Middlesborough Pre Match Comments.....

Merry Christmas everybody and welcome to the Boxing Day clash

After this season's most impressive display, Boro will face another tuff challenge, when in form Forest visit The Riverside. This looks like it could be a real feast for the spectators, as both teams want to play ball and both teams are doing very well since getting better managers.


Questions from all of us to all of you:

1: Unchanged team?
2: Will Taylor get even better?
3: Do you think both teams are happier without Britt Assombalonga?
4: Is it time to finally unleash Payero? Maybe as a second half sub?
5: Will our team learn how to pass the ball to Sporar, when he makes those marvelous in between moves?
6: Is Payero the answer to question 5?
8: Did you notice we skipped question 7?
9: What's for dinner on Christmas eve?
10: Win, draw or lose?
11: Will we recall Djed Spence come January? Would he be perfect in a Wilder team?

With more games are called off the real question is, will the game actually go ahead.
I hope it does as I hope we win because, what’s Boxing Day without a game.

Looks like this is set to be our biggest crowd for many a year with a near sold out away end should be a cracking game and atmosphere as two sides battle it out for 5th place. I'm hoping the loss of Spence will impact forest as they seem to play similar formation to us but without Djed will be vulnerable to pace. Come on boro let's battle for what will be a massive win

1: Unchanged team?

If it is possible then I think we will be unchanged.

2: Will Taylor get even better?

I think he has reached his peak but is a good fit for us through until the end of the season


3: Do you think both teams are happier without Britt Assombalonga?

Probably not. Both teams have struggled to replace his goals.


4: Is it time to finally unleash Payero? Maybe as a second half sub?

I wouldn’t change a winning team so no not yet.


5: Will our team learn how to pass the ball to Sporar, when he makes those marvelous in between moves?

eventually they will read him just in time for him to go back to Portugal with 7 goals under his belt


6: Is Payero the answer to question 5?

don’t think we have seen enough of him to know.


8: Did you notice we skipped question 7?

I didn’t


9: What's for dinner on Christmas eve?

cheese board and port

10: Win, draw or lose?

win

11: Will we recall Djed Spence come January? Would he be perfect in a Wilder team?

8: Did you notice we skipped question 7?

So tempted to change the header title back to Boro but as you had a win last time out am feeling Xmasy so going to leave as is!

Massive game and a good Boxing Day fixture for the fans.

Time to reverse the away game result, kidnap Spence and lock him away in the store room until January. Thankfully he will not be able to spill the beans as he has not worked under Wilder..............yet!

Kick on with a win and certainly Boro fans have every reaon to be cheerful................part three!

To all of you going have a great and happy day!

Big big game if we have play off aspirations. A  tough game and a true play off six pointer. Would keep the same team give or take injuries.

I wouldn’t drop Tav just yet. He’s still doing a very good job for us off the ball. I’m hoping a goal will give him the confidence he needs to relax a little bit more when he’s in possession.

Marc Bola sounds like he's out for awhile, could be out for 6-8 weeks

Aye, posted in the transfer thread but Taylor is to sign a new contract until the end of the season so he'll definitely be starting on Boxing Day.

Thanks Joe.

It's nice to see the Boro Forum is giving us the credit we deserve, even if they think they will win!
