[R] Middlesbrough Match Talk and Results [R]

[gaijin]

I have it on good authority that this will be the team tomorrow in a 3-5-2 formation.

..............Schwarzer
.....Riggott Southgate, Queudrue
Parnaby.....................Reiziger
....Morrison Doriva Downing
...............Job JFH

Wrong, McClaren is going 442.

Parnaby is playing the holding role in the centre alongside Doriva, he could switch it though.

They need to investigate why he's had 3 major breaks in under 2 years, this isnt just a coincidence.

So you're thinking this isn't just from him drinking not enough milk, eh? :)

Ya, I'd start to wonder if there's something up with the density of his bones or something.

[gaijin]

Sorry, looking at it, they have reverted to 352.

HT

0-0

Good Schwarzer save, but Bolton are just plain poor, we should be able to beat this sh***e.

[ERIMUS]

They always were playing 3-5-2, just poor stuff from sky sports.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[gaijin]

Would love us to score at the death and give them a little taste of thier medecine.

:rolleyes:

[gaijin]

Well, I don't know if that's a good result or not?

I guess I'll take the point so we can continue to pick up points at home. Our form at the Riverside is pretty good this year. :)

[ERIMUS]

great defending, Job missed some good chances. We could have taken all 3 points right at the end with JFH but a point will do me.

[ERIMUS]

Graz away next, Parlour and Zenden back :)

[ERIMUS]

My guess at the lineup:

Schwarzer, Reiziger, Queudrue, Riggott, Ehiogu, Morrison, Downing, Zenden, Parlour, JFH, Job

[gaijin]

The good thing about the Graz game is that we have a week between matches so we can prepare for the whole week just for that return home match.

I would be happy with a draw or maybe even a narrow loss with an away goal (2-1) or something.

Surely they were missed this weekend. A real lack of midfield creativity vs Bolton. Schwartzer had a couple of nice saves...

[gaijin]

Its currently snowing like crazy in Austria - :(

Outlook for Graz:

Wednesday: Snow showers (-5C ish)

I think its Wednesday......right?

The outlook isn't good, it looks as if Boro will have to battle against the conditions. I just hope any showers can stop for the match, but what affect that will have on the pitch, I don't know.......

Fingers crossed.

[gaijin]

:eek: Looks as if its going to be cold! Austria Vienna's game was postponed today, so it looks really on the cards wheteher the Boro game will go ahead or not.

[ERIMUS]

Team tonight, most likely 4-4-2.

Schwarzer, Reiziger, Queudrue, Riggott, Southgate, Morrison, Downing, Zenden, Parlour, JFH, Job

[ERIMUS]

Andrew Davies is in the squad for tonight's game after a month's loan with QPR.

[Bluto11]

ok,so I just saw that Boro are up 1-0, 2nd half just started and they are playing at Arnold Schwarzenagger Stadium. awesome

[gaijin]

2-2

Bit pissed off at some of the defending, but to go to the current Austrian champions and score two away goals is not that bad.

They are usually poor away from home and I'll expect that we can win the home leg.

And on a plus, their dangeman Kollmann will be banned, unless they win the appeal

The ref was rubbish and should never have sent him off. Still........

[ERIMUS]

He's their best striker so we should be pleased :p

Bad defending today but good attack...

[ERIMUS]

Boro game tonight :)
