Middlesborough away predictions

[robinrover]

I really cannot see us winning this one we have lost 2 of our better players especially Steele who has been very good in goal his replacement for the game Eastwood or robinson both fill me with apprehension.
That said I would like to think we can take a point from this game would I take it now from a tough place like the riverside?oh yes 100 percent.
1-1 draw but I can't help thinking we will leave with nothing.

not sure how to set up myself. do you upset continuity and go for a 5 man midfield, with gestede on his own up top..? or do you say `fck it` and go for it the same way we would at home..? i look back on the last time we were promoted under souness, and did he change the team depending on opposition/playing away..? i think he was brave every game and just went for it, so therein, that`s your answer for me if promotion is the aim.

I'm honestly torn on this subject, JR. I have always though the team should reflect the opposition and the situation, but I also appreciate the value of a settled side/formation.
If GB goes for a five-man midfield and we get beaten 0-1, he will get loads of stick, but if we attack and get done 2-3, the same thing will happen.
This is why managers earn their money more than the players do!

Robin - I have the same feeling of unease, but I've gone for 1-1 too.

I've kept away from this one, as I hate predicting defeat. Hopefully we'll scab something out of the game, (and in fairness, the lads do seem to fair better against the top teams in the league).

Head says 2-1 to Borough, heart says 2-1 to Rovers.

Hi auks how are you?
I am a postman so getting up early is par of the course.
Back to the game I looked at this game a while ago as being the hard one for us if we get a point I will be happy ecstatic with 3
Our 3 that follow I feel will give us maximum points so coming out of this game unbeaten is crucial.
