CSVR Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Soory I have to disagree, this is a chance to watch a premiership team play @ the Gate, I want all their players to play if fit.The real test for our players is if they can match Boro's quality.

If Viduka doesnt play thats good news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But viduka is arguably their best striker, and since we're missing a few strikers it evens it out abit on the injury/suspended perspective (I believe boateng is suspended for the game aswell?)

Lordofthebling Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 But we are without some would argue our first choice centre back. Surely it would make it more fair for them to be a striker down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get through to the next round and if they have any of there better players out i feel we have more chance. Will be interesting to see what side they have out tomorrow because they are away to Pompey on tuesday and that is probably the bigger game of the two for them. They would rather stay in the Money league than win the FA cup because its worth more to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Viduka is lazy, remember when we played Leeds in the pre-season friendly a few years back?I know it was only a friendly, but Alan Smith must have ran miles upon miles because Viduka just stayed in the middle, and did bugger all. And that is pretty much all he does now when you watch him on sky / match of the day etc. Yakubu is the real danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 "Viduka is lazy" - we were there that day - he wasn't in the slightest bit interested despite Leeds bring 1000+ fans - really went off him after that, obviously wanted out of the club!

BS10 RED Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 If he don't play thats great news for us imo.Its just without mccombe i don't think our defence could handle viduka and Yakubu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
