North East Ram Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 More points dropped tonight and their fans are going almost as crazy as ours. It's Hull and Burnley now for me and a complete lucky dip of the current top 8 for the play offs. Sheff Wed have the momentum. Is anyone confident we can pull a rabbit out the hat in time for the run in? I'm not ruling it out. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacehorse Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Brighton have momentum also. We can still do this. If I really didn't think it possible I wouldn't have been checking the Boro score every 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subliminally I must believe we can do it then as I've refreshed bbc football far too many times for someone who isn't bothered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 There's nothing to say that Hull won't lost four or five on the trot. It's an amazing league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Boro like us continually bottle it every time they have a chance of pushing on, we've blown good point buffers over the team in 3rd for the past 2 seasons and so have Boro Can't help but think other clubs fans are looking at us and Boro with a small grin on their faces, we've both spent millions in the hope of pushing on, but both continue to choke when the door opens ajar, and Boro have spent 10+m on a striker as well, Gibson must be c****** his pants.

North East Ram Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes, rule nothing out in the Championship. Although I feel Hull weathered their blip around Xmas with minimal damage. They're just so steady, have retained their Prem team and Bruce has done it before. I also agree that there's probably fans of other teams that are enjoying a bit of Derby and Boro schadenfreude. I do it to other teams every weekend with a check to see who has hopefully beaten notts forest, leeds, man utd etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColchesterRam Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't see Boro sacking their manager.... They must be still playing the Boro way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Bora like to sit back with their two defensive midfielders and if the opposition don't play to them they struggle to look take the lead hence all those 0-0 scorelines but if they take the lead they are ok.

North East Ram Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Similar but not exactly like us, other teams have sussed them out a bit. Boro are very cautious and safety first. Not conceding seems to be their priority. As you say, at 1 up, they then tend to push up more and then they are rarely beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think the only chance is through the play offs. If we hold on in the top 6 until the end of the season we might, just might have sorted our on field antics out and start playing well hopefully. Plus Hughes could be back to score the winner at Wembley!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipad1977 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 As a Boro fan we have several of our first-teamers out at the mo, part through injury, part through suspension now. That's what did for Brighton over Xmas, the only reason we haven't had as bad a run as them is the fact we have more strength in depth, same as Derby have more than Brighton. For this reason you have to look at the money thrown at the squad as a good thing. Soon as we get them all back and firing it should be the same for us as them, Win,win,win,win. It's all about hanging in the top pack till the inevitable form dip is over then blasting clear when we hit the good form with a fully fit and eligible squad. Thanks to the cushion acquired earlier we have managed to do this so far, if we can do it for the next 2 games we should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokidoki Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 For the folks that saw this on Sky I am surprised that no one has commented (although we hate Leeds) that they did a job on 'Boro. They controlled the middle and boro looked narrow apart from the odd through ball that they could not finish. This league is about homework by the lesser teams (as well as the better ones) and with TV analysis each team can try their best to cancel each other out - Leeds were very effective. We need to realise that this is what is being done to DCFC on weekly basis and perhaps for the first time this year 'boro went 442 for the last 20 or so (from the standard 4231), this means that even Karanka did a Clement by trying to force things by changing shape. Cast your mind back to SMc and the "Derby Way" times - a lot of the goals came in the final third by enterprise substitution. We don't have the impact substitution players now as they have signed (Ince) or gone elsewhere or are playing well for their own clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TETRA Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just watched highlights of Brighton's last three home wins online. Blimey they look to have gone up a level or two since I last saw them play. They look like scoring every time they break forward. Their present squad has loads of experience & technical ability. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they beat Hull tonight in the form their in right now. They could still be the surprise package come May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly,thats what makes the last week so annoying and frustrating.As the season gets to the conclusion its important to hold your nerve and show some balls. Unfortunately we blinked first and have made it far more difficult for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
