joey_big_nose Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Hmmmmmmmm..... News just out is that Todd and Reid are available for selection while Thompson is going to have to wait for another week. We have so many players now it is hard to see who to pick. Friedel, Short, Gray, Ferguson, Djorkaeff, Emerton and Dickov are- at the moment- automatic picks but beyond that it is all much of a muchness. I desperately want to see Stead, Pedersen, Reid, Bothroyd and particularly Gallagher given a decent crack of the whip but the only real likely starter out of that is Pedersen coming in for Jansen. Gallagher and Reid are going to struggle to even make the bench. Paul has a great range of passing, movement and finishes well- in many ways he is exactly the kind of player we need at the moment. Is there no way we can fit him into the team? I know it would reap dividends.

den Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Whether we have a fully experienced team or not, we are good enough to beat Blackburn The Middlesbrough perspective.
AussieinUk Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Doesn't Rovers have a complete squad to choose from? Its quite been a while since Rovers have had all players available
MCMC1875 Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Doesn't Rovers have a complete squad to choose from? Its quite been a while since Rovers have had all players available How long is it since none of the first team squad were injured?
Finch Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 hmmm havn't won away yet and we won't now 2-2 Actually that was last season score (at home) that's the only reason I picked it.
Oklahoma Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 when i look at the defense, i almost lose all my hopes of a win. But i'm an optimist!! So, 2-1 for us. Jansen and Djorkaeff.
bob fleming Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Don't think this has been posted... Sky Sports Preview. They reckon we'll win.
Quack Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 1-2 to Boro - I cant see our defence keeping out Downing / JFH / Viduka - sorry for the negativity.
John Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Getting a weird feeling for this one. Does not feel like we have a match tomorrow for some reason. Think he will play the same side against Villa- hopefully a 1-0 win against an off colour Boro.
jim mk2 Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Middlesbrough have far too much quality for us. Plus our international players will be knackered. Rovers 1 Boro 2
Alex Rover Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Middlesbrough have far too much quality for us. Plus our international players will be knackered. Rovers 1 Boro 2 Boro have got one point from the last possible nine and they have only scored one goal in five hours and 12 minutes of Premiership football. I think we can beat that. Blues 2 - Reds 0.
rebelzero Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Rovers 3 Boro 2 Emerton Hasselbank (2) Stead Gray
Alan75 Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Boro have got one point from the last possible nine and they have only scored one goal in five hours and 12 minutes of Premiership football. aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hate stats like that, especially when Rovers are involved. Looks like a shed full of goals and max points for Borough.
BRFC4EVA Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 C'mon the Rovers, we can do it. We need to be postitive and start defending set pieces and the results will come. The new regieme has started!!

frosty Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Middlesbrough have far too much quality for us. Plus our international players will be knackered. Rovers 1 Boro 2 International players? Exactly how many of them do we have? Boro have way more internationals than us, so that's a positive thing.
McClarky Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 We really need 3 points tomorrow don't we with the next couple of games coming up. Who's going to be available of Fergie, Emo and Neill? Either way I see us getting a 0-0 with 21,012 in attendance.
RoverDrake Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Will be tough, Boro are good defensively, plus JFH and Viduka are always going to be a threat. However, I'll go for 2-1 to Rovers but we will go a goal behind. My team would be: Friedel Neill Todd Amoruso Gray Emerton Ferguson MGP Djorkaeff Dickov Gallagher
mode_m Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Emerton seems to be on some what of a run so I'll go with him to score. "Boro has a good team so it will be a tough game, but with most of the blues back from injury hopefully Hughes will put together a good team. When are the set peices going to improve? Stead is gonna have to break this goal drought, he has been close lately with england so he is up for a streak. Rovers 2 - 1 Stead Emerton
SAS Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 2-2 for me, boro have been poor in their last few games.
roversmum Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 GGGGRRRRR, have just been watching Sky Sports news and previews of the matches. First we get " It's 8 years since Arsene Wegner came to Arsenal and here is a clip of his first match" - a win against guess who and they show one of the goals. Then when they get to the Boro/Rovers preview, what do they show but a clip of Boro scoring against us. In the light of that, I'm all fired up now. The score will be: Rovers 3: Mark Hughes, Mark Bowen and Eddie Neddy Boro 1; Own goal by the Linesman.
