February 24, 201511 yr it's a few, but for me up until Sat it wasn't or shouldn't have been an issue the back 5 was pretty much picking itself and there was no one injured who'd walk straight back in we had options in midfield, the only player we were really missing is Pratley - MDavies and Clayton are injured but may not necessarily get back in ahead of Clough or Janko I suppose the arguement could be having to play loan signings disrupts your plans/flow - but likewise up front I'm not sure CDavies would be picked ahead of Le Fondre Problem is that the players that have been out, Craig Davies, Heskey, Pratley, Mills are all big powerful types. I thought we were bulldozed by stronger more physical Forest at times, especially in midfield, and looked at our team and thought we had a team of midgets out there in comparison. I know Lennon has said similar. There is a big weakness in our squad that without Pratley we lack presence in midfield. Have to sort that for next season. I think Craig Davies would be picked if he was fit because, away from home especially, he'd make the ball stick more and we lack that. Le Fondre as good as he's been is not able to take enough pressure off the back four and midfield away from home as he's not that type really.
February 24, 201511 yr Good luck to all going tonight. Hope you get rewarded with a result. I've done my share of mad midweekers and lost -cause trips in the distant past. The really important games start on Saturday. Win them & we're fine. Don't win them & serious trouble looms.
February 24, 201511 yr 3-1 us, back with a bang *i havnt been drinking either That's the spirit. 90/1 on Betfair btw.
February 24, 201511 yr To get any result tonight were gong to have to dominate possession for long periods of the game because if they have enough possession they will break us down,it is going to have to be a pass,move and retain possession master class to get anything out of this game. I am not expecting much, but COYWM surprise me.
February 24, 201511 yr I applaud anyone going tonight. Hope you can bring back the points. Unfortunately, we're likely to get dry bummed. Bernie Slaven to get a ponful.

February 24, 201511 yr Is Dan pissed yet? No where to be seen yet! Been talking to a couple of borough fans who reckon they will get a hatful tonight after loosing on Saturday . Couldn't disagree really
February 24, 201511 yr The really important games start on Saturday. The really important games start tonight. Can't afford to keep writing fixtures off.
February 24, 201511 yr Has McNaughton been rubbing shit into Lennon's eyeballs? Baffling decision he's not involved, experienced, talker, not the quickest but decent. Dont see point of him actually being here now, know its a season long loan but he must be wondering what needs to happen for him to get a game.
February 24, 201511 yr Have Boro scored yet ? Looks like NL is resting players for the upcoming 'winnable games'. That line-up looks like lambs to the slaughter, but you never know. Edited February 24, 201511 yr by Rembrandt
February 24, 201511 yr The really important games start tonight. Can't afford to keep writing fixtures off. Why? We aren't in a relegation battle according to yourself. And we sure aren't troubling the top 6!

February 24, 201511 yr Lennon mentioned after the Forest debacle, that he doesn't have a quick right back available and that's why Ream played at right back last Saturday. Lennon obviously thinks McNaughton is a slug!
