It took me a while to figure out what should go in the Details field but realised it it should be the ACN on the card.

If we lose up there we're fucked. Pulis would come to VP and park the bus and defend their lead. We've shown this season we lack a plan B when we go behind. Even last week, Derby were the most defensive team I've seen at VP this season and we could only manage a 1-1.

Only one position up for grabs on the team, which of Jedinak, Whelan or BB partners Hourihane? I'd go with Jedinak. Think Bruce has rotated the squad well in recent weeks so our first choice players should be relatively fresh for next week.
I would not start with Hourihane.
His goals are useful but too many games he is completely anonymous.

I think you will find a goal always trumps anonymity😊

However what about the attendance figures? Surely that’s important😉

And the one's that turn up will be embarrassing. No atmosphere.

If Boro get ahead over the 2 legs we are fucked.
So the first goal will be decisive I think.

They will be difficult to break down and will have Adama pace on the break.

Important we don't lose up there I think. We get a 0-0 or 1-1 and I'd back us to finish the job at VP.

Do away goals count for this?

No away goals

Seems a bit unfair, if we ‘win’ 3-0 up there it’s classed as 0-0, bloody football.

I don’t get the negativity of the what if scenarios to be honest. More than ever, going into these games we have to be unified, positive and get behind the lads.
We show up to our ability then we win. Simple. Concentrate on what we can do ourselves. Boro or anyone for that matter would not be looking forward to a second leg at a packed VP in an evening game.

This forum is great for getting your fears out there but I’m sure they’ll be 100% positivity in the ground.
Not so sure the dehlia quote is appropriate, wasn’t it a significant defeat for them that day? I do remember she sounded pissed.

Wasn’t relating the delia moment to the result, just more the rallying call.

Let’s be honest, this whole process is new to all of us. Entering the unknown but for my own sanity and nerves I NEED to stay totally positive about what’s to come
