[UK Redsox]

[UK Redsox]

#Boro XI: Dimi, Roberts, Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Howson, Forshaw, Tavernier, Wing, Bamford, Fletcher

[adrenachrome]

Fairly impressive reserve team on paper.

Micah Richards!

Blimey

[LukeJames]

Woyld've prefered Bree to get game time over Hutton but glad to see O'Hare and Doyle-Hayes in there.

Micah Richards!

Blimey

That wasn't the word that came out of my mouth when I saw his bloody name.

[UK Redsox]

Slipknot on the bench

I'd have liked to have seen Bree play. It'd be nice if we could get some winning momentum going.

They must be prepared to take the hit on any fee due in Jan because he's cuptied?

Teams left in the cup in January won't be after the likes of that waste of space.

With a carefully bit of bleeping, I think that Villa could run out to 'Vatican Broadside'

[tomd2103]

Lot of changes as expected.  Looking forward to seeing how O'Hare and Doyle-Hayes do and interested to see if De Laet is an option at LB.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Boro fans seem a bit upset with us. Poor little souls, what have we done to them?

who's the dirtiest, hardest and strongest tackler we have in the reserves. Some kind of undiscovered new Souness. Let him play and give him free rein. Show Villa what a bad tackle really looks like.

Probably the best part of 100K a week for Richards and Fat Ross to sit on the bench for cup games.
