Staying up late on a school night for a 6 year old is appealing or simply because he gets the watch the red and white? Either way let's hope he goes to bed happy instead of being bored to sleep He'll be asleep by half time. My 5 year old got to 60 mins of the Cardiff game before turning to me and saying, "Daddy, this is really boring!".. I could only agree! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bad first half and yes he will probably be asleep! Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Suspect the crowd will be very small tonight. It was pretty much empty by 80 minutes on Saturday. Didn't help that the owls fans were superb either - made it feel like an away game for us. Worrying that it's looking like we might be dragged into a relegation battle. I'd definitely start Ayala (for shotton). Keep the rest of the team the same. Maybe Howson on for dijksteel, although I thought he was ok the other night I've put 1-1 on my super 6.

diggerlad07 3,695 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think the first 15-20minutes are crucial tonight. Intrigued to see if Preston come out and attack or sit back until the fans start to get impatient. Lack of activity of this thread once again show the lack of optimism and care round the club at the moment. I'm going for a 1-1 draw unfortunately. I'm currently on way to ground now and I fully expect the mood to be dampened from the start. Changes tonight and it's nice to see HOwson back in the starting line up. UTB!

I suspect lowest (league game) crowd of the season, yes, 17-18k I reckon. I wonder if Fry might be dropped rather than Shotton. Or maybe even Bola like at the weekend. Maybe Clayton for Howson and move Wing further back. I think I put 1-1 or 2-2 on my super 6. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Cinema Car park is pretty dead. Its usually packed by 1hr before kick off. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 So happy Tav is playing and Browne they deserve a opportunity Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 This is Tav's chance to nick a place, hope he proves me wrong, as I'm not overly fussed on him. I'm guessing this is 4-3-3, Howson replacing Wing. Saville squandered his repeated opportunities to do the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Shotton playing left back again today. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,917 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well he’s freshened it up a bit. I’d love to see two big performances from Tav and Browne Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Glad Howson and tav are starting. Always think Browne has a red card in him when I see him though... Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 315 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Im hoping its kind of a 4321 and Howson is in midfield. Let Tav and Browne just flutter around Britt. 1 thing thats annoyed me this season is our wide forwards dont seem to switch about much. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Come on Boro! Give us something to be excited about, please! We really need it... A good game and points on the board, that'd be nice. A good performance from Dijk, Browne, Tav and mainly Ass-man could do us good .. The rest I think will do ok or at least standard... But those 4 mentioned really need some confidence from playing good and scoring... Edited October 1, 2019 by SmogDane 1 Link to post Share on other sites
