September 7, 20178 yr So, are we ignoring this & hoping it goes away ? Boro spent a fortune in the summer, including a £15m striker, while we've got a midfield including the likes of Pratley & Deryk who can't cover the defence, can't win or retain posession in midfield, can't create chances & would struggle in div 1. It's not defeatist but accepting reality to guess that we're unlikely to win this one, but when we can pick our best team against the weaker sides, we can still pick up the points to reach the giddy heights of 4th from bottom. This Saturday, i'm hoping for the best but ready for the worst !!
September 7, 20178 yr Surely from the evidence of the first five games Parky will see this wing back system isn't working and stick four at the back. If he does that, I quite fancy us to get a point. If not, I fear the worst.
September 7, 20178 yr Going to be optimistic and say 2-1 to shut the 4K travelling fans up Is that how many they have sold ??
September 7, 20178 yr It's the 5th year running I've missed a home game to go to the Monday Club racing trip to Haydock and we haven't won any of the previous 4. This will be no different. 1-1
September 7, 20178 yr It's the sort of game we seem destined to lose So I'll go for BWFC 2 - Bob Mortimer XI 1

Let's not use the budget thing before we've even started Aye they've spent 40m but Preston went to their place and got a 0-0 Our chances depend on whether players and management have learnt owt from our previous 3 home games in terms of set up and organisation Take a draw then build on it to beat sheff utd But Parky and the players need to approach it differently to how we have so far
September 7, 20178 yr If we fail to win any of our next 2 home games I fear the worst. Draw at best, but I think we'll beat SU.
September 7, 20178 yr I'm going watching Leyth rugby so no doubt we'll win this one and lose on Tuesday.

However PP shuffles the players or tactics, it remains a bunch of free transfers & loanees ( missing some of our better players ) against multi million pound players. There can be exceptions or cup shocks but with such a financial imbalance, a rich club will beat paupers in the vast majority of games.

We weren't being outclassed by the big boys They need to learn they have to turn up, that'll do for starters
September 7, 20178 yr Did you see the defending against hull and derby? We weren't being outclassed by the big boys They need to learn they have to turn up, that'll do for starters in one All cheap goals especially hull we lost the ball in silly areas that's jack to do with being a loanee or a free transfer player
September 7, 20178 yr I haven't go a Scooby , it feels like the season is starting again but without the optimism that I went to Millwall with. Somehow we must at least get a draw.
