Well as we're all happily aware, that's the last of the boring, boring, boring international breaks over for this year, as we welcome back real football
After that fantastic result against Leicester City at the Riverside the mighty Boro, who have just the one defeat in the last 12 games in all competitions, unbeaten in the last 3, travel to Bristol City to face a team, throughout our history, we very rarely do well at
Boro & Bristol City, sit 10 & 11th in the table, with Boro 2 points better off with both teams on a zero GD, fingers crossed, GD apart, its the same come 17:45 on Saturday
Hopefully following the weeks break, apart from Smith & O'Brien & now this week the news that Lenihen is out for the season after undergoing a successful operation, we could see a few of the absentees return to the squad, we've been unlucky on the injured front this season
4 of this seasons recruits are showing why Micheal Carrick persisted with playing them from the off, Sam Greenwood & Morgan Rogers both on 4 goals apiece, with Greenwoods free kick v Leicester one of the best at the Riverside, VDB is showing massive promise & potential, but the star of the summer signings for me is Seny Dieng, IMO, our best keeper since Schwarzer
Theres also talk that Jones could be suspended for this game after picking up a yellow v Leicester City, if so, he'll be a big miss, apart from his forward play, his defensive duties are a big part of our game, as seen last saturday, probably my MOTM
We've had some mixed results at Ashton Gate over the years, thumped by Joe Royle on his City (loan) debut, bagging all of City's 4 goals
December 77 a rare appearance on MOTD, seen the Boro won 2-1 with goals from a David Armstrong penalty & Peter Brine
Jan 2011 Moggas team going there & winning 4-0 with Cameron Parks heavily involved when winning a penalty after he came on as a sub
December 2011 Maulaury Martin smashing in a last minute free kick to win 2-1
Another sell out for the fantastic Boro faithful & such a long haul
The 1st fixture away to Bristol City on the 21st December 1901, Boro losing 1-0
Bristol City v Boro fixture will be the 49th fixture in Bristol between the 2 teams with the following record:

Robins 1 - 3 Boro
3 of us went to Bristol City back in 1990 in my car, which broke down 6, 7 times finally getting to Bristols ground just before HT, we made our way to the ground in the pouring rain & with all turnstiles closed a steward let us through the gate & into the away end, we caught the last 3 minutes of the 1st half with us losing, we eventually lost the game 3-0
Things didnt improve after the game either, as we needed to have my car towed from county to county & getting home 4 in the morning, absolute nightmare, worst ever away match in my lifetime 😔😢
Good to look back on & see our excellent signing Barry Robson great footwork when scoring our 3rd goal
Just found out today that George Friend has just signed for Citys rivals Rovers, he could fake an injury & attend the Boro game to see his old team 👍
.
Would love to see how you index/store them all for easy access 😜
0-2 Boro.
Who was it who lashed in a late free kick at Ashton gate around 5 years ago ?

December 2011 Maulaury Martin
I have a spreadsheet with every Boro player from 1899 to date, with stats, loanees, (incoming though, not any out goings) debuts, goals, registered number when making debut, hat tricks, 4 goals, every penalty, debut goalscorer, along with a big majority of my material via, scrapbooks, match tickets, programmes etc copied & posted onto my PC, just a case of searching for a player, team we're playing
Years of research really
Got sent a YouTube link to the top ten Boro free kicks and that one from Martin was in there
Tough game, 1-1

I was on nights & remember watchung the game on my PC, getting my bait ready then watxhed the last few minutes before shooting off to work when, smash right in the top corner with Englands ex No1 helpless

Great write up as usual Erimus👍 A bit concerned about the new manager bounce lark but I think we should shade it 2-1 to us 👍On the road at 5 in the morning for the long trip to Bristol.

Good stuff Erimus 👍
I think they'll get the same new manager bounce that Birmingham got with Rooney.
2-4
Viburnum with a brace
Crooks
Lath

How the f did Coburn autocorrect to that?!!!

Bit of banter on the train. A few Sunderland fans going to Plymouth 🤣.A few Boro lads as well. Should be a lively journey 😀🤣
Add to the mix about 40 Sheff Wed fans travelling to Birmingham and train is very lively 🤣 Love it !!!

Never read one of Wests FMTTM Mags :bork:
I bet there is more info (like above ) in one of Erimuses match threads than one of his shit rags over the road . all for free as well .

Lets not forget the return to Bristol of our very own Teesside Haarland, there could be a Rovers fans attending the game, wishing him well & hoping he does the business 🙏🤞👍

Yeah, lets hope Latte does the business
Have they got a slow backline, play high up, Latte Laths pace will unsettle them
Prefer to see Coburn & Lath together , poss happen at home games , power & movement as a pair ?
I got that wrong regardinv Jones, thought he was suspended, he's vital to us, especially away with him helping out his man behind him
Engle rocket to get on the scoresheet today 🤞👍
C'mon Boro!

Ditto, Coburn's strength and Lath's speed. Old skool combo
They do playva high line, Lath will hopefully get a chance to run through their defence
FFS
GET FUCKING COBURN ON 😡😡😡

They were on to our passing from the back game from minute one, closing us down superbly. Hence the clueless defending.
Fry, Engel & Jones - take a bow for total ineptitude.
We have to do the samecas last season coming bavk from two goals down to draw at 2-2
Give the travelling fans something to shout about
C'mon Boro!
How did tgey get a throwin out ofcthat clearence
Goaaaaallllllllll
:leo3:
2 - 4. You heard it here first.
Gooooaaaaaalllllllllll
Class pass & excellent finish
(https://i.ibb.co/jW1Fmng/rafaelmantesso-jimmychoo.gif)
Shite defending 3-2 :unbelievable:
That's why I don't gamble.
Good subs
Fry backing off
Is a phrase we hear far too often
Utter gash...
We are still only 3 points off the top 6.
FFS
With Latte-Lath & Greenwood contributing nothing it was left to the ever threatening Crooks to get us back into the game. So who does Carrick see fit to withdraw first?....
:ponder:
We have had a ball for the last couple of weeks. Today we lost, sk what it happens.
Onwards and upwards to Tuesday.
We can't defend, our full backs get taken apart/make schoolboy errors far too often - until that's sorted we're going to have to score 3 or 4 goals every game. Also Coburn has a tremendous influence on how we play both offensively and defensively - he takes so much pressure off the defence purely by being able to hold the ball up whereas Lath is more effective when coming off the bench. Left and right back needed in the window and probably another striker too !
DEFENDING COST US THE GAME....I'D DROP FRY FOR TUESDAY NIGHT 😡
Be better off with Golden Fry
