A new backdrop, probably added another £250k to the admin charge... please log in to view this image Looking ahead to Boro “It’s a great opportunity for us now with the games coming up. Three good matches. The next one is the important one. We are looking for to Middlesbrough. “Boro are good and I watched them against Bolton. They will be a tough nut to crack. They score a lot of goals from set pieces, which is something we need to improve on. It’s a chance for us to improve as a team.” Adkins on the players “The player reaction has been good since we came back. We want to put right our performance in the last game against Reading. We all know the expectation. “We were well aware of what Reading were capable of. It’s gone now.” Adkins on team news “Evandro (hamstring) and Dan Batty will not make the Boro game. Ondřej Mazuch is training but will not be available. He needs more game-time and he’ll get that chance in a behind close doors match next week.” Upcoming games “It’s a great opportunity to see how far we can grow. We are finding out about ourselves and the people who we are surrounded with. We’ll find out who wants to be on the journey. We are learning about our players’ character. You sometimes find out more about yourselves on bad runs.” Adkins coy on Grosicki starting “Kamil has been training really well as all the players have. You always measure what you see in the game. It’s about him applying that in the matches.” Well, that was a bit of a non-event.
Adkins - Growshitski has been training well. Thank the lord were saved. Oh hang on a minute, he hasn't mentioned the others. Were doomed.
More positive bullshit. I’d have more respect if he said - we are deep in a relegation dogfight, so time to start fighting. Bored sick of his optimism
Nige - “We are finding out about ourselves and the people who we are surrounded with.” Yeah...so are we, and what we’re finding out isn’t good ! By the way I’d hope there’s a club fine for talking about the ****ing ‘journey’...it’s a relegation scrap, not ****ing X Factor!
Already been in it...well the beer cellar anyway Currently on the 5th pint of a very pleasant afternoon
But that pretty much is what he's saying. Think if he gives up on putting a positive spin on it he's lost it. Of course he knows we're in a relegation battle.
Don't know what's wrong with you all I'm looking forward to tomorrow, it's a big game 3 valuable points needed, stomachs churning at the thought of it, I can't wait come on you Hull we can stuff these. Well Just thought I would try something different from my usual miserable negative self has the wife calls me mind you it's ok for her she dosnt go. 1 point would be great 3 a miricle. Yes I'm having a few beers.
Boro score a lot from set pieces? Jesus, they’ll have a ****ing field day against our clueless defence. We don’t even mark opposition players in our 6 yard box for corners. We’re going to get thrashed again - City 0 Boro 5.
