[The Fox]

I just want that " how are they near the top of this league" feeling at full time after a comfortable win .

 

[AnstonBlade1]

1-3 tonight think they’ll have to much

 

[Tom Bott]

1-3 tonight think they’ll have to much

Like Ipswich did?

Though I think the squad was stronger then.

 

[Silkblade]

1-3 tonight think they’ll have to much

Giving me flashbacks to when they beat us 1-3 last time with Archer

 

[Boxer Blade]

1-3 tonight think they’ll have to much

Can't wait for your prediction for the game against Wednesday , go on give us your early feelings.

 

[BangorBlade]

2-1 to the blades, would start with Soumare & Peck rest of the team as per last game...unless Bamford is fit

 

[UddersBlade]

This will be a very tight match tonight - hoping for a narrow win….. but my head says a draw most likely - think it could be 2-2.

 

[SB_90]

this is very tough game tonight for the blades. as Middlesbrough have won their last 5 in row. but we won 6 & drawn 1 of our last 7 home games. only lost 1 of our last 10

their 3rd in last 10 form table we're 8th. if it wasnt for charlton farce, we would be level on points with them. should be a great match to watch for the neutral though. immovable object v unstoppable force

 

[Uganda Blade]

Both Rothwell and Phillips in the squad, by the looks of it.

Peck and Arblaster don’t work

Peck and Arblaster don’t work

Think it will do, but not yet, with only one up to scratch

Expect to see one of Phillips or Rothwell on before 60

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

Glad to see Bamford start. Wilder is a cheeky little so-and-so

Did a lot of sideways and backwards passes against Oxford

Strongest squad ️️

There's going to huge gaps in our midfield, this may be painful ( Hope I'm wrong)

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Possibly the biggest midfield test of the season tonight against Morris and Hackney, who are probably the main reasons Boro are up at the top

Called it this morning regarding Bamford..........Wilder is a canny bugga.

[YES Blade]

Whilst Phillips and Rothwell haven’t played much, I’m still a bit surprised one of them isn’t starting ahead of Arblaster.

 

[jono_t2000]

Time for Blaster to have his his best game of the season. He'll need it.

 

[Maltby_blade]

Did a lot of sideways and backwards passes against Oxford

And if we get the same result as in that one I think I’d take it

Blaster and Sidie v Hackney, Morris and Browne is worrying

Rabbit will end up trying to plug the gaps

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Just looking at the warm up tops we are wearing. Has someone been employed to smear excrement on the front of them? Looks like it.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Glad to see Bamford start. Wilder is a cheeky little so-and-so

It turns out that he dived in training.

 

[SLB]

You got it. When not at your best. You didn't 'rightly win' against Norwich or WBA. You were lucky both games. Lucky against WBA with an OG and a late winner when they had the better chances and they have been poor. That's 2 out of your last 4 games.

Is this a Boro fan and a Coventry fan arguing on a Blades forum?
Game's gone.

 

[Banzeye]

It turns out that he dived in training.

 

[Cuypers]

What a game! Goo-on then! Goo-on then!!
