Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Sunderland AFC – Monday 5th September 2022 - KO 20:00

It has to be a trick question Saff?

 

Stan the man

 

I’m quietly confident and looking forward to the game. I think TM will have prepared them well. I think we’ll win by 2 clear goals. 1-3 to the lads!!

 

The one thing I'm hoping to see tonight is fight and a never say die attitude from the team.

That and plenty of balls in the back of the boro net

 

I think the former is a given with this group of players.

 

I hope so, the last two performances have had a lovely mixture of grit and skill

 

Isn't he close to a suspension so might ease off a bit.

O’Nien ease off? I hope you’re joking. Poor footballer who’s filling in canny at CB with 2 alongside him. He’s my biggest worry for tonight.

 

A few games ago/start of season, I'd of took a draw .
Especially if someone told me our manager would leave.

But I feel like the team is more suited to this league, and that Mowbray is a better coach.
Two unlucky results with a red card at Sheffield and a game against Norwich where we deserved at least a point .
And to bounce straight back after both games shows we aren't here to just make up the numbers.

Gutted I'm on nights for this one but I'm so glad we are back to playing games like this and hopefully get a good win tonight.
I certainly think we are capable of it.

 

Brilliant

 

If I ever came up against one like that I’d have spent the entire game laughing at him and not been able to take him seriously. You just know he’s going to be “look at me” all game tonight!!

 

Not a good record away against the mutants over recent years but better overall .

Exactly, must be a mare running around with that stuck through your Barnet, maybe it's glued on or something.

 

I’ve never been his biggest fan but credit where due lads been ****ing decent last few weeks.

 

Aye, played well at CB with the game in-front of him. Need another performance tonight

 

wonder if that is a hint

 

Looks like Diallo has travelled with the squad.....

 

good of them to do that like
