Judging by the comments of others, Middlesbrough is one of the last places to be if you are feeling suicidal. We can only hope that if they are suicidal they adopt a kamikaze type suicidal attitude.

That's what I thought before the same line-up kicked off against Birmingham. However, Bryan played right back in a back four, with Reid on the left side of midfield and Brownhill on the right. Despite our height advantage up top we rarely played with any true width, failing to get behind the Brum' defence and were wide open on the counter. What we didn't lack was total commitment and clinical finishing at key times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Their defence will struggle with Fam and Milan and as long as we put plenty of quality balls into the box and cause chaos then the line up should be produce at least a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can dump it long from defence like against Brum but we will win top 50 percent of the headers leading to absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City looked open at the back on Tuesday with this line up and only some poor finishing by Birmingham prevented a different result. I can’t see Middlesbrough being so generous but, with luck, LJ is a genius and he’ll prove me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Long ball to Famara or Djuric, headpass to another player and then goal. We did it vs Brum, Reid, lets do the same trick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot argue with any of that. Difficult for anyone to watch the game mid week and not believe we got away with a great deal, yet here we are. Would have at least left Djuric on the bench to chase it late on if we needed to. Having said that, I was happy with the starting line up v Millwall, so what do I know.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I always find it amusing when posters say " I hope I'm proved wrong but...." Invariably, they don't remotely want to be proved wrong and rarely, if ever, express delight if they are. People love to be proved right not wrong. The line up today is , imo, an attempt to attack and win the game by scoring more goals than them. I do so hope I'm proved right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Robin Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Tbh the team announced is never really an indication of how we are going to perform. Throughout this season teams which everyone have gushed over have played dreadful and teams which everyone has written off have been superb..... I've given up trying to call it!
