But against Brentford, I didn't hear the old "Stevie Gibson is king" chant ring out once. That could suggest fans are becoming more ambivalent about him, which is a significant shift in itself. I heard it a couple of times, but our support has been getting quieter and quieter for the past few seasons, regardless of how it's going. It was like a morgue for a lot of last season, even when we were winning. Link to post Share on other sites

I was in the East stand for Brentford, so it was hard to hear chants emanating from the South over the rustling of crisp packets and people saying "oh dear" all the time. Still seemed very subdued though. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 A tic .. Luckily it didn't infect me with borelia! Promotion - Ask Norwich if a bad start = doom and gloom with no possibilities of promotion .. 43 games to go. 6th spot is possible still. Relegation .. I cannot see it, I will not see it, I cannot hear anybody saying they see it .. Randz Dijk, Ayala, Fry, Friend Clayton, Wing, Howson, McNair Fletcher, Britt 4-1-3-2 Wigan must be beaten 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Well Game Day is upon us! Honestly feel we will witness a far better performance and positive result than of late. Yes finger nails will be chewed and there will be moans and groans but the players know they need a win and yep we will get just that. Come On Boro! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Massive game today as believe one win will instill belive in the squad and could make for a string of results. Also believe it's important for a settled starting 11 to be playing so would go for Randolph Dijk fry Ayala Bola Clayton Howson Browne. Wing. Tav Britt 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I made 4 match day threads last year and we didn't win in any of them. If that stretches to a 5th I think the most likely explanation is that I'm cursed... 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree with Durham Red that we need some belief, hope will take care of itself once a few wins are recorded. BIg, big game tonight Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Rudy Gestede could return to the squad tonight along with Dael Fry Echo's line up Randolph; Dijksteel, Ayala, Shotton, Friend; Clayton; Johnson, Wing, McNair, Fletcher; Assombalonga 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Fry, yes but only if hes 100%. No need to risk him getting injured again. I don't want to see Rudy in a Boro shirt ever again, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 If he plays then all I want from him is 100% effort, determination and a willingness to do his utmost to achieve a Boro win. If he does then fair play to the lad, if he wonders around aimlessly then he deserves all the critical comments which will be aimed at him. This season is the make or break for Rudy Gestede and I would prefer the "make" Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 IMHO it's too late for Gestede, he's had multiple chances to impress and he just hasn't. He's simply not a very good footballer and buying him was a huge mistake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe there’s an argument that we could get away with it at home but Marcus Browne has to play LW tonight, we can’t play with Fletcher or Britt out there because they simply don’t defend. Coulson recieved some very unfair flak on being caught out of position but 9 times out of 10 had a 2 on 1 against him. Link to post Share on other sites

I can honestly hand on heart say I’ve never seen a less effective player from his performances in the last year or two. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think it would cost too much to fire him into the sun at the same time as Shotton? ? we would need to double the cannon size at least. Link to post Share on other sites
