Uwe 3,545 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Middlesbrough v Wolves Riverside Stadium Friday 4th March KO 1945hrs So after the bitter disapointment of a terrible Blackburn away performance which ultimately lead to defeat we find ourselves back in action with yet another opportunity to climb to the summit of the championship. Depending heavily on how Hull do Thursday night. Last time we met Wolves 1-3 Boro Going into half time a goal down boro hit back in the second half with goals from a Fabrini, Leadbitter (Pen) and a Downing late injury time strike. A similar scoreline would be great but with no Fabrini and Leadbitter limping out of action we need someone else to step to the fore. (nudge nudge Gaston Ramierez) Wolves last game Wolves 2-1 Derby Saville was the two goal hero that sunk Derby fans further in despair. However that was only their first win in 8 games (And we thought our blip was bad) Wolves will be hoping that they have turned a corner and can maybe make a late push towards the play off places. I hope not. Key Players: James Henry. Top scorer with 7 goals George Saville. Will be boosted by his performance against Derby The Boro Boro’s form is up and down more than a $10 hookers knickers at the moment. And we need to get back to Fortress Riverside and start recording clean sheets . The squad I would like to see is ---------------Dimi---------------- Nsue—Gibbo—Kalas—DeLeat --------Clayton—Forshaw------ Adomah—Ramirez—Downing --------------Rhodes------------- The reasoning behind it is Grant limped off against Blackburn and Fry (Good tho he has been) may be a tad lightweight against the likes of Sigurdarson and Henry who could return. And Gaston is well on his way to becoming undroppable What the opposition are saying http://www.the-wolf.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=68857 The Men in Black Referee: Stuart Attwell Assistants: Tom Nield and Barry Cropp Fourth Official: Sebastian Stockbridge What the Bookies say Boro are strongish favorites @ 4/7 Wolves @ 5/1 with the draw coming at just under 3/1 Personally I prefer the Boro 2-0 win @ 11/2 Any ways Boys & Girls its over to you!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Rocket 244 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It's hard to not feel a little deflated but we'll pick ourselves up and go again. ---------------Dimi---------------- Nsue—Gibbo—Fry—DeLeat --------Clayton—Forshaw------ Adomah—Ramirez—Downing --------------Rhodes------------- Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 100% agree RR. Thats why its a really slimmed down version of a MDT as I wanted to get it out there so people could start looking forward instead of backwards (I'm really starting to worry abot KM :P) and had to do this at work. On the plus side my boss thinks im the hardst working guy in the office today which almost never happens :) Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well I hope you go on a very long run of threads. :D I'm still gutted, I still haven't posted properly in the other match-day thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yes last nights defeat was a hammer blow, we have the chance to recover and regroup and tear Wolves to pieces. Link to post Share on other sites
Yeovil-Boro 4 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well, my boss is a Wolves fan, so losing is not an option and neither is drawing really. He says they are woeful at the back and hate being hustled and harried as they make a lot of mistakes at the back, so it got me to thinking that Nugent's energy would be preferable to Rhodes, but i'd say this is a game where two up front should work, but what would that mean for Ramirez? Not sure all three could play as it could throw the shape. Certainly think there will be plenty of chances on Friday and it will be down to the strikers to put some away. I can see a similar performance to that of the Cardiff game and a two goal margin victory. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ramirez is the first name on my team sheet atm. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Wolves have an awful record on Teesside, never beat Boro away in over 50 odd years, so long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would go with RR's team, but would bring in Kalas for Fry, we need a little bit more experience and physicality at the back. We must give Rhodes a string of games to 'bed in', this drop him one game, rest him another is nuts, he is too good a player and the goals will come. Wolves Achilles heel is their defence, expect them to pack it and the midfield, could be a war of attrition, (again). Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm almost tempted to say drop Gibson and bring in Kalas, for me Gibson looked far shakier than Fry last game. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I very much doubt we will see Nugent and Rhodes on the same pitch again unless we're chasing a game. Back to basics, back to our best team. Assuming Leadbitter is injured, I'd say same team as Fulham barring him for Clayton and I reckon Nsue will come back in for either Friend or De Laet. Sounds unlikely we'll see Ayala any time soon but hearing his name on the team-sheet would be a massive boost. 2-1 Boro, Gaston fgs. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ayala making a surprise return? Lets hope so ? Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 385 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ramirez is the first name on my team sheet atm. I think Dimi is safest and Karankas first name Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,328 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well I hope you go on a very long run of threads. :D I'm still gutted, I still haven't posted properly in the other match-day thread. Then do so Jen would be good to hear from someone who was at the game and who is normally very accurate with their observations on the game Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would go with RR's team, but would bring in Kalas for Fry, we need a little bit more experience and physicality at the back. So my team then ;) Link to post Share on other sites
