Is anyone really interested ?(Yes, you Mick!) I can see us getting a tonking,but the dice say 3-2?! (Yay!)
2-1 win and we sit and wonder where that came from.. McDonnell to put in an impressive debut performance and we even knock the ball about a bit.
I'm sure the men in white coats will be taking me away shortly, but if Derby beat Wendy in the early kick off, I can see us fighting like mad for this one, and possibly mugging them at the death (ala Watford last season). If on the other hand Wendy get a result, then we will get hammered 4-0.
Stretchy,it would be the first time we would have fought like mad to win a game for some considerable time,really can't see MM breaking out of his "not lose at all costs" mould.
Stretchyboy has a valid point, if you play like teams have been playing us all season a cheeky win on the break is on the cards for the tractors
I don't think it'll be a heavy loss, we rarely have them under Mick. Infact, I read earlier today somewhere we'd kept something like 14 clean sheets, and ontop of that had only conceded 1 in several games - I think something like 33 games, we've actually conceded one or less so the much maligned defence for the most part have actually had an exceptional season. Sadly, the other end we've been beyond toothless for the most part! Standard 2-0 home win, Rhodes with one, Nugent with the other sounds about right to me.....
Well we won't Spanish, as Boro don't tonk teams and we ( see above ) don't actually concede a bucket load. Boro are more than happy at 1-0 to manage the game/ conserve energy. Cost them vs Burnley. I think we'll lose also, sorry but the players they have on the wages ie Rhodes/ Ramires / Downing is different level than us. Alright if you get promotion, can set you back a long way if you don't. Have to see how the season finishes to see if Boro have been smart or not. ( We'll lose 4-0 now ! ) Any lineup thoughts? Dozzell perhaps bench, McDonnell a chance of debut, same for Kenlock or will both get their chance vs Mk Dons?
Adomah and Downing v Knudsen and chambers is gonna be a mare. Then throw Rhodes and Nugent into the equation and you have a drubbing imo
oh granted they have Adomah / Downing and Ramires behind one of our nemesis's, but they really aren't a drubbing kind of side. We'll see. If Knudsen plays like he did at Sheff Weds ( class vs the balls up for Pitman ) then he'll be fine. Containing Boro and being irritating to play I can see us being, the other end I cannot see where we're going to pose a threat bar set pieces. I wonder if this game may be streamable with Boro flying?
From The Fan Matrix in today's i paper "There's not a hope in hell we will win this game against Boro with that boring idiotic,muppet Mick McCarthy in charge.He has braindead,boring,unimaginative crappy,pathetic tactics." Shaun Hamilton And I thought Spanish and I were critical,still he'll look a bit daft if we sneak a result after going on record in a national newspaper.
Rhodes cracks the post...bloody hell.....bring on recruits quick Can we nick a point?! Come on Teddy.....feed McG a few. Starved of any ball.
Well played Town! Come on you Blues...stopped gardening to come and cheer! Playing rather well too. If we do nick this, that will make it more interesting. Borough gone quiet, I like this.
