Bristol City have a striker crisis with Steve Brooker doubtful and Phil Jevons out with an ankle problem and on-loan striker Wayne Andrews cup-tied.

Jennison Myrie-Williams is likely to partner Enoch Showunmi up front, while Jamie McCombe is suspended and Brian Wilson is also cup-tied.

Middlesbrough (from): Schwarzer, Xavier, Woodgate, Pogatetz, Taylor, Cattermole, Arca, Morrison, Downing, Yakubu, Viduka, Jones, Davies, Hines, Euell, Johnson, Christie

I am somewhat worried after reading that. With all our players fit and not cup tied, we would have a fantastic chance....taking the above into account I'm not so sure.

COME ON CITY!

1-0 down already

Basso error

Have to say thats Ironic, just on the back of tons of people here saying how excellent he is.

I thought that it came off of a crap cross pass from Carey, that didn't reach Orr, thus allowing a shot by Stewart Downing, left-footed from left channel (20 yards), that was parried by Adriano Basso. The goal by Aiyegbeni Yakubu was picked up, from that parry, a right-footed shot (top-left of goal) from centre of penalty area.

Maybe Basso should of tried to "catch" the original shot from Yakubu, or maybe Carey should of tried to pass the ball "forward" to another City player, and NOT across the park!.

2-0 down now. Ive got a feeling there will be no exciting game here.

As long as we don't get stuffed 0-5....

And that none of our players get injured..

I would rather have a day out at Cardiff for the JPT Final.....

And "automatic" promotion!!.

I'm watching the game and with only playing 1 up front we are playing into boro's hands, fontaine having a mare, need to bring JMW on move JM into left back and take Fontaine off, go back to our winning 4-4-2.

Come on you redzz

Nah fontaine's been OK... Everyone is struggling out there- you can see the difference in class between M'Boro and someone like Tranny

Poor 'ole Enoch must be wondering what he has done wrong, playing "alone" up front.

If playing a "lone" striker up front was GJ's way of having "damage-limitation", then it hasn't worked.

Let's just improve the left hand side at half-time, and let the players "enjoy" the res of the game.

The "league" is more important IMHO.

:yawn:

Agreed we need to get someone else up there- Showumni's trying his hardest but a lone striker would struggle against Notts Forest, let alone Middlesborogh :chant6ez:

Showumni booked for remistrating with the Linesman!!.

Poll the Ponce strikes again!!.

Been bloody unlucky with regard to the "offside's" in the first half!!.

Wonder if Xavier will be asked to provide a "sample" at Half-time??.

:whistle2:

We're looking decent going forward, without causing Schwarzer to do too much. Enoch on the wrong end of some dodgy offside calls.

Defence looks shaky, didn't see the build-up to the 1st goal, but what was Fontaine doing on the 2nd ??

Get JMW on, and if we can sneak an early goal, then you never know what could happen.
