4-0 Boro we are just not good enough to cope with there pace and movement and a team that will attack at will.The Boro curse will finally be over.

RoysterE17 · 2026-02-10T06:09:28+0000

Feel the fans need to still believe this achievable.... hope the players show some fight that they won't just whimper out of this. A few big performances will be needed. Will be fully on lamps selection and tactics that he decides to go with. Monday will be massive for us

Ok - everyone saying Frank "the tank" will sort us out.

Why!? What is saying that he will!?

Why do we assume all of our signings are the second coming of Pele.

People were jizzing themselves hearing we'd signed Brau. He's shit

People saying KKH was an upgrade on MVE because he won a few awards at Preston - yes Preston who were nearly relegated!

He could be a liability and just not fit how we play (what even is that at the moment!?)

Big big big gamble to throw him in now in Monday...

While I agree with every word I'm still pinning my hopes on Onyeka, I've got nothing else!

Ashdown · 2026-02-10T06:31:07+0000

Not too downbeat about this game. It’s Cov City and years of experience tell me that this is the sort of game they could excel in. It feels like to me that in the previous few weeks we looked like the teams of old under pressure not to go down to yet another cup shock!
Boots on the other foot and with us almost feeling underdogs again the CBS will be rocking !

shmmeee · 2026-02-10T06:36:48+0000

Cuckentry 0 - 2 Boro

Esse to do some flicks in his own half and lose the ball. Red card to someone for losing their shit needlessly. Us to string three passes together once all game. Lampard to refuse to clap the fans at the end cos he’s been on this game a long time and we need to appreciate like to like subs on the 75th min.

RoboCCFC90 · 2026-02-10T06:38:06+0000

Rushworth
MVE
JDS
Kitching
Lati
Tank Onyeka
Grimes
Rudi
EMC (if fit)
Saka
Simms

Otis · 2026-02-10T06:44:00+0000

Tank in and EMC back...

2-1 to the City.

I'm going for a 10-0 Boro win.

Seems loads of the fans have already thrown in the towel and given up.

Hopefully the players are made of sterner stuff.

Tommo1993 · 2026-02-10T06:55:14+0000

Boro win. People on here will condemn the performance and result. Then the other people who insist we’ll win because we always beat Boro and we’re so brilliant at home apparently, will have a go at those who are unhappy with the result.

We are brilliant at home.

1 defeat all season.

Personally, I haven't used the "we always beat Boro" line. That's irrelevant to me. I am only basing on our home form this season, which has been excellent.

There's no "apparently" about it.

11 wins, 3 draws, 1 defeat. That is indeed pretty brilliant

Biggest match of the season under the lights.

Head over heart on this one but would be typical of us to win here after our form

Literally every fan of every club says stuff like this!

Given the capitulation of the last few months I'd say that's a forlorn hope.

It's not this game that concerns me, it's some of the away games we have coming up. Even bloody Swansea are suddenly finding form.

Despite what people on here think, our home form won't be enough.

Bugsy · 2026-02-10T07:21:56+0000

We need balls of steel for this.
Up for it from the off, get fucking into them firm but fair, all players need to stand up tall, fans loud and passionate.

We can still do this, it's not over by any stretch.

....PUSB

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-02-10T07:34:52+0000

Has to be unleashed next Monday. Will give us the battle, energy and fight.

Viktor17 · 2026-02-10T07:36:39+0000

I’d be tempted to go 343 -
Thomas Wolf kitching
MVE tank grimes jds
Tats wright EMC

onyeka has to start.

Sick Boy · 2026-02-10T07:37:42+0000

Tense 2-1 win and a break from the catastrophising.

SIR ERNIE · 2026-02-10T07:48:48+0000

Boro will come and play, they're full of confidence. That'll suit us more than a low block.
Could easily be a classic.
2-2, Simms to come on as sub and gets a late winner. 3-2.

We could be 11 points clear of Ipswich before they play again

skybluelee · 2026-02-10T07:50:58+0000

In many ways this is the perfect game. A win could be the catalyst to get the season back on track with the added benefit of putting a dent in Middlesbrough's. Our home record is exceptional and we have to believe.

Rushworth
MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva
Grimes, Onyeka
Sakamoto, Rudoni, EMC
Wright

Tommo1993 · 2026-02-10T07:57:22+0000

‘Boro will stall at some point’

Doesn’t mean we’ll find good enough form to combat it.

TomRad85 · 2026-02-10T08:11:35+0000

Another win against the Boro. Come on City!

Pezza · 2026-02-10T08:15:44+0000

That is 6 on the bounce for Boro but they won't win every week. However I keep saying it, they are long overdue a win against us.

I'll commit to this, if we do win AND PLAY WELL, then I will put on a positive hat between now and the end of the season.

If we continue as we have been and we lose then I think I will struggle to find any positives. The "entitled" tag and "you'd have taken this at the beginning of the season" don't fly anymore for me.

I genuinely wish we didn't see this coming but we all did, because we are Cov.

Boro win this one convincingly 2-0. We won't score.

stupot07 · 2026-02-10T08:17:55+0000

Rushworth
MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva
Torp, Onyeka
Sakamoto, Rudoni, Wright
Simms

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-02-10T08:25:14+0000

Boro showed they’re vulnerable at the back when under pressure. If SU kept 11 yesterday they would have got a draw.

Looked vulnerable when I watched them play Stoke.

Got to be aggressive against them and put them under pressure. If we stand off like we did against Ipswich they will play around us

Hajistoe · 2026-02-10T08:32:59+0000

Time to mix it up I think

-----------------Rushworth
Bobby ---------Wolfe/Lati------- Kitchen
MVE ------Oneyka --- Grimes ------JDS
--------Rudoni --------- Eccles/Torp (More narrow)
-------------------Wright-----------------

Back to the box, be tight first 60 minutes and release the wingers second half. Got to try something new!

Right I’m changing my attitude. I’ve been through the change curve and hit bottom. Time to get out of this rut

We’ve got nothing to lose now. The players have to really want this. The management have to want this. The fans have to want this.

We’re still in the auto slots and it’s in our hands.

Only way we’re going to get a result against Boro is if we are all in the fight together. Players have to show the passion from minute one and they will be backed by the SBA!

It’s time for Frank to unleash the Tank. Bring EMC back in and just fucking go for it.

Wow Mr Jeckle or Hyde?

I agree.

I have been saying for some time that we have to pick up points away.

Otherwise we are going nowhere.

Definitely

There is no way they are going to sit back like Oxford. Will definitely suit us more.

This team 100%!!!!

We will win 3 or 4 nil.

Cmon back at the CBS.

Back to basics!. Do the ugly things well for a change.

Sheff Utd had a number of very good chances and could have easily got something out of that game

Boicey · 2026-02-10T08:50:21+0000

If we are honest the last 4 or 5 home games haven't been great either. The quality of play has significantjy dropped home and away for a few months.
There's an awful lot on the Tank because you don't see many battlers or leaders in this team. Saka and Rudi a bit.
Wright needs to show something very soon else we have to persist with Simms until the end of the season. We can't afford a sulky morale drainer in the team.
