Boro managers DO NOT chuck the cups away

I have to be honest, and I apologise for swearing, but I absolutely f*cking hate it when Boro managers pick teams of kids for cup games. Blooding one or two, one or two on the bench, no problem. But leaving out the core of the first team tonight or any night is just not on for me. I hope the chairman b*llocks him for it.

I always remember McClaren saying that after he played the kids one year at Ipswich and we lost 3-0 or 3-1, and we got a good pasting, the chairman phoned him and said “we don’t do that at Boro, we’re a cup team.”

It also flies in the face of what Wilder said about the cups when he took the job. Chucking games of football away, I can’t get my head around it. We need to find fitness, form, sharpness and confidence.

He’s piled the pressure on ahead of Sunday now, and I’ve little or no sympathy TBH.
 
Well, you don't need a crystal ball to imagine the scenario if Gibson does böllock him (which he won't do imho). He'll be looking for a new manager.

Thank God this one did!
 
I said when I saw the team they could have written that on a towel and thrown it onto the pitch.

Embarrassing, how they expect to sell tickets when they do that I don't know.
 
Completely agree Viv. Win tonight and we go into Sunday with a bit of confidence. Now we’re are winless in 3 with a very tough game after everyone else has played. Early days I know, but it’s been a terrible start. Playing so many kids tonight was stupid, especially when players like Forss and Akpom need fitness. Also, can‘t get my head around Watmore starting again, considering he’s supposed to be being managed due to his injuries. Bonkers.

Isn’t Watmore supposed to be surplus to requirements so why start him over Akpom? I don’t get it.
 
The last thing we shoud be worried about. Desperate for a win in the league,its all that matters now.

He's got an incredibly thin squad. I'm a bit frustrated but can understand it. I don't think it should impact on pressure for Saturday at all.
