wendyredredrobin Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Either a half fit Baker or a full back at centre half, our defence looks a bit shaky to me anyway. We don't seem to have much up top at the moment, though I think Weimann and Fam might work well together when he is back. Boro will likely play 5 across the middle nulifying our midfield which seems to be expert at little more than going backwards or sideways, I have a horrible feeling that tomorrow will not be much fun for City supporters. Nothing on the bench to pep things up either if we find ourselves chasing the game. Hope I'm wrong, but Boro are a very good team and I can't see where our inspiration is going to come from at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think we will lose, but not get ‘stuffed’. Borough are a good side - but so are we. There will be goals - I predict a 2-1 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 A few games against Boro in recent times I thought we would get stuffed, but we somehow found a way to win. Our record is pretty decent so home win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 It'll be a difficult game which could go either way but dont think we'll get stuffed. We are very competitive at Ashton Gate these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think we could cause them more problems going forward than we give ourselves credit for. They’re a big defensive side so you’d hope we might get opportunities if we have the conviction to play the quick attacking football we saw at 0-2 vs Bolton and in the first 20 mins or so of Forest. If we lose confidence and start pumping it long they’ll mop it up all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antlers Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Over the years the amount of times i have expected us to get spanked or absolutely destroy teams and the opposite happens is unreal. never follow my tips if you are putting a wager on. Tomorrow will be 3-0 to Boro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im already at glass half empty rather than full. silly really as its only 3 games in. However, all 4 goals conceded have been from crosses and a certain dominant CB arriving tomorrow to fill his boots i think. LJ to me is back to tippy tappy tactics but more worryingly allowing full backs to defend very narrowly, hence leaving more room for the very same crosses weve conceded every goal from so far!!!! CM will be over runif we only play 2 in there too. Dont want to be negative already but with zero goal threat as such, im not overly hopeful. Pretty sad for mid-August!!!
