PAGE 2 loads of fixture info. I think the 1996 team sheet is from a parallel world.

Pontins league, so 1996 reserves.

He’s put some good stuff in there, lots of memories in the photo’s, but who the hell was Stephen O’Halloran??

Made of glass full back I think

Boro down to bare bones and lost McGree (who I thought was their best player against us last season) as well now to the Asia Cup.

I fancy us to get a win

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

I agree McGree was outstanding against us at end of last season. It looks like he played recently against Huddersfield. Hopefully for us he has flown out to join Australia squad for our game with India.

Weather report from North Yorkshire, sunny and clear skies. No obvious other Sky Blues fans on train.

 

[Ashdown]

Happy New Year all. City to continue our unbeaten run ? Hearing about their injury crisis gives hope of grabbing back the points we chucked away against the Jacks…….

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We get whacked today

The play offs of course, but also tonking them first home game this season, they will be out for revenge and I think the last minute goal has knocked some stuffing out of us

Run ended

3 nil Boro

Not a cat in hells chance. Revisit this post, later!

 

[Gibbo]

This game is going to indicate one way or another how reliant we have become on Kitching.

On reflection cannot see a clean sheet without him, so it is down to Wright, Saka and O'Hare to get us an equalizer - or Bobby Thomas deciding to go rogue and show Ellis Simms how it's done

Got him from the Vile - a crap left-back

 

[procdoc]

Not feeling it today. Hungover to fuck and think we will get a pasting. Happy new year!

 

[Gint11]

I’ve changed my mind. We have the mental edge of these from last season. IF we get the first goal we’ll beat these 1-3

 

[fernandopartridge]

Their fans aren't particularly optimistic either

2 foot Carrick early doors!

 

[LastGarrison]

A lot of negativity considering how well we’ve played recently.

I fancy us to get something out of this.

 

[duffer]

Traditional hangover game. Cold day, silent crowd, two tired teams, 0-0, and feeling sick all the way home.

So obviously, having predicted that, it'll end up a nine goal thriller with three red cards and an injury time 20-yard, knob-volley winner from substitute striker... Wilson.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Collins
MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Eccles Sheaf
Sakamoto O’Hare Wright
Simms

2-1 city Wright and Sakamoto

 

[clint van damme]

20-yard, knob-volley

Someone got coaching manual for Christmas

It's like heading, the key is not to be scared of it and attack the ball.

[Martin180]

Full strength , apart from Kitching

 

[clint van damme]

That's the team I'd have gone with, happy with that

Probably the team needed against Swansea.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Have to be optimistic with that.

 

[skybluecam]

That team pumps Swansea 3-0

 

[stupot07]

Yeah happy with that team. At least it's only 1 change really from the side that has been playing the last month or so. Far too many changes on Friday.

That's our best team minus Kitching. Happy we're going for it.

Barlasar always seems to play well against us.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Hope for a win today...about time we won at 'boro...prediction is 2-1 (Wright & Simms)
On another note, Preston are currently losing 2-0 at Sunderland in the early kick off.
How on earth are they above us in the table with a GD of -13, when we are +8...bonkers ??

They have got more points than us.

I'm watching it, didn't have much to drink yesterday, but if I was nursing a hangover a game a game at the stadium of light would be ideal, nice and quiet.

Smell of the locals might push your tender stomach over the edge tbf.

Tough todat. Boro had a great run after a terrible start but it has spluttered a bit of late. Difficult to predict. We look stronger than them and all will depend on atmosphere, players attitude on the day etc. We have put a strong team out and will expect to be in with a chance of 3 points. Draw the most likely result.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Horrible place to have to go on New Year’s Day. Strongest team we have available for me with Palmer to make an impact later on.
