Just bagged a last minute ticket. Not been this wary of a game in a long time.

We really have to show up tonight. 

No defensive errors. Playing to our strengths.

We need 30,000 people behind the team.

I'm nervous.

But if we play like we can, despite our long injury list, then we can win!!

Maybe the difference with Thorne is that we have eustace coming back as well so if Thorne gets injured we have a replacement. Weve coped ok without Thorne, but martin has been a big, big loss.

We need to score first. This season, Boro have only lost once when they've scored first, and only won once when they conceded first.

Something tells me with Thorne in our side, then we may just run run run run run away with a 1-0 win.

Who gives a **** what they think. They are the most tinpot club in the Championship - can't even half fill their ground in a promotion push - pathetic. I hope we give them a ******* beating tomorrow night and snap that floppy haired red dog ponce Bamford in half in the process.

Sounds as if Boro fans are just as unsure of their team selection as we are. 

And the formations some of the fans are suggesting are looking to nullify the centre mid - 2 holding. This seems strange, and maybe why their recent form on the road is so poor? Don't get me wrong, I really hope Bamford is up top on his own, think he'll need someone like Vossen/Kike to play along side.

I realise that what the fans suggest is not necessarily what Karanka will play, but they seem very defensive? Yes, they are solid defensively, but, against a team hit by injuries, which could see them open a gap at the top.. I'm surprised not to see them really go for it.
