Boro’ v Rams

[ramAnag]

Won’t go down well I know, but I have to admit to having grudging admiration for Tony Pulis. Like the equally unpopular Neil Warnock there are few managers better at winning promotion and, imo, TP is better equipped for keeping sides up.
What he achieved at Stoke was a major footballing achievement and it is noticeable that the decline began shortly after he was sacked and Stoke went after a more ‘glamorous’ name.
Having said that (incoming) I’m not a great fan of the football Pulis’ sides are known for and they are invariably very, very physical.
Don’t imagine tomorrow will be any different so...do we try and out football them or is it time to bring back the ‘big boys’?
Think the last time we played a match where whichever team won would go top was, curiously, also at the Riverside but under Paul Clement. We were dreadful that day, completely outplayed and outfought. I expect better tomorrow...don’t expect us to go top but I do think we might comeback with a point. 1-1 for me...thoughts?
