* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Port Vale. Caraboa Cup, Quarter-Final, Match-Day Thread *

Crooks looks well of the pace, and not surprising with recent workload...would love to see some energy and one of the young lads in there instead, game has passed Crooks by at times

Get Crooks off for a rest he's desperate for it. If we lose it from here then it's just not to be...

I think he desperately needs a rest too. Clealry struggling and has been for a couple of weeks.

I'd happily settle for unconvincing football for the rest of the season if we hang on here and get 3 more wins in this competition.

what is it that's going through your mind that suggests we concede 3 without reply in 45 min. Can we help at all ?

Agreed. Matty needs a good blow and dry. He’s too important for us to burn him out

Huh?

I think he means we shouldn't loose so give crooks a rest.

Take Matty off, who do you bring on?

As one of Engel's biggest critics, I think tonight has been one of his best performances in a boro shirt. Apart from letting his man get goal.sode of him for their one chance...

After watching the half time highlights, he's also at fault when Rogers almost gave the handball pen away. He totally misjudged his free header. But apart from those two errors. He's done pretty well

Issiah. Rogers in no10. Sammy on left.

 

[allied_assault]

Kav or Jones

As all over the shop as we ever are, but fortunately playing League One

 

[Defender 4x4]

Crooks was breathing out his Ass after 15 Mins

Not sure where all our younger lads play tbf but looking at the bench if there's space and the score line doesn't get worse, I wouldn't be opposed to giving one of them a run out a bit later in the half.
