2-0 down by half time, Bruce to get a Bolton moment of abuse. Lose the game 2-1

I'm not sure we have ever beaten a Monk team? Nice time to do just that. Sadly, I think they will be more organised and do us by 2 to 1. I would throw Kodjia in and try to get an hour out of him if we can.

1-1.
We'll play better and be leading but will concede late so SB following the RDM self destruction manual to the letter.

I'd put the following out given the injuries;
Same back five of Johnstone, Taylor, Terry, Chester and Bree.
Adomah, Jedinak, Hourihane, Elmo in midfield with Snodgrass in behind Hogan.

I expect us to play better and win the game. We are nowhere near as bad as our display yesterday suggests.
It is just abundantly clear that this manager, after a year of trying, is not capable of establishing a high enough win ratio to secure promotion from this division- the ONLY thing that really matters to the future of the club.

Home games against Boro are rarely memorable, sadly I think this one will be for the wrong reasons. Us 1 Them 2.

Can see the old guard being put in for us. Bree apparently had a poor game so would fully expect Hutton back in if he isn't injured.
I can also see Jedinak starting....alongside Whelan.
Get on the prozac folks.
Boro always used to be a strange fixture when we played them in the premier league. We'd go up there and it would be the easiest away game of the season yet they always seemed to get at least a point at VP.

I can't see us getting anything from this one. Adama will probably be MOTM. I am going 0-1 or 1-2 to Boro. Decent side but not always a massive goal threat. Has Gestede been playing for them? haven't heard or read his name for a while.

He scored a couple for them in August. Assombalonga their main man upfront.
Thought Downing was out of favour but he's playing for them again.

Looking at their website, Boro fans have been raving about Traore's performance yesterday and what I saw on Channel 5, he looked unstoppable. He's clearly going to be up for it on Tuesday.
Birmingham Mail have done a poll asking if we were right to sell him. 55%, including me, said no.
