Why are people thinking Boro are a cross between 1970 Brazil and the Real Madrid Galaticos? After over 2/3 of the season, we earned 50% more points than them. There's a reason for that...

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

.A POSITIVE home lane WIN ..sufc 3 boro 0...play special brew from the start he looks on fire hittng the bar v pompey so get him playing has a striker not winger coz he will come GOOD hes a goal scorer not a winger so play him up top and i predict a ROUT and blades rhian brewster hatrick ..forza sufc....

 

[ancientblade]

i would take a point tonight dont think that would be a bad result but surely wilder and the players know that any performance like saturday tonight and were getting nothing from this game fancy 2 - 2

 

[Argentinemanager]

After a good dose of deludamol im now expecting a complete domination of boro with a 4-0 thrashing and a performance to scare the rest of the division, brewster hat trick and cannon,

 

[TJ blade]

If Aylings playing we've got a great chance, he's absolute dog shit.

 

[1066blade]

They had a comfortable 2-0 victory over us at their place. I expect at least the same from us tonight, or im spitting my dummy out big time. The cat's already in hiding from the expected kicking!

It was 1-0

 

[Pintor75]

Boro lost 3 of last 5, one win, one draw

 

[1066blade]

Oh yeah, 2-0 was the Leeds game the match before. OK, I'll settle for 1-0, still the 3 points that matter.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Cannon won’t get dropped

Maybe not but Campbell is the better option

 

[originaltrueblade]

Go for the jugular and show no fear at home.

JRS?

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Comfortable away win incoming with whoever's playing left wing for them having a field day.

I think there are a few still traumatised by the last time they came to the lane and tore us apart. No Archer and Akpom will be a big difference between now and then!

If Wilder sticks with the same starting lineup as Pompey I’ll be worried, but if he makes the right changes, I expect us to win.

That’s just because we have been lucky. Well we must have been given Wilder is shit, so are his tactics, all of the new signings and several of our existing players. Or so I have read on here anyway.

 

[bakeblade]

Why have most fans dropped Robbo ? He was our best defender against Portsmouth . Burrows and Clarke had a stinkers and Holding looked dodgy but Robbo looked fine but according to most on here he should be dropped .

The Robbo/Anel partnership is giving up too many chances and goals, so we need to try Holding.
It could be either Anel or Robbo to make way, however Anel was very good with Soutter so Robbo should be 'rested'

 

[bakeblade]

Spoke to a Boro mate earlier and he's not confident of getting anything. Apparently they were defensively shocking against Sunderland.

I think it might end in a draw

Doak probably missing will help us, however Whittaker can be dangerous.

Doak was the best player on the pitch at their place fortunately he's out for a few weeks.

doak did to us up there what rak-saki should be doing for us hope he starts tonight

Hackney is the one we really need to shut down. Plays the most progressive passes out to the wingers by far.

Even tho Doak out they've just signed Morgan Whittaker to play in his position who is just as dangerous and Iling-Junior on the other wing.

Both will have our fullbacks on toast if get enough ball, so need to cut that off by keeping Hackney quiet.

 

[Blade56]

1, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2.

Significance?

Answer is closer than you think

Well all my confidence by no Doak playing has just gone out the window!

What about 1,1,3,4,6,1,1,3,1,1

 

[Bell4]

Last time Boro visited. 30 mins before kick off a coach parked up next to shoreham st news and emptied full of Boro firm- taking pops at everyone, parents , shirters. Was no fucking police anywhere. So just be mindful of any coaches on that side of the ground.

Thanks for the heads up - ill be waiting

 

[Gin&Juice]

Can't see anything but a loss tonight! After our resent profomances!
1-4

What’s the fucking point?

 

[Bell4]

Maybe not but Campbell is the better option

Its not a high bar tbh is t?

Finn Azaz is also a very dangerous player, they've got some good player Boro we need to be on it tonight

I see what you've done there ..

Add all digits up = 20
20 was the age i first kissed a girl
Girl rhymes with Twirl
Twirl was my favourite chocolate bar
Bar sounds like bra
Bra is a smaller version of girdle
Girdle sounds like gerbil
Gerbils eat lettuce
Lettuce is green
Green is the colour of grass
Grass needs cutting
Cutting is what you do to hair
Hair is on your head
Head is something you get given if youre lucky
Lucky is number 7
7 = heaven
Football heaven

.....is the answer Brian The Blade?

Somebodies got to much time on there hands me thinks.

I wouldn't be surprised if we lose tonight but let's be honest, if Boro fielded a 5 a side team you'd still make a case for them potentially winning.
