They are inconsistent themselves. I'd take a draw

Tale a point all day long.
Same team that finished Saturday?
Can Torp last 90 minutes?
Can Rudoni defend?

They're probably due a win against us, they've only won 1 in 8 (and I'm sure we played really well that day).

A win would confirm the run has started. A draw would be decent if followed up with a Derby win.

A draw would be great. Keep the run going.

I was confident we would beat Luton. Not quite feeling it about Middlesbrough.

A win would be absolutely fabulous.

A draw would be a good result, keep our unbeaten run going then aim for 3 points against Derby (not underestimating them but they are strong at home, not so much away).

Hopefully the win against Luton will convince a few more to go even though trains are f*cked.

I fancy us to narrowly lose 2-1

draw would be great

Important for performance level to remain the same before the aim to pick up 3 points against derby

Hoping the comeback on Saturday is somewhat of a catalyst in growing belief amongst the squad. Think Robins will go:

Dovin
Latibeaudiere Thomas Binks
MVE Eccles Sheaf Dasilva
Rudoni
Simms Wright

Hoping to see Rudoni at LWB and Torp Infront of Sheaf & Eccles . Same formation as Luton. We have to find out if this is a viable option for future games. It carries some risk but could be the solution MR has been looking for.

I think if we lose this we mustn't all go crazy and start saying it was a false dawn and that Robins must go! A win up there would be amazing but a draw or a narrow defeat where we play well is not a disaster. Turnarounds take time, if we lose there and win the next game we can still call it a decent run of results...

Yeah, it's the level of performance as much as anything else. If we play well and lose, it still may point to better days ahead.

Keep playing well, you are going to win more matches than you lose.

Can we blame a defeat on Doug king afterwards?

Must not lose game - to carry the momentum into Derby
4 points from the next 2 and we can begin to look upwards
6 points from the next 2 and the table looks very different

a Massive week

The Norwich game ended 3-3 and Boro' had a similar story to our own game with Luton. Boro' went ahead against much of the play and then found themselves 2 up with a bitof fortune. Norwich played them off the par second half but ultimately ending 3-3. So not as convinced by Boro' entirely and we seem to play well on their pitch. It's an interesting one. IF we can replicate our performance against Luton with the defensive errors then we could come away with a win. On paper it's looks like a draw all day with slight favourites for a home win. It will all depend on us delivering another good performance. I hope we sneak it, but either way it will be a tight game.

Would expect the same team to start this one. Might be questions on Jacks defensive attributes but we’ll see.

Great to have some optimism going into a game. Difficult game so happy if we don’t pick anything up as long as we put in another shift.

Performance is critical, although a win would be great.

2-1 to us, or a 1-1 draw. PUSB 🩵

It would feel like it, but people have described many games as 'must win' this season and then we've lost and we are still here. If we lose the next 2 we will be feeling shit again going into some very tough games.

Going to be a difficult game. Hopefully MR still has Carrick's number, Gareth Ainsworth style.

Heart says 2-0 City, head says 1-1, and I think either result would be decent, to be honest.

Thats what I’m aiming for - we need to be beating Derby. Middlesbrough will be a tough game. Although our record is good against them

I suspect Robins would prefer a defender of some sort at left wing back when we are away to a strong team - maybe even Kitching again.
The change against Luton was in part driven by his booking and the score line at half time. I would love him to give Rudoni another go but suspect he won't. Torp has earned the start, but it seems harsh on Tats, who I thought was back to near his best before being subbed.
