Ok last thing il say , watch the replay and tell me dasilva doesnt move across the back of the forward rather than the way you are making it out.

I've watched it a load, just rewatched it again. I get the argument for it, and I'm not shocked it was given, or that Lampard would say what he did. I don't agree with them for all the reasons I've said.

Think the atmosphere will be awesome, even though it is 12:30. Usually, never as good as 15:00 (less time getting pissed), but think this will be the exception.
Am I paranoid or do the refs have it in for us at the moment?
The team that keeps their nerve will win. The goalie that keeps their nerve will have a big influence on the game. No comment on individuals.
My biggest worries are how many of our squad are 100% fit to play, or that one worldie a season the opposition score. Also, how tired we are after recent games.
Think JDS sending off was correct but the player who kicked Eccles should have been sent off. See also Tatsu against Plymouth. The rules are clear about violent conduct even if it is a pathetic kick.

Let’s just hope that our replacement drummer turns up , to help give us, the noisiest CBS yet !
Non stop lads & lasses ….. even if things go awry , which is unlikely , but let’s give them the massive backing they deserve.

It will be, and could be as good as we've had there if we start well and make good chances early. Buzzing.
Even with players missing wer‘e a different team at home, maybe wrong but is it 8 wins from 10, only lost to Leeds and Burnley. sets up perfect for us mboro have to win, wright, grimes and rudoni have been class in big games like this for us, hopefully Thomas and mve back as well, can’t wait

If we win great. Let’s see what happens in the play offs, although I don’t think we’ve got any bottle for it.

If anything it’s last chance saloon for some players futures at the club.

Not refereeing decisions? We certainly rode our luck when it came to scoring last minute winners and so on but these are things where you ‘make’ your own luck. Refereeing decisions aren’t neatly in that category.
Might help if city players shithouse like everyone else! Allan should have been rolling on the floor from Bundu's double assault and Eccles should have gone down after Jones kicked him, that's how you make refereeing decisions turn your luck.

Bristol will beat Preston, I’m sure of that. We win we take 6th and have to face the blunts .

I just worry that some of Boro's best results have come away from home.
But while we have crucial injuries and it's a must win game we have no right to a play off place if we can't turn in a performance and see it over the lin
By definition, it can't be "must win" if a draw and other results going our way mean we get there. There's no such thing as a right to a play-off place - get the requisite points tally and we're in.

I have a feeling that a draw won’t be enough. I can just see one of the two below us getting an unlikely win.

It’s going to be some atmosphere though and what will be will be.
An early goal.and I can see a decent atmosphere. If not it'll be a nervy atmosphere and has the potential of being a bit flat really.

Top 6 doesn’t change, just hope we can nick 5th, but your right, a convincing win going into the play offs or scrape a draw and stumble in, 3-1 cov

No excuses. It was like this at Plymouth. Loud for 5 minutes and then everyone stood on their phones.

Forget that and get behind the team.

I am not confident we will beat Middlesbrough.

Hoping a draw will be enough to see us through to the playoffs. 🤞

Will feel a lot more optimistic if MVE and Thomas are back, mind.

For the same reason as some of the posts before mine, I just think we can't just keep getting the better of Middlesbrough, every time we play them.

Might change my mind by Saturday, but as it stands right now, I don't think we will win.

Nah, they are the kind of team we play best against.

Also we can't keep being shite

Well, yup, that is the saving grace and also we have had a bit of ill-luck of late (Plymouth and the lack of a red card and Luton, the same)

Wright needs to be on his game and we could really do with MVE back.
