Middlesbrough - Sat 17th Feb (H) - 15:00

[Happy Fox]

Morgan Rogers was a key player for them who is now at Aston Villa, I think it will be a low scoring game but we will come out on top another 2-0 win.

We've noticed, young man.    I know it’s been tough, and I for one am impressed with your self-control.

I won't bite - and I wish I were young still, sometimes.

Gud trigh...

Be interesting what team he goes with here as we play Leeds away on the following Friday. There is enough recovery time in between the two games though and I wouldn't want us to change too much against Boro as they can be tough to beat on their day, even though they are having a very inconsistent season. We owe them for the defeat at their place so another 2-0 Will do nicely 

[Dr The Singh]

Boro will sit back and make it tough, hard to break down.  Our attacking players have to be on form.

 

Going a goal up and then dropping off and slacking is a big no no for this we need 100%, cut throat play.

[WigstonWanderer]

Their recent form hasn’t been that great. 5 points from the last 5.

It is prepping for a prem level squad. Yunus is a good player but it’s very difficult to see him being a consistent tier one performer which is what we need.

What says blind faith of some fans that others will be better than Akgun,

who hasnt made one bad step…

What we need what we get and the compromise Enzo ,Rudkin will have to work out.

I know it’s a forum,and all opinions respected,but let’s see other than feeling,

why we should buy blindly for the sake of it…

It got us into trouble in the first place…

and sorry what the fk is a proven Tier one performer…

 

We need IMO a skillfull hard bastard…but since the title year,

Manutd & bigger clubs has proven they are hard to find

and their “Fernandes” is just an irritating snowflake..

We need to find the balanced quality that can develope within 

Enzo ideology & system….

That could be a budget Italian/other European/African

or some signing from left side thought pattern…

But it/they won’t be something from the Tielemans,

budget or assumed quality category..

[oxtonfox]

Tricky game, I think we’ll edge it 2-1. Similar team to Tuesday night, maybe rest Justin. Perhaps replace Pratt who’s neat but a little lightweight and bring Daka back in.

It all changes in the summer assuming we go up.

That’s the  or my point , ..

Because of promotion,

FFP, Enzo reassessment of compromise & player availability around the

markets,Club backup and support. Players ready to resign or loan players

available and club able to invest thereof…

 

The old way of thinking,even opinionating is/has changed(ing)

from within the mainstream clubs,that means the fans have to

reassess their thoughts,

but I am an old codger,and don’t believe old ways always fit

I can accept and go with the flow and where it wanders..

 

Interesting a new way & day is a dawning…innit

Mcatee is younger than Akgun and has already shown he can play in the PL, scoring and assisting in a poor Sheff U side. 

 

Also on the back of a good season in the Championship.

 

I think Enzo would pick him over Akgun in a flash

 

Considering he had a tour around the training ground this summer. 

Fair banter,but then closing out some Turkish decent buys might open

a different market…

Lets not forget those emotional celebrations,they can open doors..

I wouldn’t say no to both..

[Leicesterpool]

Middlesbrough so inconsistent this season, one minute they look good and decent; well organised etc, the next minute they look woeful and disjointed. There a team if you hit them right you can really exploit their vulnerable defence. I can see this being some hammering for Middlesbrough, 4-0 Foxes! I just feel once we get into our flow against the red boro, there won't be anything stopping us.

[jimsmallman]

Going to this on Saturday. First game in person for four years because of living over here. 
 

Am also taking my lad for his first ever game, and he doesn’t even know I’m coming back to see him for a few days (let alone the game) so that’s a double whammy of surprise. He will be educated in not making a sign asking for a shirt. 
 

Obviously because all of this we will now lose and I am very sorry to you all.

Good, because if you went to this on Sunday you'd be late.

[moore_94]

Hayden Hackney went off injured last night and he is a big loss for them if he misses our game

[foxfanazer]

No reason not to go full strength in this one

[Raj]

Normally go into a game settling for a draw or a 1-0 but feck this...im going for a 5-1 win...take that and take that @HighPeakFox not one spelling mistake!!

I normally spell 'feck' slightly differently

Skills. Are we also being judged on grammar too? 🤔

[LVFox]

McAteer & Daka for Praet and Vardy. We will need the additional energy in midfield.

 

I bleated on about needing 3 wins, a draw and a loss from each set of 5 games a few weeks back. A draw will do, I back us to win every match at the moment though.

[Harpenden Fox]

They have 24 hours less recovery time than us, which can only help our ‘pass the opponent into oblivion’ strategy

[CosbehFox]

I have said elsewhere but if we win on Saturday, that's 81 points - enough points to get you automatically promoted last season. 

[Clever Fox]

We owe them one after the last game,  When a rash challenge by Hamza which led to a terriffic free kick from Greenwood.

 

I'd go with the same lineup as last Saturday. I thought we were excellent first half. So why change the team if everyone is fit and available.

 

A little more passion and intensity and we should be fine.  2-1 to us.

[Pita]

It’s a shame we can’t play the full 90 mins second half have been a bit iffy
