Boro take on West Brom at the Riverside tomorrow, in a top of the Championship battle.

Possible line up;

Coyne,
McMahon, Wheater, St. Ledger, Grounds,
O'Neil, Williams, Arca, Johnson,
Emnes, Aliadiere.

Thoughts and predictions going into the game...

Would like to see Yeates on the wing, O'Neil into the centre and Arca on the bench. Hope we get 25000. UTB.

Going back a few months, who would have contemplated a team without Huth, Downing, Tuncay and - dare I say it - Alves, to call on?

The fact that we can now think about welcoming the likes of St Leger and Forlan to the side speaks volumes. What will shout loudest of all, though, is how the fans welcome our newcomers.

They have to be given a really great welcome on Saturday and that applies to both of them. Our promotion prospects could depend on it.

I'm really having trouble judging this league. West Brom are one of the best sides but I'm gonna go 2-1 boro.

Bugrit - I've been pretty critical of the Folan signing but if he starts or gets on tomorrow I'll still be cheering and hoping he scores.

I reckon it will be 2-0 to the Boro.

Funny that a few months ago, West Brom at home would have been regarded as one of our 'easy' games. Now we are both in the Championship, it becomes one of our hardest! We are obviously weaker than we were, but how come they seem to have improved?

I've read Forlan is in the sqaud, so probably will be on the bench.

2-1 or 2-0 Boro

I dont think they have improved (much) but they didnt weaken as much as we did. However its a question of relative difficulty. WBA is an easy game when you compare it with ManU, Chelsea, etc. It becomes a much harder game when you compare it with Doncaster, Swansea and the like though.

Im going to go with a 2-1 win for us, coming back from a goal down early on. 50p head might even be involved with or score the winner for us.
