* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Brum Match-Day Thread *

[sambaDTR]

They are there for the taking. Just need to speed the game up around their box and we can win this game.

What this game needs is a goal

 

[TeessideCleveland]

McGree seems to be a threat - all the attempts on Sky commentary seem to be from him against his old club

Friend on as sub against his old club

Juninho NOT playing against his old club

 

[Laughing]

My pulse rate says not.

Good play doesn't always get your pulse racing. I agree you can watch this with one eye and not miss much. That doesn't mean it's dire. It means the defences are holding firm for the minute.

We have been the better team and will go on and win it.

What this game needs is a goal

Wrong thread

 

[Ipad1977]

Brum are appalling, we should be beating these, Crooks off and Jones on please

They're limited, but thus far are playing a defensive game to allow for this, as epitomised by the fact that the Juke's shot after 40 minutes was their first of any kind.

 

[futureboy]

With Dean Whitestone as ref, there will undoubtedly be some strange decisions - so let's hope some of them benefit us.

Yep. It seems Hannibal is yellow card-proof.

 

[brattleboro]

crooks been terrible up front so far

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Crooks is not a striker he is our weak link today, nothing sticking with him, not sure why he is our most forward player, Forss should be up top.
Not sure how Warmore and Muniz will be feeling with Crooks playing as our main attacker.

 

[kuepper]

Should have been a 2nd yellow for Hannibal there, poor refereeing

 

[Yearbyred]

Lacking any cutting edge so far.

No real shape to the game and it’s all a bit flat.

 

[Caretaker1]

Yep. It seems Hannibal is yellow card-proof.

Hannibal needs anger management .
As does the schoolboy James .
Haring around crashing into people .

HT:

 

[Liamo]

How Hannibal has not had at least one yellow card, is beyond me.

 

[r00fie1]

We could potentially go up to 4th - our goal difference[+6] is better than Luton [+5] Millwall [+4]

 

[lostinyorkshire]

These are lacking confidence clearly. I thought they were decent at The Riverside. We need to quicken up. Not getting Akpom on the ball enough. Forss playing right instead of Jones, not convinced by that still

 

[WindyNook]

Almost 70% possession
9 shots against 1
This game is there for the taking.
The old Boro would probably lose this one
Let's prove we are not that team!

 

[allied_assault]

One bit of quality from us and the 3 points are ours

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Forss back up front. Crooks off and bring Jones on.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

How Hannibal has not had at least one yellow card, is beyond me.

He hasn't committed a bookable offence so far for me.

This is poor fayre, both teams look naff.
