The more I think about this game and the resources available in defence the more I imagine it being an absolute disaster. They've got a few big lumps in the team and I can see them causing mad panic every set piece....

I remember after Bolton away I randomly walked past the players entrance after the game and Mulgrew stormed to the team coach before any of the other players were even leaving with a real face on. Didn't read too much into it back then but maybe he's more cry baby than captain fantastic?

Bennett 100% needs dropping. I don't give a shit how hard he tries, I was watching his positional sense yesterday and it was like watching a primary school kid try and defend.

I thought their fans were OK tbh, drank in the Fernhurst after the game with no bother at all. In a following of that size you're bound to get a few clowns, let's be honest half of them probably won't go another game all season.

Yeah you're spot on. Was talking to some Preston lads in the Fernhurst and they said exactly the same. Sooner this season ends the better. That said, if we go into next season like we're playing at the moment we're 100% going down.

True but that applies to most grounds, pint of Singha at City was probably my last decent pint in a ground ?

Nothing to lose trying something like this, although not everyone likes a pint or 2 at football there's a big chunk of people who do

City without a shadow of a doubt. I know a fair few Liverpool fans but out of all of them there's probably only one who's a decent bloke.

Full 90 for Chappers and Davenport too, must be close to some first team involvement the pair of them...

Play Brereton and Nuttall up top on Saturday, nowt to lose

Number 2 for Brero now ?

He's just notched an assist up too flicking on Chappers cross for Nuttall

Goal Brereton ⚽⚽⚽?

Ffs call the game off now. World's worst gambler has cursed us

Funnily enough I used to walk there with my dad when times were hard in the 80's. Wouldn't even consider it now

Only for fake fans mind ?

Sky *spit*

Nonsense If you have a dodgy performance you go all out to put it right. Travis should be first name on the team sheet

I was there on Thursday so it's doubtful petal ?

Fake fan

They're more attacking away tbf However If anyone likes a flutter 0-0 HT result looks good

On holiday in mallorca last year met a few boro and they still love mowbs, in fact I bet they'd take him back now. This will be such a turd game if u look at the stats, so 2-2 it is

On the flipside scoring one goal in 3 games against 3 of the worst teams in the championship. I hate to piss on your Bruce love in but we also kept a clean sheet against Ipswich and Millwall a few weeks ago whilst scoring a few more too. We may well do the same against Reading tonight.....

1-0 win here I think They're going for their 3rd clean sheet in a row but we've only failed to bag twice away all season. Not expecting much in the way of entertainment mind.

The only valid point you make is that yes the transfer window should be scrapped. If players aren't available they aren't available and 9 times out of 10 if you ARE available in January there's one reason, you're shite. I'm glad we didn't panic buy and cut into our summer budget to be honest As for the unfit crock, its not hard to build fitness through intense training. Sadly you are injury prone when you're a pacey winger people were whining on about
