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.
