Yes, I learned to like the results-first football last season, it was a means to an end. We're not going to turn into Liverpool overnight, just because we've been promoted. But the bloke who sits next to me at PP last season moaned at every game, and didn't even stay behind for the promotion party. I think I need to develop a thicker skin or move seats (again!)

Not because I'm a doom and gloomer, but because I just think we need a few more weeks to find our feet. Granted, we should have found them during pre-season to be honest but I'm willing to go with it for now Some of our build-up play in isolation looks decent. If the lads aren't too downbeat after a few losses, I think we'll be alright. Keep the faith, I'm expecting 0 points after first 3 games but a slight improvement in each game. Then, beat Bristol and Cardiff and get a decent draw at Sheff United and have 7 points from opening 6. And I'd take it as a newly promoted team. Then kick on from there. I hope I'm wrong and we start picking up points sooner, obviously I can’t go to my first home league game without at least some hope. Yet I agree, in general, we won’t be quick out of the blocks. I’m expecting a tricky/ torrid first 6/7 games with a lot of pressure on PW when the results aren’t what we hope for. I have a good feeling for the season as a whole though. It will come together, we just need to be patient and stick with the lads regardless. (I think that’s what supporters should strive to do but don’t always achieve 🤪) DerbyAleMan, Sweetness34 and Archied 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WystonRam Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Why does Michael Carrick think Middlesbrough is “obviously a big game for us”. ? Apart from it being a marker in where we are against an established championship team it is not a “big game”. (In my opinion ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufferingfool Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Feels like a big game to me. First home game back in the Champ plus against a team tipped to be in and around the promotion places. Hope we create a big game atmosphere. Can’t wait. jono and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's our first home game back in the championship, should be a good crowd so I see it as somewhat of an occasion. More to do with that less about the team we're playing.

Ram1988 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I have a lot of respect for Carrick. He has turned Boro around but Gibson is a absolute banker. Horrible man who tried to put the nails in the coffin for our club... Sheff Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Ram Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 After Boro's 3:0 demolition of Leeds at Elland Road in the League Cup mid-week, Saturday is looking even tougher. I'd take a 0:0 now. Deffo need our 12th man (the fans) to play their part. jono and Ram-a-lama fa fa fa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, still just under 2000 tickets remaining and if I was a casual fan, I would probably think twice at £37/ticket. Hopefully we will get close to 30,000. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Going to be hard. Middlesbrough are full of confidence after Leeds game.Their bench will be so much stronger than ours. We need to start on the front foot straightaway. Depends on how Warne sets us up. I am expecting a loss even though I am overall optimistic about the season. A draw would be a bonus to build on. We need to sign 3 to 4 more players before window shuts. Still I am going and shouting my lungs out no matter what. Let's get behind the lads as B4 will be looking down on us! UTR!

There's little better in life than some kooky headwear on a matchday. Why not rally the troops, get word out, and when it comes big, stand back and tell everyone "That's down to me, that"! #I'm in #curlywig saturday #it's gonna be big #etc angieram and Steve How Hard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
