Birmingham Vs Middlesbrough *****Official Match Thread*****

[Mancgull]

Boro's BEST chance now is to SACK Krankie, he is such a NEGATIVE influence and get a MOTIVATOR in for the last match. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that this week

Too late for that!

So we now have 4 ways to go up (I think)

Win Win
Win Draw
Draw Win
Lose Win

Correct sir

 

[Hampster Gull]

That's not a bad call. A one off match. Karanka looks shot to bits.

He does. He looks Shattered

 

[Farehamseagull]

Correct sir

Nope, more than.

Could also do it depending in Burnley's results.

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

Correct sir

You forgot Win Lose

Just a couple of useful stats for any Boro fans looking in you will need to beat the the team who has only lost 2 away games all season and has the best current form of any team in the Championship .... *





*If we beat Derby

He REMINDS me of Cameron, a beaten JOKE of a man

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

So tonight's result means there will be much less pressure on Monday which may or may not be an advantage but it's a relief knowing that if we lose we can still do it.

 

[Mancgull]

Love the way that Sky are saying'if Boro beat Brighton next week, they will go up'. Let's keep the pressure on Boro....no one outside Brighton thinks we'll do it.

You never know QPR may pop up with something at Burnley on Monday

Listening to the Middlesborough fans phone in and they honestly don't rate us at all. They're talking like they have gone up and they will smash us next week. Not one fan has said they have any worries about that game. 33,000 fans next week backing them and that means they will win and i think if anything we will be up for the challenge and they won't have it as easy as they think.

Looked like he was about to do himself in during that post match interview. If I was Gibson i'd be looking back to the Norwich play off final and wondering to myself whether Karanka can lift his players to see off the Albion next Saturday. At this stage it looks unlikely.

Poyet to Middlesbrough?

 

[Farehamseagull]

Steve Gibson and Karanka both looked like really stressed tonight. They're massively feeling the pressure.

 

[Ernest]

Just replaying the interview with Krankie, he looks ILL tonight. If I was GIBSON I'd RELIEVE him this week of the pressure and stick someone else in to GEE up the players and FIRE them up. If he does they have a chance if not we'll be OK

 

[Tarpon]

Boro home record to date = W16 D4 L2
Our away record to date = W9 D11 L2
While Monday will not decide anything it is MASSIVE.
A Hull win at Bolton Sat lunchtime would help.
What a time to be alive.

You never know QPR may pop up with something at Burnley on Monday

Even if did, would mean they'd have to not win versus Charlton too.
