Tough game this.

Boro don't score many and don't concede many either.

1-1 draw.

 

[Drog]

Changed my mind about five times and still not sure what to go for.
Sod it
2-0 to Rovers

Me too. 1-1
Was going to go with a 2-1 till I saw our team selection. I have to wonder if rothwells bonking mowbray's missus.

 

[Drog]

Lots of press photographers around the dugout. Who are they photographing?

 

[Drog]

Minutes applause for Fred pick and Gordon banks. Mike Harrison obviously not important enough

 

[Drog]

Boro showing plenty of attacking intent and appear to be playing 3 at the back in a fluid 3-5-2.
I'd change my prediction if I could

 

[Drog]

0-1 19 mins. Big mistake by mulgrew

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

0-1 Mulgrew hang your head lad

 

[Drog]

Why is Dack wanting to take a free kick in our half? Get up top man!!!!!

 

[Drog]

Solved it ... getting mullered so Mowbray has changed things. Dack deep midfield. Reed right wing. Bennet left wing. Brereton up with graham.
Big cheer as Travis begins to warm up

Rodwell booked. Pity cos he's been our best player

 

[Drog]

another massive defensive cock up sees Williams sent off. Ref tried to send mulgrew off at first.
Mowbray disappeared down the tunnel before ht. Lot of work to do to repair his cockup of a team selection. Dispirited and disjointed performance from a team looking more like relegation candidates than play off material.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Well, so much for the theory that ToMo was focusing on the Boro match in midweek

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

This is grim .

Rovers all over the place .

Middlesbrough organised , disciplined and winning all the personal battles - my sort of footballing philosophy.

Fair enough, Middlesbrough are a much better team . This makes the missed opportunity against a poor Reading team even more galling .

We need to get to 50 points by hook or by crook .

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Rovers 33-1 to win.
No, I'm not bothering

 

[Drog]

2nd half Evans brereton and rodwell off. Travis nyambe and bell on.

 

[Drog]

Up to now 10 men are better than 11 with brereton

 

[Drog]

Ft 0-1

 

[Drog]

2nd time in a week that Mowbray's selection lost us points. I bet he got one serious bolllocking at ht from the senior pros. He deserved to that's for sure! Any more shyte selections and he'll lose those players. Lots of rumours that waggot is making him play BB but tbh at times like this all sorts of rumours appear on social media.
