Be aware that Boro would have seen the manner of Blackburn's two goals against us. Bonham is a worry. Maybe, just maybe, AN is brave enough to replace Bonham with Blondy. We have the better midfielders. Stay sharp, be cool and we will win comfortably. Bonham has conceded 18 in 15 games, Blondy has conceded 15 in 13 games. The difference is one of them was in the national league.

I can't see us not scoring, which is a strange enough feeling in itself.
So with us unable to keep clean sheets then I will call it a 2-2.
Lump on and thank me later.

I'd snap your hand off for a draw. Three wins on the bounce, having only just managed back-to-back wins this season, is too much of a stretch for my fragile optimism. Boro won't be taking us as lightly as Sunderland & Blackburn did. 1-1.

It's a pity that we are likely to be going through the season with a second or third choice goalkeeper. There is an evident lack of enthusiasm for Bonham amongst the fans, and I am sure that the low level of confidence in his form translates to the rest of the team. The players, instead of going forward confidently are always looking back over their shoulders at the goalkeeper with doubts in their mind.

Team picks itself tonight, just expect 1 of Jags/Wilmot in for Axel.
Heart says we've finally cracked it, We'll be the 1st Team since 5th November take a point from their place with a 1-1 draw
Head says this is Stoke, we've had so many false dawns and a late break away goal will seal a 2-0 loss.

Just wondering where to park I've driven I've been here since 09:00 this morning as I'm working in the area. I'll be leaving my car at the Premier Inn but normally I get off the A66 and go down Marton Road past the Pizza Hut and there's a right turning where there's free street parking (you have to be there pretty early to get a space though). From there it's a steady 15 minute walk to the ground under the subway and over the railway to the ground, you'll be back on the A66 in no time after the game........

So it's let's all pick on Bonham time. It's like a school yard pile on. The reality is poor central defense from Jags and Fox the last few matches letting folks wander 50 yards on goal untouched but Bonham is the worry...

Cheers for that. We are working in Bradford today so we are setting off around 5 so hopefully get there before 7 but will try park there as sounds like it’ll be good to get away from 👍

Unless Tuanzebe is fit why wouldn't we play him? I know folk have said we're taking it easy with him but he's not ours for long. Jags and Willmott in front of Bonham doesn't get the pulse racing. Their Villa loanees are doing well, as is Akpom of course.

The difference is one of them was in the national league. My worry from the Blackburn goals was Brereton-Diaz making Hoever then Fox look like bollards. Completely outwitted them in the movement and jump. Hopefully the lads are tuned in tonight, I'm hoping for some entertainment at least.

Unless he's massively improved be surprised if Blondey has a league career think Prudhoe, spectacular reflex saves with nonsensical keeping otherwise

Just wondering where to park Hopefully you are already there by now, but if you can't get in where Prestwich recommends, previously I've come off the A66 just past the retail park at the roundabout with the sculpture on, turned left onto Works Road and then onto Dockside Road towards the ground. There is a massive storage / shipping depot there for steel pipes, and they used to do matchday parking between the piles of pipes for £5/£6. Only 5 mins to ground from there, passing a couple of catering vans on the way.

Like the first eleven but the bench continues to look weaker by the game. Any injuries to the better players and we’ll be struggling again.
The front three will have to do another 90 mins you’d think, which is an ask after the exertions of the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully AN has something up his sleeve.
