Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Our pace is going to make Rooney look like an OAP, the game should pass him by easily and I wouldn't be too surprised if Cocu brings him off at half time. He still has a hell of a pass on him, though. 2-0 to us I reckons. No wait, i'm still doing the reverse psychology thing aren't I? 2-0 to Derby. 2-0 to us Link to post Share on other sites

nunthorpered 1,920 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 1-1 for me. Both teams in good form. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I wonder if Woody will go for Gestede up-top with Fletcher so we can exploit their slow midfield by playing it over the top. Would mean dropping Roberts though. Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 good point about their midfield slowness, tav should get plenty of space to burst forward for nice free runs at the defence. love it when he gets in full flow. not the quickest acceleration but once up to speed you often see players struggle to keep up with him even without the ball.

boro-unger 3,817 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Which academy graduate has impressed you the most this season? Spence has looked great, but I think the academy lads as a whole have impressed me the most. They're in the team based on talent and work ethic, not just because we need to fill a gap (even if that was how they got their foot in) Wayne Rooney or Lewis Wing, who wears their hair transplant better? I feel it's important to grow old with grace, or perhaps more importantly for a footballer, grow old with pace. WR has not done this. I look forward to seeing him jog around having little impact on the game. Will we see any of the new boys starting? Yes. Roberts. What position will Boro finish come the end of the season? On top. Missionary I think they call it. Would you make any changes to the personnel or formation? No. Woodgate would not be happy with me if I did. And he'd ask how I got into his whiteboard room. And I wouldn't have a satisfactory answer. Score predictions for this one? Think we could run rampant tomorrow with our new found optimism and momentum. 4-0 Boro. Although I dreamt last night that we lost 8-0, so... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Well game day and have to admit the thought of driving up to Middlesbrough twice in 6 days has crossed my mind! For those who are slightly supersticious my closest friend has been in England for a period and our 4 game winning run and draw against Spurs coincided with his arrival and stay. He left these shores last night to go back to Australia and so coincidence and such springs to mind about the game today, really hoping for a win because he will not be back soon!

Gilling Red 21 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Today is a far bigger game than Spurs on Tuesday. Derby have had a couple of good results and we need to be on our metal. A win for us would be brilliant and for once in a long time I'm looking forward to the game. UTB Link to post Share on other sites
