Match Day Thread Middlesbrough FC v Sunderland AFC – Sunday 4th February 2024 - KO 12:00

You heard that he's injured, or something else?

I wouldn't be devastated with a back 4 of Hume-Ballard-Seelt-Hjelde

But aye, bit of a gamble doing it today

 

I’ve never classed it as a derby and never will, getting beat of Boro never comes close to how it feels when the mags beat us. Vice versa with a win, when we beat the mags I’m up bright and early and walking around Washington looking for some mags to smile at.
Today’s game I would take a point now, it’s been a graveyard down there for us over the years and I just don’t fancy us today. Heart says 1-1, head says 3-1

 

Neither does the mags anymore!

 

said the same to my mates I was over the defeat before I left the ground that doesn’t happen in a derby.

 

You what...

 

Know your place you 2 headed freaks

 

Oooh just feel that hate

Just got a whiff of something that he was carrying knock and may not play.

Seems he is. So hope he is ok over the 90

 

unfair on seelt that, one of the best players on the pitch last week

 

Harsh on Seelt but much better balance in that side

 

good to see Roberts on bench

 

Good to see Roberts is back on the bench

 

Aye Kelly too. No Rigg.

 

Big test for Hjelde coming straight in but I like the team. Feels balanced for the first time in a while. Good to see Kelly on the bench, deservedly so.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Guess your mate of a mate was full of **** then! Or however you heard it

 

Someone said Rigg walked out of the stadium on friday on crutches, not sure how true that is mind

 

don’t think it was likely Rigg would play Friday and then today as well. Good chance for Kelly with the first team

 

Was just through a third party mate. But yeah. Good to see him playing.
