Unofficial "Official" Boro v Stoke City Match Day Thread. [Can we still get top 6?]

[Laughing]

We can't be 5 points off, the best we can get is 6 points off.

Barnsley play Bournemouth.

We're currently 8 points off 6th placed Barnsley, 6 points off 7th placed Bournemouth.

Of course, glad you pointed out the why, I was about to SMASH the reply button yelling why you were wrong and must have missed the day they did adding up at school. Thanks for allowing me to avoid that embarrasment.

I can't be botherred to redo my sums for play-offs.

 

[Laughing]

I'll be extremely disappointed if him and/or Akpom are even on the bench, but expect they will be

One of them should probably be on the bench in the event we need to switch to using a conventional center forward. Hopefully we won't need either of them and be cruising by half time.

You never know.

But I think we're too far off now, even if we win the best we can do is stay 6 points off the play-offs.
We need a long winning run to have any chance.

It‘s a nice thought but not only do we have to go on a very good winning run we need the three above us to go on losing runs, and in the case of Bournemouth and Cardiff.....to do it by lots of goals.

Spence again

 

[TeaCider]

That's the team I'd have picked, if Fisher isn't fully fit.

Interesting that this Coburn is on the bench.

Akpom FFS
Coburn on the bench

Spence again

Fisher's not fully fit, I think he has a hamstring issue.

 

[r00fie1]

Believe!

Big lanky striker. Plays up front with young Kavanagh for the youth team but gets his fair share of goals.

Glad you asked roofie, we will see goals today, probably 3 goals. They will not come early in the game though and we may have to wait until the second half.

It doesn't tell me which side will score them, but it looks to me like a 2-1 or a 3-0. We played well last week and did enough to win, we will put that right today.

Stoke have inspected the Away Team facilities and placed their half-time orange orders.

I liek to see them dressed for the office too Roofie, sort of like they are ready for business. I may be misremembering this, but wasn't there a managerr who insisted his players turned up to training every day clean shaven.
