ChipBarrington 313 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I will be listening whilst manning the crossing on my sons train track. Hope Britt carries on and we get a nice win to really start to lift the players heads Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,811 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thoroughly enjoyed my month off going to the riverside. I even worked one Saturday and enjoyed it more than going to the Boro games of late. Saying that, our recent away performances give me a bit of hope and Britt should have a bit more confidence now. I'll go for a nervy 1-0 win. Reckon the crowd will be low today with it being sunday/on telly/Boro... Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, somewhere, the lads need to find some self-belief, not to mention some discipline and organisation at the back, plus some quick thinking going forward. We seem to start games quite brightly, but then lose our way for long spells, then get reduced to panicked, headless chicken defending for the last 10 minutes or so. Suppose we can only hope the international break has given Woody and the coaches time to drill some (or even all) of the above into the squad. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 532 with mcnair back to centre back or 433 with tav and fletcher outside britt? Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Is Friend injured again? I hadnt seen anything that reported this was the case recently. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) The difference being BORO have drawn to many games conceding 21 and only scoring 13 goals to date and there lies the problem, not conceding 21 goals but only scoring 13. So is our defending any worse than Bristol as high as 7th, no it’s not and neither is it when compared to a lot more teams but we are weak in goals and 14 short of QPR in 12th. This has got me asking myself if creating goals come from midfield then why is nothing being done about it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Well it has to be the most attacking line up we can muster so seems as if we will have a real go at Hull. Got to score first otherwise, well we all know! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The way they're practising the back line in the warm up, it looks like it's 4 at the back, Johnson, Fry, Ayala and Howson. Dijksteel may be in midfield. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 No less than 6points should be expected over the next 2 games. Friend is a crock but his experience is much needed at the moment. We are completely weakened when we have McNair in at CB. Link to post Share on other sites
