Ashtonwurzel Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Could be good news for Saturday. Not only do they have an away game versus Swansea tonight but have a terrible injury crisis. Jos Luhukay is still contending with an extensive injury list with midfielder Ross Wallace (knee), the latest casualty, waiting to learn whether he requires surgery. Cameron Dawson is expected to start in place of Joe Wildsmith in goal, while Barry Bannan, Tom Lees, Keiren Westwood, Joost van Aken, Kieran Lee, Sam Hutchinson, Marco Matias, Jordan Thorniley, Gary Hooper, Fernando Forestieri and Steven Fletcher all still out.

Kid in the Riot Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I honestly believe it's a 'must win' if we want to make the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on other results of course but we can’t continue to rely on the failings of others. Absolutely one that we just desperately need to win to get that confidence back.

It is, but it’s the Championship all over. Very few sides get on a really good run. It’s just too competitive unless your squad is head and shoulders above, ie Newcastle, Wolves.

Personally I’d rather we stayed there but I know what you mean. I’d fancy us to get more out of the remaining games than SHU so I won’t panic if they win tonight - but I’d rather they lost!

Sniper Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 It will mean nothing if we don't go back to what we were doing so well. For me, Reid and Pato up top. No disrespect to Fammy, but since he's come back from Injury we've changed style and it's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this thought myself to be honest, perhaps there's still a feeling of 'its alright we're still in the top 6' whereas dropping out of the play offs may snap the players back.

Friday - Boro and Leeds draw Saturday - We win, Preston lose at Bolton, Fulham draw with Derby as do Brentford and Cardiff and to top it off "plucky" Burton shock Sheff Utd away ! (Villa win though). All will look a lot better after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesboro home to Leeds Friday night so if it's not Sheff Utd tonight it'll be 'Boro that goes above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diedhiou and Reid all day, Fam has been excellent since he came back. Diony should be nowhere near this first team at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him in the team we are "softer" without the ball and not as dangerous with it. JB left midfield all day for me. Really hope the rumoured fine if he he doesn't play scenario is not affecting team selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
