McGree has only played once since January, been injured.

Well, fuck them if they do. I hope our fans respond by cheering him.

We'll be laughing at the end of the game.

Generally now though the stadium is 1206 seats off full capacity including segregation etc its minor numbers and probably close to our maximum

Definitely and the TV cameras is an unfortunate fault of the stadium. I still don't get why we've given Boro 200 fewer than others. Spurs were given 3100 in that section. Certainly will be empty seats in their end.

I would be more confident if I knew players were back.

If MVE and Thomas are still out and then you add on that Dasilva is missing, that is an incredibly weakened defence.

Everyone seems to be in complete agreement that Bidwell has looked very slow and sluggish.

When you look at a possible defence of..

Collins - who is getting right old pelters

Lati - Who may not even play (he seemed to run the injury off last week, but have we heard anymore since?)

Binks and Kitching

Bidwell.

There's only Kitching that I trust in there.

I reckon it will be MVE-Thomas-Kitching-Bidwell, and I think Bidwell will up his game back to his normal standards.

I don't think there will be anyone behind them, maybe the we'll live and die in these town banner draped over the crossbar.

Bristol city game doesn’t really matter , they lose then bonus, milwalll are not beating Burnley , and Blackburn aren’t beating Sheff utd, still confident we’ll win but a point will be enough, still think getting 5th is massive

However if that happens and other results go Blackburn's way, Sheff Utd could end up playing Blackburn again in the play-offs, not a way to go into 2 games having just being beat by your opponents at home

I’d honestly rather 6th. Sunderland midweek would be a massive pain in the arse.

FAO all the leaks and specifically @Saddlebrains:

We understand you’re clearly ITK and have a strong link to someone on the inside but this isn’t the week to post out any team / injury leaks you find out that could possible give Boro any slight edge.

Lampard mentioned at the fans forum that the leaks were seen by the opposing teams regularly so for at least one week wind it in.

It isn’t needed at the best of times but certainly not this week.

Stomach churning already. Excited and nervous in equal measure. A good start and tempo will help. No need to go crazy but I hope we are not too cagey. We are much better when we play at tempo.

The final day is so batshit, it could be that Boro finding out part way through the game that even a win won't do it for them might actually be beneficial.

On one hand, we could win 3/4-0 but on the other, we concede a shit goal early and shit the bed for 89 minutes and get a last minute equaliser that gets us in

I really hope we can dig deep and get the points needed. Just worry we will concede. They are also due a win against us which is always in the back of my mind!

Hope MVE is back, be nice to have Thomas available too although I imagine he’s behind in fitness after missing a few games.

Hope so I'm picking my son up from Birmingham airport at 4.45, then straight to The Craftsman for a few beers before the game, if we are playing Friday, if it's Thursday then he's f*cked as he'll still be abroad
