Cannot wait for this game tonight.

I can’t lie. We’re in the relegation zone but I really can’t wait to watch this tonight. I have a really good/bad feeling about it. It’s one of those games where I can’t see anything other than a win/embarrassing, spirit-crushing defeat.

0-0.
‘win/embarrassing, spirit-crushing defeat’

beautiful choice of words here. a win is just a win.. we’re back on track on to the next.

a loss is embarrassing, spirit crushing..

I think Leo should be advocating a sports psychologist for all of us never mind the players!
 
weirdly i'm looking forward to it too. absolutely no idea what to expect. i fear a trouncing but you never know. curious to know when the carrick announcement will be. no chance today, but tomorrow maybe?
Interesting one, the pressure is off for Leo in my opinion.. gives him a bit more flexibility perhaps. With the new manager watching on, you would think it would raise the game of a few of our players. Although maybe they will be less likely to take risks if we don’t concede.
 
I think they might be holding off announcing Carrick until after tonight. If we were at home it might be different, but this is really hard and tricky fixture and you don’t really want Carrick associated with it. Unless we win, when we can say the players raised their game to try and impress him. It’s win-win for Carrick really.
 
If we're winning going into the last 10 minutes and it's only by 1 goal, then I will be dreading it.

Will have the exact same vibes as Stoke away this season.

Although we've been dreadful at times of late, we've not really had a large slice of luck.

I do think Wigan are there for the taking, but so are we and that's why I think we'll lose. We have zero confidence at the moment and it's so telling, it's untrue.

agreed. though knowing boro it won't even be tomorrow. 🤣
 
I've gone from we're getting automatic promotion after 20 minutes against Watford, when they didn't get a kick.
To we might get relegated after 20 minutes against Blackburn.
When we didn't get a kick.
They did retrieve they situation a little in the second half.
Today is the first time ever we are going into a game against Wigan where l don't think we are going to win.
Still logic has nothing to do with Championship football so lgo for a change in formation from the start and 0-1 to the Boro

We better be putting together some black and white montage stuff together for the announcement after the game on Saturday! I want the works! Ayresome Park gates, transport bridge, roseberry topping, half and half suit & shorts, kick ups in the centre circle, good luck message from Juninho, parmo, old photographs of him and his dad playing for Boro, Cattle and Cane, Bob Mortimer, Jet from Gladiators!!!!

I want him given a king’s chair and carried under Shepherdson Way, then made to bow down before the statues of the three finest English footballers of all time, before being serenaded by Alistair Griffin and his acoustic guitar and finally made to recite the entire dialogue from Woody’s Bird.

Only then shall we accept him as one of our own.

A plus - lose tomorrow and saturday and the only way is up for Carrick.

I can't see us getting a clean sheet with our schoolboy defending, so we'll have to score to get anything out of this game.
 
Can't really get excited for it at all.

Drawn the last 6 games there too.

I'm hoping we try something different in terms of formation and put in a good performance, I want to get that buzz back.
