Can’t remember the last time I felt more pessimistic about a home game. I don’t think Boro will even have to break sweat to beat us. 2 or 3 nil to them.
People also said Bristol City are the ones to watch out for, when they had their little storm up the table. Then it was Watford. "Watford will make the top 2." Then it was HullPeople said Boro wouldn't be good enough to catch us and it was unthinkable.
Your post doesn't match your username.Can’t remember the last time I felt more pessimistic about a home game. I don’t think Boro will even have to break sweat to beat us. 2 or 3 nil to them.
I genuinely think this is going be the turning point in our form. Think we will win and go on another run.
Brau hasn't played a lot of games in the Prem league. He isn't called "The tank" He doesn't play defensive midfield.
We'll find out next Monday. I don't think he'll turn out like Deegan.. perhaps you do?This post has reminded me of Gary “the pitbull” Deegan
As I said to my wife last night, this is going to take more than fingersYour post doesn't match your username.

I've watched him on YouTube. Think he'll be good for us. We'll find out next Monday, assuming Frank hasn't signed him to sit on the bench, like a lot of others, this season.No just not sure a player having a nickname says much about their ability.
surely they've got to be absolute buzzing for this game, theyd all want to beat boro and beat them well.
need to go back to our pre christmas ways, we know we can play like it, just need to start turning the lock again
for me were switching the side around too much, back the lads, keep players in their positions and push on
When were people overly excited about signing Brau?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...
I have a fair few on ignore who take pleasure in being pure mood hoovers. Once youve done that the forum is far more tolerableIt’s all going to be fine. I do think I’m going to come off here for a couple of weeks… it’s depressing

He sounds just like the sort of experienced player we need to add to the dressing room.
Good point. He surely will start.Don't forget! Mboro coaching staff have not seen Frank the Tank play for city yet and will not know how we play him. It will take them at least 15/20 mins to counteract him so we got to score early
That's because IF we lose, that would be the PERFECT recipe for a toxic fanbase, particularly Cov. Build us up, getting so so so close and then let us down in the most cruel way.Atmosphere and reaction will be absolutely toxic if we lose...
We haven't seen him either as for some reason he never got any minutes on Saturday whether he is a holding midfielder or not he should of got some minutes given he's a premier league player.Don't forget!

He had a chance to look at Onyeka on Saturday.
He didn't.
Think he'd have to change the midfield up a bit to accommodate him - not as simple as just chucking him in with Grimes in the biggest game of our season. That is why it is a risk.
Will he take it...who. Knows.
And people absolutely were thinking Brau was an upgrade on Dasilva without even seeing him play.
The Stoke game was particularly infuriating as the only man paying any attention to the game that could not see the player sent off was a walking second yellow was Mark RobinsStrangely three of their last four wins have come against ten men. Five of their wins this season have in total.
If you offered me a point I would probably take it to be honest if it came with an encouraging performance and we more than played our partClinging to the fact that The CBS seems to be to them what Deepdale is to us, last time they beat us at Highfield Rd/CBS was at the start of the Premier League relegation season - Although they did beat us at St Ands. in our first Championship season
Then the pessimist in me thinks they are due a win in a big game against us
Look, we had a very good run in October/November and Ipswich away seemed to be one game too far for us, got to hope that the same happens to them with this game
Not writing off our chances at home by any means, the draw is the much better result for them though - I really feel like we need to win this one
I'm thinking that as well. Frank's pretty much gone with Kitch & Thomas 1st choice since he's been here. Lati has done really well, but he's always vunerable, playing CB in a back 4. Woolf looks a bit slow in thought & tentative to me. Not had the game time to blend in. Both were barely tested on Saturday. I think he goes back to Kitch & Thomas for Boro.I also think dropping Thomas and Kitch was a wake up call to them by Frank to get back at it. They would have a had a 2 week break before the Boro game to rest as well.
He scored most of his goals after he did his shoulder last season I think so not sure the shoulder is the problem. More just poor formI can't see him rediscovering that form this season
He is so clearly playing through a pain barrier with his shoulder, wouldn't surprise me if he actually needs surgery on it and the club did not want to risk losing him for as long as they would have done when he suffered the injury
I think we sacrificed the right for a point to be an okay result in this game when we failed to beat 23rd place in the League at homeIf you offered me a point I would probably take it to be honest if it came with an encouraging performance and we more than played our part
we can’t lose but I’d be more than content with a point and a good performance for 90 minutes
Sheffield United after we sacked Robins and they ended up surprising me that dayCan’t remember the last time I felt more pessimistic about a home game. I don’t think Boro will even have to break sweat to beat us. 2 or 3 nil to them.
Yep 2-0 boroCan’t remember the last time I felt more pessimistic about a home game. I don’t think Boro will even have to break sweat to beat us. 2 or 3 nil to them.
Agree with those points mateI think we sacrificed the right for a point to be an okay result in this game when we failed to beat 23rd place in the League at home
Psychologically I think a win is the only result that is acceptable
If they can come here unscathed and still top of the League what a leg up that will give them going into two games at home against sides in and around the relegation zone, it will give Ipswich a leg up knowing that they are winning their two games in hand from going level on or on more points with us
As for us, a win would do the side a world of good and would lay a marker down to the rest that we are still in this hunt - If we win this I think we go to West Brom the following Saturday and turn them over convincingly
This for me too.If you offered me a point I would probably take it to be honest if it came with an encouraging performance and we more than played our part
we can’t lose but I’d be more than content with a point and a good performance for 90 minutes
And rightly so.Atmosphere and reaction will be absolutely toxic if we lose...
