Middlesbrough head 2 head

[ShorehamRevolution]

This fixture is pretty evenly balanced

Blades wins 45

Draws 23

Middlesbrough wins 43



This fixture also stretches all the way back to 1891 where we won the smoggies 2-1 away from home.



The highest scoring fixture between the two clubs was a whopping 10-3 loss away from home for the blades, back in 1933. We’ve lost by a bigger margin (Newcastle last year 0-8) and we’ve also had a 13-0 loss in the cup to Bolton back in 1890, I’m pretty sure this equals most goals in a competitive game for us.



Between 1974 and 1990 we only won boro once in 11 attempts which was a 2-1 away win in March 1986, Withe and Edward’s getting the goals in Ian Porterfields penultimate game before Billy McEwan took over.



1988 saw another heavy loss this time 0-6 to our supposed Yorkshire rivals (I don’t care who sets the boundaries, what the argument is for it or where it’s officially placed, Middlesbrough is NOT in Yorkshire)



Franz Carr and Brian Deane scored in this 92/93 victory at the lane





A more recent victory for the blades again at bramall lane was this 4-1 a few seasons ago, Berge, Sharp, Robinson and Gibbs - white on the scoresheet

Blumming eck, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a commentator use the word spooned !

We’ve won 2 of our last 20 away games v Boro. We won on our first visit to the Riverside and haven’t won since.

That record ain’t improving tomorrow.

BTW anyone who thinks Middlesbrough isn't in Yorkshire needs to look at a map. It is.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

For a bit of context for how long ago our last win there was, the google.com domain name had only been registered 3 weeks before

Chris Old is from Middlesbrough and played for Yorkshire CCC at the time when you have to be born in Yorkshire to play for the club. Paul Jarvis is from Redcar.

Remember that game well. First day at uni and watched it at the New Inn, Durham (Scream pub). Good times. Mad to think we've not won there since. That said, it's only a few years ago...isn't it...

We brought Lee Martin on and subbed him off again but don't know the context. Maybe Blackwell taking a leaf out of Warnock's book and wanting Shelton on as a 5th striker to chase the game..

Only won once at the Riverside. In October 1997. This was also our first visit to the ground. I was 13.

Haven't won in last 8 visits.

Similarly, I used to flog my wares in the (now closed) North Riding Infirmary in central Middlesbrough. The clue is in the name

 

[Pollingtonblade]

To have a chance of winning we need to have a team that can create chances. The one that started at Real Leeds didn't have that.

We need to play JRS

We could also do with our striker/s trying to do what they're paid for.

0-1
