I think Britt will start tonight

-------Tavernier--Howson--Saville--------
----Spence--Assombalonga--Johnson---
Please. No more Spence on the right wing. We have signed several wingers to stop that experiment. Spence is a RB or RWB only for me.
 
Thinking about the tennis analogy. I keep imagining the crowds reaction if they had some chairs by the half way line and the players sat down and had a drink every 10 minutes :)
 
Are you picking a team for tonight or the first game of this season? We have signed a few players 👍
How many will start..

Fisher--Dijksteel--McNair--Fry--Bola
----Tavernier--Howson--Saville-------
-------Watmore--Assombalonga-----

See no reason why Kebano won’t start. Morsy will start again he’s not in your team. Watmore should start really too. May see Johnson come in for one of Kebano or Watmore but I doubt it. Would be disappointed if Spence starts another game this season to be honest.

I think Britt and Tav will be in the side. I think Warno mentioned Fisher picking up a knock.. we'll just have to see how it pans out.

Ah never heard that about Fisher. It’s a tough team to pick tonight because whilst he will be tempted to make changes he also won’t want to disrupt much.
 
Is Tav defiently ok to start like? Be great to have in the squad.
I don't know, he was a week behind Dael Fry in terms of recovery I think.. if Deal could have started against Huddersfield then Tav is a possibility for tonight. I doubt he'll be dropped in against Cardiff on Saturday
 
I think having a real dislike for anyone is something I would rarely have
I can only think of Mido when he was a Boro player
If Britt or Akpom come on I would wish them all the best - I don't want any player to fail wearing a Boro shirt, though unfortunately I think some do on here to prove they are right (I'm not referring to you by the way)
They both seem like decent blokes

Yea, it didn't come across great that sentance, my bad!

I meant in "footballer" terms - by no means do I dislike Britt as a person.

I'd play Hall to guard that big lump Dhediou, rest Fisher who had a knock, probably fit to play, but hold him back.

Kebano, keep playing him, we will get more out of him later, he needs the time on the pitch with his team mates

Morsy, rest him, his energy will be vital for Cardiff match, so give Saville a run out

Ditto rest Fletcher and play Akpom and Johnson and rest Watmore...bring them on if needed for 30mins
 
They’re on a mega bad run and it’s usually the case when a new gaffer comes in that they lift their individual games in order to impress .
Ive also got a suspicion that Nathaniel Mendez-Laing will get a part appearance ( probably one half ) as according to NW he’s desperate to play against Cardiff on Saturday . Doubtless he maybe wants to show them what they’re missing.
really peculiar that the Robins lost last 5 and Cardiff won last five . You watch the Boro do it the other way round
 
I've made mistakes spending my Company's and my own money before.
But can you imagine just how Steve Gibson felt when he finally realised Assombolonga was what he had seemed, he was never going to settle in and be what he was bought to be.
"**** me, £15.4m down the drain and I'm paying him £2m plus a year, so stuck with watching him for four seasons".
I'm sick to the sight of him, but if I was Gibson, I'd have a day counter until June 30th 2020 visible at all times.
Don't be tempted Steve, remember that date.
