Boro v QPR | Match Thread

[SheepRanger]

A point would be nice!

[Martinmalta]

Like you, I will be happy with a point. However, its very rare that we get a draw result. We either win or loose!

[daveshads]

I fear that if you offered Middlesbrough a team to play against right now, they would choose us.
Prove me wrong, please.

2-0 boro we just don’t look like scoring at the moment

Since the wheels sort of fell off, our home games haven't been too bad - it's mostly the away games we seem to lack zip and penetration.

With Smyth, Saito, Dembele, Chair and Yang available you'd hope we could play some fast tricky entertaining football. If we can avoid spending all game pissfarting about on the flanks and maybe slalom through the middle instead we might eke out some chances and grab a goal.

Have to wait and see if Varane and Frey are fit before committing to a prediction though.

Beginning to see a bit of a trend setting in and can’t imagine anything other than a defeat lm sorry to say

[72bus]

Judging on our last few games I can't see anything else bar a loss , but we live in hope .
Sometimes our team pulls one out of the bag .
We need a break .

fingers crossed we get something today .

Sadly we have history of taking our foot off the gas and thinking of the beach as soon as we think we’re safe - let’s hope we are!

I’d hope we have enough now as bottom 3 form needs to rapidly improve given they average under point a game 3 more points sufficient but I’d rather finish strong. At least chair can have a meal before ko tonight every time he goes on religious fast he’s pony

see who’s upfront tonight I’d give one of the kids a game almost a freebie

its certainly gonna be painful watching on Saturday if we don’t play a striker

Without a striker we are gonna have to adapt and play on the ground, unless we put Madsen there ? Might suit him ?

Good shout......he had an eye for goal last season in the Belgium league. Anything is worth a go.

Can't be confident going into the game but in this league you never know. In the spirit if goodwill, I really think that Jimmy should move on (upwards) at the end of the season. He has done us proud. Somebody else suggested it but how about trying Jimmy at CF? Stick him in the middle upfront and tell him to put himself about. At least the team would have a focal point and he would worry the hell out of some defenders.

Jimmy would certainly be as good as Frey on the physical side, or better. He's got an eye for goal too.

Jimmy up top and Madsen number 10 - sorted!!

Madsen wouldn't knock my 2 year old grand daughter off the ball,
