		We've won 5/6 ,last midweek matches and 2/3(1draw) at Boro.
Guarantees a Boro win 😥
But I go for a shock City success
1-0

		This is a tough one to call. Boro have lost their last three at home without scoring a single goal. In fact, they've failed to score in four of their last five games. However, two of those were against Fulham and Bournemouth. City, meanwhile, have failed to score in three of their last five matches, four of which have ended in defeat. 
Two teams that are badly out of form.

 Doughty back to Stoke injured, Ralls out, Davies out, Dramah a doubt and Ikpeazu ineligible.
Boro (whatever their injury situation) must be hot favourites.
But I'll go 1 - 1. With Vaulks 'Man Of The Match'. :thumbup:

 Not sure. He was subbed off after about 20 minutes in the Luton game. Morison has said the injury is not too bad but he won't be fit in time to play in any of the remaining games so he has gone back to Stoke.

		Glad to seen Denham in again, he could save us a few quid with a strong end to the season.

 If Ng (at LB?) , Vaulks and Watters play their A games we have a chance.

 Im not sure Vaulks and Watters A games are near the level needed.

 No idea with Watters. He butchered his chances at Bramall Lane but otherwise did OK and pressed quite well. Only OK though. Vaulks can be effective if he keeps his concentration and discipline. He has had a few games this season where he was defensively solid and was capable of playing good, accurate long passes. But he doesn't do it consistently. A Vaulks worldy tonight would be good!

		Boro are so average
We are just so meh
Apart from the goal the quality has been awful
Vaulks and Watters really are not good enough for this level
Watters is so slow of mind and action
A Dai Thomas for the 2020s

 If that’s the case Watters will be going back to Crawley at this rate

		...and Hugill should have hit the target just before half time.....he's not one I would get back next year.  works hard enough but not a goalscorer.
