Middlesborough v Forest
Pre Match Comments...
Team News / Injury Update:
Manager - A lot is being said that Woody is playing out his last few days as Middlesbrough manager. Could a not too horrendous display against Leeds and a win against Forest actually salvage his job - Majority of fans hope not! Crowd watch on the West Stand for any noticeable 'defensive' figures.
Tav - Outcry to put Tavernier back into the starting team from fans following the last 3 games didn't amount too much against Leeds, as he didn't put in the best of displays on the night - A subject up for debate
Friend - George looks injured following the Leeds game, a player we certainly respect but believe he shouldn't be getting a start so probably for the best.
Fletcher - Another player who will now likely be injured for this fixture. This will see a few changes hopefully for the better against Forest.
Roberts Update - Looking like end of March for his return which can't come soon enough
Ayala - Returning soon with us expected to see him probably for the next vital Boro home game against Swansea on 14th March.
Questions:
1) Prediction?
2) Do you see a draw as any point is good at the minute, or a win a must due to the current standings
3) Expecting Britt to start, can he actually have a decent game for once against his former team?
4) Putting aside our circumstance, if Leeds & Forest are promoted, will you actually be more or less interested in PL next season? I.e. watching occasions with these teams rather than teams we are less inclined about such as Watford, Bournemouth, Southampton etc. (Hope that makes sense)
Great post.. totally pointless though. I don't even know what Boro are these days. Sorry to be the prophet of doom.
Only prediction is a loss. Impossible to predict team or tactic.
Just watched Woodgate pre match interview for this game and my word it's totally delusion. No other club owner in England would be tolerating this why if Gibson claims he is the best chairman in England allowing it to happen. If we are relagated it's as much of Gibson fault as Woodgate as he has given a guy the job who has no clue how to be a football manager.
Easy 3 points.
I'll tell you for who on Tuesday.
Friend is a liability now, great servant, but no new contract, let's be professional and not simply offer one for 'old times sake'
Let's get back to playing the young lads it can't be any worse, it's gone horribly wrong since the so called experienced players have come back.
Does Woodhead have the strength to play these lads again?
I think not
Nice thread FB! Well done for managing to stay at least somewhat optimistic in the face of overwhelming odds.
Questions
1) Prediction?
Similar to the Leeds game, I'm thinking. Forest will probably be below their best, but still considerably better than us. Their recent form has been a bit iffy, so it'll be a narrow win for them:
Boro 0 - 1 Forest
2) Do you see a draw as any point is good at the minute, or a win a must due to the current standings
Survival-wise, only wins are going to really help us. But a point might help restore some morale & confidence.
3) Expecting Britt to start, can he actually have a decent game for once against his former team?
I wouldn't even have Britt on the bench, precisely because this is Forest. But if he does start, I fully expect him to be completely anonymous and subbed after 60 minutes or so.
4) Putting aside our circumstance, if Leeds & Forest are promoted, will you actually be more or less interested in PL next season? I.e. watching occasions with these teams rather than teams we are less inclined about such as Watford, Bournemouth, Southampton etc. (Hope that makes sense)
My interest in the PL will remain exactly the same. Been following Spurs, Liverpool and Man Utd's results and catching highlights on MOTD. Won't change much, unless the title race is more interesting next season.
Forest can't break down teams who sit back and let Forest attack.
It's happened to them so many times this season and that's how we should aim to play, on the counter attack.
Maybe we'll somehow fluke a draw or a win cause Forest have been a bit of a charity to *** teams this season.
But let's be honest, we've got Woodgate in charge so it'll most likely be a 1-0 loss.
