Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May (9 Viewers)

[Johhny Blue]

Our best chance is if it goes to a penalty shootout
After 90 mins another 0-0

Not sure they’ll let us go to penalties after 90 minutes though

Riley McGree did to Gus what we joked Panzo should do to Akpom. dozy fucking ref nor lino even saw it, but surely if all the officials are miked up, couldn't the 4th official get in the ref's ear? Boro player has fouled Cov player off the ball is all it needs, they converse over other decisions like pens, so why not deliberate fouls?

Someone put the video up he didn’t do anything it wasn’t a foul

Genuinely can’t see vik on those training photos

Rest day for Gus and Vik. Robins said after the 1st leg recovery was the key. I imagine this is part of that recovery.

They'll both play tomorrow.

Fucking hope so edge

why would they just rest vik? Importance surely

 

[Matt smith]

To be fair I can’t see sheaf either

 

[Matt smith]

Don’t go there

 

[edgy]

Rest your most important, irreplaceable players. They know what they are doing, they are match fit. Tactical stuff can be done in the classroom so to speak.

Not worth the risk of the final training session.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Players missing in the gallery appear to be:

Walker
Hamer
Gyok
Sheaf

Players could easily be given more time to prepare for tomorrow, lets wait for tomorrow's team sheet comes before we start to panic.

 

[AOM]

Waghorn winner incoming

Todd Kane playing upfront with Julian Da Costa in goal.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Fucking hope so edge

Callum O’Hare tearing a muscle the day before the season is probably why

 

[David O'Day]

I'll worry about what team we put on about a hour before kick off, no point in getting in a tizzy over it.

We can beat Boro with or without Hamer, they are a team that finished a few points a 1 place above us. It's not like we are playing Man City, their a decent team but really not unbeatable.

nor Godden ? - maybe some shooting practice
Either that or KP45 and Sean McGuire are going to be the front 2

Seany Mc is in 2 training pictures, I mean people are guessing the team based on them it seems.

How good did people say this Justin Obikwu was again for the U21's?

Based on his performance against Stourbridge on Friday he's nowhere near ready yet.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Who’s on the bench?

That's a tough one with the injuries and suspensions we have, but I've got to go for:

Gary Breen
Gary Breen

Bollox! I can see Vik peeking through the trees in the third photo.

Anyway, good chance they're playing mind games with Boro, purposefully left certain players out the photos to sow doubt about the line-up. Harder to prepare for.

Silly me I completely forgot about extra time DOH!
Having said that I think it will be 0-0 at the end of 90mins and will remain like that after extra time

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Has anyone got a problem with me starting in the next 30 minutes?
( PMT ) kicking in early ..Pre match tension

 

[shmmeee]

Ill take a 0-0 shithouse win on pens all day long.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Is Hamer out ???????????

 

[Macca]

Ill take a 0-0 shithouse win on pens all day long.

Shithousery needs to peak tomorrow

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Is Hamer out ???????????

No he is still denying it. Let him inform us in his own time. Who are we to judge?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

If Hamer is out it’s the perfect well of course if he’d played we’d have won
Also if he plays and comes off injured we’d have won if he’d played the whole game
Also if he’s not fit to start

you get the point

 

[Johhny Blue]

Ill take a 0-0 shithouse win on pens all day long.

I’m more afraid of choosing 5 penalty takers

 

[Matt smith]

Ill take a 0-0 shithouse win on pens all day long.

Imagine the nerves on pens, we’ll worry about that tomorrow

 

[Covcov]

What's the thoughts on the ref now that highlights have been watched?
