FT: MIDDLESBROUGH 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[2b2bdoo]

Bit of an odd one when we have Panzo on the bench, you would think he would slot into left back. Wonder if Adams is in midfield or if it’s 4 at the back.

2 2

[Wash DC Blue]

Strange line up.
Why not play Panzo at LB or NG there and bring in Romeo?

Adams hasn’t impressed me yet, hopefully he’s fitter and has a good game.

[NTB]

Bad feeling about tonight. Not confident with Ralls at left back. Hopefully we can repeat the Sunderland game.

[LA Bluebird]

That is what is generously described as a midfield full of graft - after probably our best possession game in a very long time on the weekend which saw us topping the division, wouldn't be surprised to see a bit lower than the Sunderland game this evening.

is this a must win?

yes....they are all must win.

[jon1959]

Don't know why but I've got a bad vibe about this one. Just hope that Bulut can work his magic. If offered I would take a draw now.

Boro found their form and results. We seem to be hit with more major injuries than them and have a pick n mix team tonight. Not sure bad vibes come into it - Boro must be favourites. I would happily take a draw too.

[2b2bdoo]

Looks like Adams at right back, odd when Romeo on the bench.

[bluesp]

Adams at right back and NG on the left, interesting selections

[bluebirds17]

I'm assuming Romero can't be fully fit if he isn't starting.

[BlueArmy 86]

He must like and trust Adams, we don’t see them train. I think he may be better than we've seen

[bluesp]

Interesting to hear the Boro fans getting a bit restless already with their team

You can see city want to press them as well when they pass it about the back.

Definitely, they have given us the ball back a lot so far

[2b2bdoo]

I can see Adams going off HT

[2b2bdoo]

Surprised at the boro fans getting on their bank so early on.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

These Boro fans hate their team

[LA Bluebird]

Was going to say that. We think City fans can be unsupportive at times when things aren’t going well, I don’t think we’ve ever been exasperated with the ball being passed around at the back inside 10 minutes and sarcastically cheering forward passes inside 30.

[2b2bdoo]

Currently up to 4th

[City123]

Has Grant been booked for winning the ball?

[bluesp]

Has Grant been booked for winning the ball?

Precisely. Absolutely ridiculous

[2b2bdoo]

Seemed a strange booking, he hasn’t had the best of nights.

Adams another mistake, hasn’t really worked him at RB

[MacAdder]

Dissent for slating the linesman for not doing his job.

[Joe Gillis]

Exeter has been given no service, having said that his whole demeanour seems lethargic

[Joe Gillis]

Feckin Grant!!!
