Bout time ! We beat this lot and stuffed whinging Warnock - team should be really up for it as they will have been bored like us - not sure we will see Kelly or Bright on the bench but their time is coming

There’s a player who made the most of what he had…

I don't recall us ever describing him thus, but a WBA supporting former work colleague referred to him as, 'Never give in Flynn'.

I liked him- was never the most technically gifted but all over the place, gave his all every game.

So are we saying Big Vic and Waggy with C'OH behind? or Big Vic with Allen and C'OH behind?

Crowd of 17,000 expected as per the club email - 2,500 Boro fans

Greggs · Sep 10, 2021

Ain't Wagehorn from around middlesborough area? He's definitely gonna be running around loads and trying his best if Hamer let's him take a corner.

SBAndy · Sep 10, 2021

Walker has done the pre-match presser so hopefully we’re going to see him and Gyokeres.

Must be in with a chance. Not been involved in any of the U23s this week has he?

Great_Expectations · Sep 10, 2021

Doubly excited for this; it’s the first time this season I can do my usual (well pre Brum / pre Covid) routine of lunch, ale, a nice walk along the canal and another ale or two after the game. The last few games have been purely about the game, but I’ve got a full pass out for this one! And secondly I hate international breaks, so glad it’s over and we can get back to real football.

Tomorrow will be a tough test due to how they will likely set up, but if we can play the high press and play on the front foot we have enough technically good players to cause issues.

Hoping to see big games from Sheaf, Hamer, COH and Gyokeres. All players capable of changing games. And not forgetting the ever reliably threatening Dabo.

Frustrating as he is, I would play Walker. His lackadaisical approach does him no favours, but there’s definitely ability and potential there. Gyokeres could be the perfect foil for him to really come good.

2-0, Gyokeres, Hyam.

Sort of feel that Gyokeres and Godden would be better, assuming Godden is fully fit.

Tickets sold a bit better now in the home end , more than against Reading ..

So I think about 19000

Happy_Martian · Sep 10, 2021

We're not beaten at home so far but I'm still concerned that the defence is suspect. Midfield, our Box formation is great at attacking the opposition but leaves us short up front. And Vik and Wagz do not work together as they're both very similar in style. So for me, it has to be either one to start with either Walker or God alongside.

We'll score (probably in the last 5 mins again ) but I can see 'Boro outscoring us. 1-3 defeat for Cov. But no sendings off.

Yeah, sales looking quite healthy actually. Should be a decent gate.

Greggs · Sep 10, 2021

Looking forward to this time tomorrow, it's usually when we score the winner!

Their only recognised left back Marc Bola is a doubt according to Warnock

As a concession, the club have confirmed that, if they have no left back, we will play DaCosta.

Paxman II · Sep 10, 2021

Another tricky one to call. You don't want to hand any momentum to other teams at this early stage of the season. Don't lose is the mantra I think. But, we have the players to win this one, it's just about the one's Robins plays. Bright on the bench I reckon. Godden starts with Gyokeres for me. Kelly maybe on the bench.

Largely due to the Robins/public transport variable, the value of your appraisals has shrunken to the testicular size of roid-munching weight lifters

Saw Flynn with Mick Hartford in town. I would not like to meet those two in a dark alley, they looked dog rough.

The Sky Blue Army fanzine did a version of this advert for him once but the changed Nike to Shite

Doing my homework on the Brum Derby game - fans crammed in to a couple of stands - Troy Deeney a very good signing - waiting to come on

Evo1883 · Sep 11, 2021

Yea , I'd be very surprised if there's just 17000 all in today ..

Sold better than reading definitely in the home end

Not far off as many as we'd sold for Forest from what I can see. Maybe 1K less at this stage, but fancy a decent walk up today.

kg82 · Sep 11, 2021

Hamer to score direct from a corner.

Sky Blue Harry H · Sep 11, 2021

Interested to see how that Ikpeazu is for them. Thought he was a lump a few years ago with Cambridge Utd (but not very good) yet seems to have made his way up the ladder. Surprised me if I'm honest

skyblue025 · Sep 11, 2021

The type of game Fadz should thrive in, will see how JCS can handle the physical side of things. Long ball and full press from them. Hopefully our better passing ability sees us through. Going for a 2:1 win but if we don't match up physically we will lose.

stevefloyd · Sep 11, 2021

Give them an extra shout from me today, I am in Wales with the trouble and strife probably with no bleeding signal on my phone so look forward to reading the match thread as it happens PUSB
