    I think we all know the fixture Saturday = Boro home. Low and behold, it's a top 4 clash! Going into the Bolton match, my friend and I were thinking " in 90 minutes we could be TOP of the league " - then I got thinking. This would be the first time in 9 years since we were top......!!!!

    This Saturday's game is very tough. Boro unbeaten in 7, their last defeat at Wolves. Last time out, they were top beating title rivals Derby County 2-0. Karanka seems to be settling in well, fantastic player he was for Real and seems to have a good knowledge of the game. Bamford is knocking them in for fun, Adomah is a very tidy winger I remember seeing several times for Bristol City, and a certain Mr Leadbitter will I'm sure be very motivated for this one. Have a good game Grant, however take a defeat home please! Vossen apparently has started to click also......

    However, we're in a good vain of form also. 1 defeat in 17 ( that Cardiff defeat still annoys me we capitulated after Whittingham scored out of the blue )

    This is a massive massive test!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'd imagine the team will be -

    Bialkowski

    Chambers/ Smith/ Berra/ Mings

    Tabb/ Skuse

    Ando Bishop McGoldrick

    Murphy

    N.Hunt / S.Hunt / Gherkin/ Ambrose/ Bru/ Parr / Clarke perhaps the bench. I guess the question position is Anderson, the rest picks itself I'd say.

    Thoughts!? Very nervous about this one! Would definitely take the point. Hoping for a decent gate too, this is a very big game but they all are. COYB!

    Borough traditionally get humped at our place so I'm going for a 3-0 Town win.

    We have to snuff out Bamford and Adomah but I reckon we have enough about us to cause them problems.

    I'll go for a scrappy 1-0 victory to us. Berra with a header from a corner, around the 60 minute mark.

    Pleased with the optomism!

    I'm going to plump for a 1-1 draw, and I'd take that for sure. We've only lost 3, they've only lost 4 could be a little bit of a stalemate? Though I have a horrible feeling we may lose this by the odd goal..... hope not!

    2-1 Town
    Murphy and a Skuse volley from 25 yards.
    Like every match in this league we'll need to be on our game but there's no reason why we can't get a win.
