So it is.. can hear it now you've said it
Not sure what Sawyers is doing to keep on getting picked
The team hasn't been announced yet.
Quite right, but about the only player, Cedric apart who can pass a ball further than 2 yards.
Ps on reflection ODowda has to start in place of Philogene.
I personally would not have Sawyers anywhere near the team - he is a luxury, as he provides nothing! I would definitely have O’Dowda in the team and Etete. The latter would be a twin strike force with Kaba, with Rinimota/Sang, Wintle and O’Dowda in midfield, and Robinson between the two strikers and midfield.
You can say the same for most of our squad tbf
True but he was far from the worst performer that day. Still think he could do a solid job there for us.
I'm gonna be as positive as I can be.
1-1 draw.
I would like a win..but my brain tells me 0-2
2-1 come on the City
😂
Very witty
We need goals, I'd have Odowda and Robinson on the wings, Kaba and Etete up front
Rinohota was Wintle in midfield,Ng at left back and Romeo as Rb Kipre and McGuinness at the back
Boro are in great form since Carrick turned up there, no point sitting back waiting to get picked off, we have to be on the front foot
Boro haven’t drawn a game since November. They’ve drawn away just once this season, at Stoke way back in mid-August.
Given the manner in which City have been playing lately, a point would definitely be an acceptable return.
We badly need 3 points but a draw will instill some confidence hopefully and maybe set us up for wins in upcoming games.
Its going to be an interesting selection today. Left back? Central midfield selection and who starts up top.
No negative vibes from me .
There is little to choose between any of the teams in the Championship. As long as City battle for every ball we can upset an inform Boro. The goals will then come.
3-0 City
Match Facts:
- Cardiff have won one of their last five league games against Middlesbrough (D2 L2), although it came earlier this season at the Riverside.
- Middlesbrough are looking for consecutive away league wins over Cardiff for the first time since December 2011, having won 2-0 in October 2021.
- Cardiff have netted just one goal in their last seven league games (D3 L4) and are winless in 11 league games (D5 L6).
- Indeed, 80% of Cardiff's goals in all competitions in 2023 so far have come against Premier League side Leeds in the FA Cup (4/5).
- Middlesbrough have won each of their last two league games without conceding, not since October 2021 under Neil Warnock have they done so in three consecutive games, with the third victory in that run coming against Cardiff (2-0 in October 2021).
- Since Michael Carrick's first league game in charge in October, only Burnley (33) and Sheffield United (32) have won more Championship points than Middlesbrough (31).
I agree with the posts saying a draw would be ok against a team in very good form, especially if we can score a couple. Something to build on.
A win would be amazing though.
I’ve woken up in a positive/delusional mood and fancy us for a win today.
The noises from the camp have been good all week and have lured me in. No doubt crushing disappointment will follow.
Facts bear no relevance in today's positive mindset. Get on point please.
Stating the bloody obvious but the first goal is vital.
The problem with grabbing points here and there is that it does little to change things or give the team confidence
Birmingham have grabbed 2 wins on the quick
We need that now , not in a few games time
It's not the fans fault , social media or the local press
It's the stupid decision to replace Mad Mick with a trainee manager and the even more stupid decision to replace him with another
We now have the situation where a new manager who it appears has some presence and skill about him is left with a right bag of soggy peas to make something of .
I will be absolutely amazed if we beat Boro today . If we do it will be fantastic for the club and the fans .
But it must be followed up quickly by more points at Birmingham .
Because if we don't beat Boro or Birmingham then we must start to begin preparing for relegation as that is what will be happening .
CCFC are like a woman
Tease you , trick you
Then kick you in the bollocks
Spot on Sludge. Morison was a mistake, Hudson an even bigger one. Having an experienced manager, unless you are very lucky, means everything in a relegation dogfight.
Like you, I hope our new manager has the time and resources to eke out enough wins to save us.
Ps I was amazed how improved Brum were last night. Shows what difference a win or two make.
I hope I dont offend anyone on here but I am convinced City are going to give me a heart attack. Starting to get tense already.
Never felt like this in the Prem. Every game was a bonus then. Now every game is a nightmare.
