Middlesbrough vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Happy with that line up.
My stress levels are running high and I can't even get drunk as I am on call!

[Monty]

That's the team I'd pick. Crucial to get Jack involved and in space.

No surprises with either team selection, though I'm happy Bamford is on bench. We do look very light on full back cover so fingers crossed no injuries in either position.  Hourihane to justify his inclusion with a goal. UTV

[Matt Collins]

The home team has failed to win any of the past 11 matches between Middlesbrough and Aston Villa in all competitions,

What a weird sequence

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Come on you Villa boys!!! UTV!

[Bad English]

Come on you Villa Boys! Fucking have 'em!

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Jack carry us back to the top flight.

Well that’s the best we have and they are on the pitch so can’t complain. Looking at their line up he is going to rely on counter attacking.

[JUAN PABLO]

Monkey 47 just poured ...    stops the nerves

best line up i think and good bench .....  come on Villa 0-2 

[Axl Rose]

Come on Jack carry us back to the top flight.

This.

Jack will be our playoff saviour.

[Axl Rose]

I’m staying off this thread today. Already nervous enough

Key tests today:
1. Adama - need to double up on him and terry will hopefullyy read his crosses when he inevitably beats his man
2. Counter their muscle in midfield - id have played Bjarnason over hourihane
3. Set pieces - should be well placed w Jedinak plus all four defenders are good in the air

Still have a horrible feeling we’ll lose this by a couple of goals; but I was nervous v wolves and blues and that worked out well

No Matt! Don't worry.

We will be fine. If they can score a couple of goals, so can we.

Nervous smervous

[Toronto Villa]

watching some golf to take my mind off things before kick off. Tiger Woods just tearing it up at the Players. -9 now, incredibly -8 through 12 holes today.

Only football can tie your stomach in knots like this. Here we go!

[beness]

All we have to do  is win 4-0 and then we can all relax.     I wish.
