boro-unger 3,811 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 We need to be winning games against other lowly teams like Charlton. I see another 1-0 like the Barnsley game. Britt to score. The worrying thing is that the Christmas break is usually our poor period... We really can't afford that this season Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Charlton are in a worse run of form than us even if you look back as far as 10 games. Relatively compared to the rest of their season, this is as bad as runs get and suggests a pretty downward trend after a pretty positive start. If you're looking at teams we want to bring down into the general dogfight at the bottom of the division and prove there are worse teams than us, this is a game we really need to win. Winning comfortably would be nice but just a win will do. Link to post Share on other sites

BillinghamBoro 229 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That bench... Imagine spending as much money as we have done and having to rely on youth to plug the gaps 😢 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Jesus christ, Clayton and Saville both playing. I will always love Adam Clayton but that's going to be one ineffective midfield. Wing one of those ill players? Don't remember him picking up any knocks? Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I think Wood should of played and moved Howson to midfield benching Saville Link to post Share on other sites

Bola is very much a left sided player so Spence makes more sense for the right side of the pitch and Coulson does look like he will go a long way in the game. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I know clayton gets knocked a fair bit but he has shown he is solid in a 2 man CDM partnership. It seems like the formations havent suited him since Aitor left. 523 today looks bad on paper with that laborious and slow combo. Again for me, its tactics and the players we currently have not giving us flexibility or much choice. Link to post Share on other sites
