Matchday thread Middlesbrough v WBA 19 Sept 2025

[stargazer_1962]

Will update with team once known

[stargazer_1962]

Griffiths
Styles, Mepham, Phillips, Campbell
Mowatt, Molumby, Diakite, Price
Wallace (c), Heggebo

[Prando]

Well done stargazer buddy. I was worrying-and still am- about soulman. Anyone any news ?
I wonder will Maja get a start ? Somehow I think he won?t. But maybe Junior will appear in the starting XI

[stargazer_1962]

Albion subs: Wildsmith, Bielik, Taylor, Gilchrist, Collyer, Iling-Junior, Bostock, Johnston, Maja.

[Prando]

I don’t have a major issue with Wallace on the wing….but early substitution essential.
The Mowatt Mulumby partnership seems to suggest a pedestrian/defensive plan.
I guess we would settle for a draw.

[stargazer_1962]

Will be listening on the radiogram, and checking this board

This will be a hard watch, very defensive, looks like we?re parking the bus, it?s Middlesbrough who are flattering to deceive not Barcelona

[billsbest]

What a terrible selection!

[SwedishBaggie]

Parking the bus?

[kettering_baggie]

WBA colours are navy blue and white stripes, change strips are for colour clashes; the red of Middlesbrough does not clash with blue and white stripes. So very annoying.

[kettering_baggie]

We should have scored a first minute goal but scoring goals is not what Albion do these days, unfortunately.

[Omegstrat6]

Diakite in which I like but whilst obviously a more defensive line-up why not either Iling Junior or Mikey on instead of Wallace? That, I really don't get.

Boro just scored as I type this and cant say it wasn't coming even though it was really poor defending to allow him that amount of space. If we want to get at least a goal back surely subs need to come on sooner rather than later now.

[SwedishBaggie]

So much for parking the bus, horrendous defending. And, should have taken the lead early on, very poor finish from Phillips I believe.

[Bombers right foot]

Defensively poor for the goal, all neat tippy tappy Corberan football, utterly toothless up front
