I doubt there will be £10m left at all. There's operational/infrastructure costs to account for and unless I've missed something the club still owe over £2m to the EFL which I doubt DK will happily bridge himself.

Unleash Maguire.

Given we need 4 CBs they'll likely be back ups.

Likely loan fees for Gelhardt and Diallo also. Both wages won't be cheap either.

I'm not really saying they won't be... As I indicated in my previous post I suspect they'll cause us issues in the second half when they can utilise their bench to try and change the game if needed, or sustain momentum if they're in the lead. We don't particularly have that luxury. It's pretty...

Completely misread my post but fine.

Their bench is far superior and they've made several substitutions in both fixtures which will help with R&R for their players. Equally, given their age I think McFadz and Kelly will be feeling it tonight. It's a big ask, especially for Kelly who hasn't really played all that much this season...

Pretty much the same. First goal is vital. If we get it then I think we stand a chance of winning. If we go into the break trailing or it's all evens then I think we'll struggle. Fatigue and squad depth is likely going to play a big factor in deciding this result. Everyone bar Eccles has played...

And you're a complete imbecile.

Penalty shootouts are a lottery. On paper Middlesbrough have a far better lineup but really on the day I think it comes down to mentality.

Surely it depends on what his motives are doesn't it and who's side he's really on? Given who his employers are that should really give you an indication.

I mean his several bogus takeover attempts should give you some semblance of an indication.

I don't doubt that he wants the club to do well. But don't be so naive to think that he doesn't hold his personal profile over what's best for the club.

Agreed. Understandably there were nerves and it was vital we didn't lose, but really it was a performance you'd expect of an away PO fixture, not a home one.

It's a futile argument though as by definition they're not on target. I don't really get why posters are so hung up on this. Credit where it's due Middlesbrough forced us to resort to said long shots that probably would've been saved anyway if on target. They were excellent defensively as we were.

To be honest they've been saying that for the past two games. To anyone remotely sensible it's clear that they just struggle to break us down.

I think Robins probably had a word at half time to get the forwards to be more aggressive with their GK. During the first half he was taking the piss.

I think this is what I found frustrating. Robins obviously didn't want the players overcommitting themselves and creating pockets of space for Middlesbrough to exploit which was a fine tactic. But I felt the players almost took it too literally. To the point where they were more focused on...

See edited post.

Jesus wept. A blocked shot, as long as it isn't blocked by a last man, doesn't count as a shot on target...
