Great news.

Hopefully there's still something to play for when they're all back.

Lenihan said he'd be back in training soon as well, so the only major absence could soon be Smith.

Hopefully the complete opposite of last season, loads of injured players coming back and we finish the season on a great run as opposed to losing key players and not bothering after confirming play-offs.

Where have you heard that about Lenihan?

I think that boat has sailed. We'd need upwards of 7 or 8 wins from 9.

Brilliant news for the run in
One team always comes strong and secures a play off spot. Hopefully it’s us!!!!

We'd need that, and it's very unlikely, but we'd still have it to play for after the international break if we win on Saturday.

Boro defender Darragh Lenihan shares potential return date from injury

Darragh Lenihan has been absent since September and had surgery in November

He spoke to some Boro fans in hospitality at the Plymouth match.

I guess it's still the one game at a time mantra until it is definitely over. Our home form has been so bad that we can't take anything for granted against Blackburn. We have four very hard away games to finish the season (Southampton, Hull, Cardiff and Ipswich). We'd probably need to win two of those and all our home games to have even a slight chance of the last play-off spot and hope Norwich, Hull, Preston and Cov also slip up a bit. Be a great end to the season though if we manage to take it as late as possible.

Personally, I’d leave fry out even if fit.. we look better with Clarke, Rav and Paddy IMO

I don't think you can drop those three on form. Fry will have to wait until one of them picks up an injury or falls out of form. Hard to leave Fry out of the side when they're all on form mind.

He must be lying because the ITK posters said most of those are out for the season.

We’ve got too many players now. Bloated squad

Yes, if they had come back 4 weeks earlier, I'd fancy our chances, but it's a bit late now

for me it depends on the McNair contract negotiations. If he's definitely leaving, I'd play Fry

 

[Merlin]

That’s good news - I’d like to see Bangura as a wing back, because i think he’d excel in that position with his pace

It is fantastic news isn't it. I wasn't expecting that at all. It doesn't mean they are all ready to step straight back in but could be we have a far bigger squad and so many more options for the run in.

He would have to be in the middle. Can't step up into midfield like McNair and Clarke.
