Boro v stoke tonight

[Bath Blade]

I love a bit of reverse psychology

 

[Greenblades]

Right then Blades …. Win !!! I will be there and I will be singing…. Don’t let us down… go for it Hecky !!!!

 

[Flatcap]

If that was us playing Stoke, they'd have buried at least three of those chances. Lucky escape for Boro there but gives us an opportunity to make it a 6 point gap.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Stoke take a point back with them. 1 1 the final score. Its Preston's turn on Saturday to try and get at least a draw @ the Riverside

Preston have won tonight as well at rovrum

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Stoke’s away kit looks like ours if someone was pissed when drawing it;

 

[vas borbokis]

Two tough teams there. If we didn't know already, we have our work cut out!

 

[BladesOnToast]

Turning point in our decline!!!!!!!!

 

[Nightsweats]

IF we can win tomorrow it would be a fantastic step forward.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Well played our red and white striped cousins …you played against the ref too

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Impressed with Stoke as the away side. Always looking to move the ball forward with pace and good movement, as if they wanted more than just a decent away point. Something we have struggled to do quite a bit this season.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Smallbone, Pearson, Laurent is a decent midfield 3 for Stoke

They do a lot of running and going forward though. Anyone think that will catch on at BL?

 

[vas borbokis]

Their number 20 was like lightning tracking back when Boro broke a few times got back and won the ball. Just the sort we lack and badly need.

 

[Hamandcheese]

Stoke will do well next season with Alex Neil and a decent budget, especially if they get that midfield together again

 

[originaltrueblade]

That’s tucked fallowfields predictions

Agree....Boro were OK.....but Stoke were definitely the better team on the night. Very impressive away display.

Will be interesting to see if this effects the Boro players...Stoke made them look so average.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Smallbone looks a decent player. Fancy Stoke next year, building a good squad.

 

[Hamandcheese]

They had pace everywhere. Full backs, wide fwds, CM..... it helped them win the races and duels all over the pitch and had Boro rattled

 

[Keen Blade]

Right Hecky lad this is your chance to pick the right team and gee them up - do NOT go for a point , go for a win - try to pick a younger midfield

 

[Sean Thornton]

Well played our red and white striped cousins …you played against the ref too

He calmed down a bit after 25 minutes or so. Probably spotted Mark Halsey in the crowd and thought better of it. Be in L2 if PGMOL’s acca is down.

 

[steve26272]

Right, stop fuckin abhart nar

That’s the team talk done, Stoke done us a solid

Go out to batter Sunderland tomorrow, 6 point lead and we’re back on track

Performance will tell us everything we need to know whether we’re up for the fight, or bottling it

If Hecky can’t get them up for a night under the floodlights in front of 40 odd thousand we know he ain’t got it

0-4 must be the aim and give boro a kick in the bollox

 

[Jonno77]

Enjoyed that. Thought Stoke looked better team and missed some chances despite ref seeming to favour boro. Beat Sunderland tomorrow and my turtle head can subside!

 

[Corkblade]

Stoke should have won, really impressed by them, if they had akpom they probably would. Boro looked like a nervy team, kept giving the ball away and if you thought the lane can be quiet and nervy it was their in abundance at the Riverside tonight. Over to the Blades now.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Boro were poor tonight under the cosh. So, if they were to pass us and we’d have 6 or 7 games to chase them with 3points ish between, their arsehole would go based on that. They should’ve lost. COME ON BLADES.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

I’m Gonna go for 1-1 bora

And 1-0 blayardssss tommorow vs Sunlan

All I’m saying is me and Paul the octopus have never been seen in the same room

Dujon Stirling, on loan Chelsea right back but has been playing at left back the last few games for Stoke.

I'd say he is a Chelsea youngster but he is actually 23 and as you can guess he has been farmed out on loan a few times. He has been at Chelsea for 6 years and not even kicked a ball for them.

 

[Dnblade]

Well done Stoke,put a right shift in,full of energy and unlucky they didn't nick it near the end.

 

[Drunk blade]

Let's be honest if you swapped brewster for akpom boro would be a mid table side

 

[Sean Thornton]

Octopuses are sensitive intelligent creatures.

Again me and Paul the octopus haven’t been seen in the same room
