do my fellow oneBoro friends agree? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Anything but a Leeds win and then two losses. Of course Norwich can be caught. Still 39 points to play for and they are 9 points ahead. They are conceding a decent amount of goals. Two bad results and they could be out of the autos and nervousness could creep in. We also have Norwich at home. Nothing is done and dusted yet with so many games left. If, and that's a big if, we can score enough goals then we could catch the teams ahead, but unfortunatley I don't think we will score enough to win enough games. Link to post Share on other sites
RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Wigan are decent at home (29 from 17, we’re 27 from 16 at home) so could be a tough game but we need to win if we want to make top 2. Win our next 3 and we could be right back in it. Utb Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Should we beat Wigan it will be the 1st time this season that we've won 3 back to back league games so lets see if we can do it, think it will be a tough game. Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 264 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 According to the EG over 3200 sold already, should be over 4000 come Saturday, great following. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It's a good away day Wigan. It was my first away game when we were in the premier league. It was when we won with a last minute winner from Aliadiere. The game was garbage mind. Link to post Share on other sites
