Middlesboro are the lowest scorers in the top 10 but have also conceded the least goals as well.

Given our injuries I don’t think a low scoring draw would be a bad result.

Four points from the next 2 games wouldn't be a disaster at all..no mention of Gregory at the presser.

Another war of attrition?
They aren't that good hence why they are below us in the table.
It'll be close, I'm going for a draw with all our injuries.

Introducing The Grim Reaper! He talks sense. We will have to be best form to beat them tomorrow. Draw at best I think.

So with no Mikel still I would envisage McClean for Vokes tomorrow being the only change with Campbell moving up top......

This thread is linked to the Boro MB and they are enjoying our negativity.
I've a feeling it is one of those matches where one team gets a goal and then retreats behind the barricade to hold onto their lead.
Boro will not score many, but they are going to be very tough to score against. They have Whatmore, we have Campbell. I think the result will depend on how Powell and Clucas perform.

I hate Warnock. As far as I have ever been able to work out, his approach to football is to get his teams to practically cheat, kick lumps out of the opposition, complain like hell about every decision, dive and feign injury at the slightest chance, provoke opposition players and time-waste. Every game against him is a fucking pantomime. He even looks like Widow Twanky. Yes. Must admit his fizzog has always fascinated me. Not sure what it is but it's fookin strange and creepy.

FFS lads its Middlesbrough. 3 points easily achieved with the right application and attitude. This league is so beige, get our own act together and theres absolutely nothing to be worried about. Trouble is 20 odd other teams think the same. I love the competition, beats trying to finish above 18th in the Prem.

A tough game but still winnable. We have depth, despite having quite a few players unavailable. From: Lonergan. Batth, Shawcross, Collins, Fox, Smith, Cousins, OaKley Booth, Campbell, Brown, Verlinden. Subs: McClean, Clucas, Powell, Chester, Bursik, Tymon.

I reckon Bursik starts again after two clean sheets on the bounce.

Smith - Batth - Collins - Fox
Ince - Clucas - Cousins - McClayn
Campbell - Vokes
Subs: Lonergan, Chester, Tymon, Verlinden, OakleyB, Brown, Powell
I felt it was hard to tell who's available?!

We have to to go out and believe that teams like this are not an issue. They were hanging on for dear life in a couple of games they have got the lead in so its important we take our chances just like against brentford. Hope fletcher is back so that vokes can be moved away from the squad,brings zero creativity and falls over more than a granny on an icy path.
With Mike missing think we need clucas and cousins to be tight in midfield. McLean and brown on the wings Bursik Collins baath fox Brown cousins clucas McLean Powell Fletcher campbell

We have enough to get a result, Warnok is right we have a huge squad and should be able to put two teams out when all are fit. I think we take for granted the size of our squad.

We need to score twice to win and that will be difficult, but achievable if we take our chances.
Need McClean playing, he creates more chances than any other player (I know he wastes more as well!) Powell and Clucas are creating very little this season and need to buck their ideas up.
Boro are low scorers but are dangerous towards the end of each half. They play cautiously for 30 minutes then go for a goal. 6 of their 16 goals scored this season have been in the last 10 minutes of the match. 3 in the last third of the first half.
Hope MO'N gives Verlinden some time.

Good old Warnock.
I’ve been brought up to dislike him.
My dad and him played together at Scunthorpe.
He always talks about a reserve game where my dad beat a couple of men, rounded the keeper, slipped, was about to get up and score when Warnock pops up out of no where and scores, celebrates like he’s won the fa cup, with no acknowledgement for the assist.
He was an arse back then as he is now.
In terms of today’s game, think the injuries are one too many, 0 1 defeat.
