    Just how I feel as well, doubt they'll learn anything from it if he does but it wouldn't do them any harm either.

    That's defeatist, not realist.

    We're above Boro in the table, and in better form than them over the last 5 (on GD but it still counts <laugh>). The idea that there's no way we can possibly hope to even get a point ("defeat beckons") is incredibly pessimistic...

    I was at Luton away with Slosher and Sheff/Scotty, under the flyover, when we faced off their hard lads ...

    ... probably doesn't know my name but he'll know my handsome face <laugh>

    Greenwood played well at our place and looked a threat even before we went down to 10 men.

    I'm thinking a draw will be a decent result but I think we're capable of beating them

    Dan Neil 4/1 to get booked. I think that’s value.

    I was thinking about that earlier, I don't think I've seen many yellow cards given for dissent and not a single red since Neil got sent off. Players swear at the ref and linesmen all game every game and it's let go.

    Beale has had another week to try and change things and get more service to our strikers. The way he has spoken in his press conference ( accent aside I think he did a pretty good job) Although we do not call this a Derby, I think this is a big game for Beale and boro will be well up for this and so shoulld we. I would take a draw and would think that would be a good result for us but would love a win for Beales sake

    Agreed. I thought he did well in that press interview....his best to date. Seemed more relaxed and in control of things,which I'm hoping is an optimistic sign.

    Quite correct, but if you look at RTBs original predicted Boro lineup you will see what i mean.
