Don't know if already mentioned but Blubberhouses shut for anyone planning on driving over tomorrow morning, so its either M62 past Leeds or diversion round Otley or Pateley Bridge (brave in these conditions).

Don't see any reason why the game would be in doubt though. No snow or rain forecast.

Why is Blubberhouses shut ? Another landslide ?

If you have a VPN and a Disney+ account, then it looks like you can use your Disney+ details to watch it on ESPN "in the USA"

Fair enough. I see it as, it’s a game I’d like to win, but I’d much rather give a few of the squad some minutes with the hope we can play the likes of JRC, Weimann, ACD and in particular Gueye into some form! Most importantly, we need to protect Sonny and Beck who we cannot replace on Tuesday night vs Pompey.

True.

My only slight gripe with Eustace is he never really involves fringe players in reserve games. For his faults JDT had that part nailed down and i was a big fan of keeping everyone match fit. Injuries or suspensions are the main opportunity now for them.

I think he has at times. Or he did earlier in the season. 

I'm not sure he's had the opportunity to recently imo.

Think there was one last week.

Nice to see Mowbray there and in good spirits.

Free hit today. Hopefully see some of the kids and look forward to seeing Toth finally.

Any way to watch this one?

[davulsukur]

 

Toth starting?

If he isn't I'd be definitely questioning the investment in him.

It's not a free hit - we need to win a bloody game!

Dunnys lad on the bench. Still only 16 I think, getting good reports from the u21s about him.

[Cherry Blue]

Anyone got the team?

I didn't know that was his lad 😲

Let's hope his dad's been teaching him everything (maybe not rabona's) he knows!

No Doak for middlesbrough.

Can you watch the game anywhere 

[chaddyrovers]

Surprised Tronstad and either Batth or Hyam aren't rested 

Hoping Leonard scores today 

[roverandout]

David Dunn come out of retirement?
