Meaningless to run a game and do fuck all with it though. Without doubt their arse is as twitchy as ours going into the second leg level.

Of course, I hope you're right. It's all to play for still. One win away and we're in the final.

My worry is what can we do differently? Godden was non existent today, and they marked gyokeres well. Hamer had a great game but spent a lot of it putting in decisive tackles. Lack of options off the bench hurts us. We were never favourites going into this game, I just hope we go into this away game with nothing to fear. Who knows what will happen but the odds are against us now.

We are more than capable of beating a team that finished 5 points and 1 place above us away from home.

We can do quite a bit differently.

Play Allen for Godden and Vik up top by himself? Would allow us to press more in the midfield and get runners getting forward and breaking from midfield.

Play Sheaf for Eccles or Kelly and play both Sheaf and Gus as box to box midfielders with Kelly or Eccles protecting the back 3?

Is he confirmed injured? I know he struggled after that tackle but haven't seen anything about him being out.

Be surprised if Hamer doesn't start on Wednesday, even if he is carrying a knock.

One thing I noticed is that it looks like there is a real opportunity for Norton Cuffy to hurt Middlesborough and Giles down our right hand side. I think he showed promises of that today but if he can get to the byline more often and cut it back for Gyokeres or someone else in the box, then it could cause them problems.

disappointed with the performance but happy with the result. I’d drop godden and Eccles and bring in sheaf and allen

Carrick will have a few players back from injury he didn’t have this week, we might have Allen ready to start, maybe Sheaf too.

I would play a box midfield to be honest. The two up front today were feeding off scraps and when they did get the ball there wasn’t much support.

To manage expectations and rationalise disappointment. From 72 teams in 3 leagues only 10 will be promoted. So if we miss out we will be 1 of 62 in the same boat

Yep, Giles as we know is pretty bad at defending

If his injury was that bad he wouldn’t have continued on.

Not me, but the payments from being in the Premier League and subsequent parachute payments on relegation would be transformational for City, provided we have good heads at the helm and in charge of the team.

Not really. It's more the fear of the summer when we lose Vik and probably Hamer while also have a big clear out.

We’re past that for me. If we beat Boro then we’re well past what I thought we’d achieve sneaking in a year early IMO. Even if we get hammered up there it’s a massively successful season.

Totally get that. Don’t want this era to end. But equally exciting to see what we can do from the proceeds of some of the best players we’ve had for decades.
