Boro thread

I don’t blame them, if we get into the play offs we will be in form. If we are in form in the play offs we are a dangerous team to play. Imagine them getting so close to automatics only to cock the play offs up. Lose Carrick, Akpom, Ramsey, Archer and Jones and have to start again.

Could say the same about us losing players
 

Second leg at home is important, as long as we get that I would be happy. If I could pick any team to play it would be someone like Blackburn or Preston.

Wonder where boro would be if akprom had played 13 games only , like Stewart this season ?

also archer being recalled like simms was

they’ve been lucky to not have those problems to deal with . If we play them in the play offs, all the pressure is on them

Good question. In that scenario we still have Forss, Muniz who are strikers.

Our most recent match v Boro is what scares them.

I mean it really doesn't. Play off match would be different. We beat Norwich 5-0 over 2 matches and they still beat us in the play offs.

But not of the quality of the other two. Safc have had zero centre forward since Christmas . Think on that. I don’t think there would be any chance you would be that high with the start you had

you’ll be odds on if you met safc.

What's your wage expenditure like, do you know how it compares to the rest of the league?

Well yeah, that's my point. We still would have strikers.

We wouldn't be, of course we wouldn't. Archer and Akpom are big players. Injuries do happen though. Our best CB has been injured for a few matches and continues to be.

True. It will be fun if it happens. Good luck anyway, as long as it doesn’t ;)

Mm not sure on loan deal % wage.

Bit of a misconception about how much we have spent - it's not much in last few years. We have a lot of free transfers and academy players in our first team - Smith, Jones, Fry, Hackney, Lenihan.

McNair might be a big earner. Howson is signing 1 year deals.

Do you have a bigger squad than most if you have 4 or 5 strikers/forwards to choose from?
