Middlesbrough (A) - Match Thread

[philipl]

Holtby down. Not looking good.

[SoldierMo]

Glad we brought some players in the transfer window incase....idiots

[bluebruce]

Did they just say Graham went down the tunnel to put his match boots on?? What kind of amateur hour shit is that? Or did I mishear?

[Gogger]

Omfg, Bennett on... good thing we used the transfer window so well.

I wouldn't mind but we already knew about the midfield injury crisis and that Holtby wasn't the most robust.

[USABlue]

ToMo is happy now.  His butt.buddy comesmon and we lose.yet.another.creative.spark

[Pedro]

Fuck sake. Any excuse to get Bennett on.

Thing is, I'm dreading Gestede coming on. Seems like writing on the wall that he'd score! Not sure either of our defenders would be able to cope with his strength.

Assombalonga always seems to do well against us. Those 2 can stay on the bench hopefully 

[simongarnerisgod]

i cannot believe bennett is on,have you having a laugh,he could barely move on tuesday night

[Wegerleswiggle]

Looks like Bennett has taken a knock.

Match shirt, I think they said.

That's...no better. Fucking hell. Even at junior level if I was on the bench I had full kit and boots on. I wonder if that's why TM said fuck it, Bennett instead.

Seems a daft sub. Could have just brought one of our three strikers on and put Arma in the hole. Instead we are shifting a few around?

[Bigdoggsteel]

Holtby injured, who could have seen that coming....

?

[TruRover]

We’re actually a joke. How did we come to the conclusion that we would be alright without any attacking reinforcements with our best player out for the season and number of our forwards injury prone. TM derserves the sack for that alone. 

[davulsukur]

Assuming Holtby was in behind Arma, where has bennett come on?? 

Please don't say it was a straight swap.

[BankEnd Rover]

Class Mowbray just class mate.

People said he would start today instead of JRC, so that's not necessarily true.

Bennett on the wing. Gallagher and Arma on top.

4-4-2 seems to me

[simongarnerisgod]

a fit bennett is bad enough a less than fit one is a bloody liability,nailed on he gives a penalty away

[Mr. E]

We have 4 starting line up midfielders out injured now. This is just impossible.

FFS Tony! You would bring on Bennett if Walton got injured! Bennett is a league one player! So who has moved where now to accomdate Bennett?

[BankEnd Rover]

That’s 3 of our best midfielders now out. Holtby injury was always coming.

Or put Johnson on and moved downing forward. Anything but bennett

Wait until Travis gets suspended.

[G Somerset Rover]

Great decision not to sign anyone, lads.

[Wegerleswiggle]

I expect a free transfer midfielder coming in if this continues. 

Think someone mentioned Carroll from Swansea has been released.
