The key to beating Boro

[Raskolnikov]

Both Brum goals shots from outside the area, perhaps we could try that.

They were also both absolute beauties that would do well in any goal of the season competitions

Stop our back four conceding silly free kicks just outside of the penalty box with reckless challenges and we will be ok. That big word concentration for 90 mins to the job in hand.

Give Rhodes a free shot from six yards...he tends to play cross bar challenge from there..that's what £9m buys you.;

I don't like posts like this. Especially with us still to play them in what will probably a Promotion decider. Not that I particularly disagree with it. I am just afraid that the next Headline might be ''That's what £9 million buys you'' if he scores the winner against us that denies us Promotion.

I would rather wait till after the Boro game to say something so long as we are up by then.

True. I have noticed we're not the greatest at defending from them.

the trick is not to give away silly free kicks in our half which we have a habit of.

...and run at them in theirs so Knocky and Jiri get to do their stuff. Whenever we get a free kick in a decent area we look bloody dangerous now - Skalak in particular.

Middleborough's strength is their defence but judging by last night Richie De Laet will not be able to handle The Knock and Hemed will have success against the centre backs. We just need concentration at the back.

Wise words BG

Scoring more or the same amount... thread closed.

Stop Gaston Ramirez......

If we win on Monday, we don't have to beat Derby but, a win and who knows? Maybe Burnley will lose, in which case we can have a promotion party on Monday. As long as we knock a few goals in against Derby !!!

Was a bit surprised by how poor De Laet looked. Though he was just a stand-in for the excellent George Friend, who you'd assume would be straight back in the side when he's fit.

Didn't think Konstantonopolous looked all that in goal either. Bag of nerves. Nearly gifted Blues a goal early when he flapped at a soft shot but Donaldon scuffed the rebound. I'm convinced he should have done better with Birmingham's first goal too. Chocolate wrists.

That said, Ayala is probably the best centre half in the league, and whilst Gibson isn't up at that level, as a pairing, they're very solid indeed. Hope Jiri is bang on the money with his deliveries.

I was pissed last night. Don't judge me the day after.

I don't disagree but Donaldson outmuscled them a fair bit last night.
