C'MON BORO!

Boro made amends for the home defeat to Blackburn Rovers with a 3-1 home win over struggling Hull City, with goals from Finn Azaz & a brace from Tommy Conway taking him to the top of our goalscorers with 8 goals.
Get your finger out Latte Lath!

Friday night football at Turf Moor, which we haven't got the best of records at with two form teams going head to head

5th placed Boro, who have two massive consecutive away games in the space of 5 days travel first to second placed Burnley



Boro are the Championships second top goalscorers with 32 goals, with 4 wins out of our last 5 games, scoring 18 goals in the process against Burnley, who boast the tightest Championships defence, conceding only 6, while winning 4 on the bounce

Hopefully a few of the walking wounded return & with a clean bill of health the end of the sickness bug that has swept the club this past few weeks will be made available to bolster the squad for this tough fixture

Michael Carrick will have a few tough choices to make, does he rotate, or stick with the starting eleven v Hull City, knowing another big fixture is coming in 4 days time at Elland road

If Dieng is available, does Sol keep his place
Will Ayling revert back to his right back role
Is Fry ok to continue after an outstanding performance & his first full game since February
Will Barlasar be rested for this one with Howson coming in
Will we see McGree replace Burgzorg

Another work of art E Man 👏👏

Time to kick on Boro

Normally would settle for a draw but with our goal scoring of late its time to show if we are genuine promotion candidates!!

Victory by one in a potentially high scoring game 3-2 to Mighty Boro 😉😉

UTB 👍

Another good should Nosmo-King, 👍

Think Beresford kept goal for the Boro Supporters South in the league in London for Southern Supporters club Sunday League.

Andy Clark ( Lisbonlegend) also played for them I believe

[Redsteel (Moderator)]

Solid draw 1-1

Marlon Beresford, Erimus? Brilliant stuff as usual.

2-1 to Boro

Just checked my stats & thought so, Beresford made his debut in that infamous 6-0 home win over Swindon

[RiversideRifle]

Burnley 1-3 boro

Conway Lath and burgzorg

[Nosmo-King]

Great result for Beresford's first game.

[Bud Wiser]

More confident about an away game at Burnley than anyone at home - as we know Carrick tends to rein in at least two of his four wingers!

Said the same to ny son in law, no issues playing away its our home form thats suspect

[Kippers]

Has the hallmarks of a classic game. Under the lights, beginning of the weekend. Tough game, but our away form is great.

I see a Boro win here.
