Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[WhiteRose]

Part of that is developing one of our own players over a loanee.

In part I agree with it, Gray will be a first team player or a very selllable asset in the seasons on come.

Of course the downside is the great unknown.

Could Roberts have made a difference this season...

Unknown what happens with Archie if we go up, I’d say he definitely can’t play right back in the prem and it would be a risk for him to start in midfield.

If we don’t go up he could well be a saleable asset this summer

He won't be going anywhere this Summer.....

I cannot see that - his value based on his current trajectory is only going to rise. If we cashed in on him it effectively outlines the ambition of the club.

Cant fault that myself Sub, but I'm betting Joseph wont start. I can see Piroe and Kamara starting - or Kamara and Bammie.

Did I read right somewhere that half of 'Boro's first team is injured? Also, Don't know the rule for this league - can Ayling and Greenwood play against us?

Maybe I should've read the full report first as my questions were answered.

Leicester the clear favourites for automatic promotion after their victory this weekend, but win two or three of our remaining games and we have every chance. Given our last game is against Southampton, we probably need to win on Monday night.

A massive learning process for Archie.

We've got 2 games before Ipswich play again, for auto we must win them both and put pressure on Ipswich to beat Hull and Coventry both away, if we don't win these next 2, I'll be thinking we're in the play offs.

I'm thinking we're in the playoffs and if we don't win tonight we're defo in the playoffs

Ours and Ipswichs next 2 will most likely be season defining.

With a bit of 'luck', the Soton game might not matter, we'll take them out of the equation if we win our next 2, before Ipswich kick a ball.

We could do with Coventry beating Hull on Weds night, they'd both then be going up against Ipswich at home in must win games to have any chance at all of reaching the play offs, albeit a slight chance if Norwich and WBA both win on Saturday, but it is still mathematically viable and all to play for, and Hull v Ipswich is at 8pm Saturday.

We need to win both first

Wrote about this on Championship thread yesterday. Think it would be better if Hull win.

[1964white]

The last time we played Boro' at their place.

Oh how we miss someone with the genius of a Pablo.

[1964white]

Cracking game at ER four months ago.

Perhaps so, but Coventry can pull level with Hull which would mean they both have to win v Ipswich to stand any chance, i see what you mean that a Hull win would be better, i was looking at the times of the fixtures inc the 3pm Saturday ones of Norwich and WBA, a draw between Coventry and Hull wouldn't be so good at all, but a win for either keeps them mathematically in the hunt, especially if either of Norwich or WBA lose or draw on Saturday, i'd like Coventry to be playing Ipswich with something to play for, coz their heads are already down after the scum game.

[Jaydog]

I had my B365 free bet on Latte to score first. So that’s him mockered
If it wins I’ll have enough for several cappuccino’s though. Every cloud.

Have to agree with this assessment.

Realistically, I think we need to win all our remaining games to have a chance at automatic promotion.

Right, i feel really unlucky if i watch Leeds live, when i really really really need Leeds to win, they fcking damn well never do if i watch it, but i want to watch it and be done with my demons.

For all your sakes i could choose not to watch, and they'll definitely win, but if i watch, i will have zero 'positive mental attitude' and i'll be soooooooooo feckin tense for us to score, that we won't, so i have a dilemma....stfu with my stupid feckin negative superstitions, and watch, coz whtever will be will be, or look at the result later and win.

Fck kin hell Leeds why the fck do you do this to me you twats 50 feckin years i've had this, then Bert resolved everything, and now i'm back here again you twats
