Boro v Hull City match thread

[erimus74]

Another disappointing result against Ipswich Town on Saturday, we're going through a bit of sticky patch at the moment, losing 3 of the last 4 games, thats 2 defeats on the bounce, Leeds & Ipswich Town, our injury list is growing by the week.
Michael Carrick says it gives other players opportunities, but with these players with limited championship experience it's difficult for them to come in & perform as if they're at championship level, the best league in the world, can be really cruel & hard to young, experienced players

These championship games come round so quick players have little time to be feeling sorry for themselves so hopefully, the players will be up for this game to show they do have whats required, basically a young bunch of players who will have good & bad days

Like Boro, Hull, who are managed by Liam Rosenior, occupied the last spot in the playoffs until the weekend, have also lost there last two championship fixtures, both teams will want to get back on track on Wednesday evening to keep pace with the top 6

18th October 1924 - Boro 0 Hull City 1 the 1st fixture between both teams on Teesside with the following record
Won - 24
Drew - 6
Lost - 5
Goals scored - 66
Goals against - 29

Raich Carter managed both teams

There has never been one goalless draw between the two teams on Teesside

We have faced Hull City in the PL, the championship, 2nd division, Anglo Scottish cup, Full Members, FAC & League cup

13th October 1973 - Malcolm Poskett, who made his one & only Boro appearance, when he  when replacing David Mills with 13 minutes remaining on a 1-0 home win, playing the least number of minutes on the pitch for a Boro player at Ayresome Park & at the time, only the 2nd Boro player to make only one appearance

16th January 2007 - Seb Hines became the 2nd player to score on his FAC debut when scoring past Hull in the 3rd round replay

Fingers crossed, we can repeat the 3-1 scoreline from last season, which was to be our last home win too

Think we're due a bounce back here Erimus, don't think it'll be a high scoring game . . .

So I'll go 7-0

Jones will be back

1-0 mighty Reds

Boro 2 - 2 Hull

Every time we play Hull at the Riverside the first thing that comes to mind was one season they filled out the North stand when the away fans were seated there they ripped out a shit load of seats could have been a night match not sure always sticks in my mind . good 4 or 5 thousand of em easy.

The first time I saw football violence in the ground was against Hull. We were stood in the Boys End, I doubt I was 10, when all hell broke loose the other side of the wall.


They had Wagstaff and Chiltern up front. The days of 3 forwards and 2 wingers.

[TeessideTopgun]

Defo due a bounce back 2-0 UTB👍

[Johnny Thunder]

Quality as always Erimus lad.




3-1.

Positive or negative, glass half full, or half empty, after the Ipswich game we were all a bit down with visions of us finishing up midtable but the positive side is we've had a bad run of injuries now for 6,7, 8 weeks now & only two games in that period we've looked below the standards we set , Stoke without Hackney & Ipswich without Jones, says a lot, we'll be fine, UTMB

Sheer quality Erimus.

Thank you for the effort E-Man!

All good in the hood Erimus.

 

[erimus74]

Not the best quality, took me ages to find this goal too

One of the best goals at the Riverside I have seen by a player I loved watching, Barry Robson who will run through a brick wall for his teammates the badge & the fans

[Gboro64]

Great write up Erimus. One who you missed who played for both clubs Billy Askew.
Tomorrow I would play Dijksteel at full back and move VDB to CH and put Clarke on the bench. Good to have Jones back as we really missed him on Saturday

Cheers Gboro64, what a cracking shout for Billy Askew, great memory there 👍

Going back to Billy Askew I remember when he came on for his debut & a bloke standing behind us in the chicken run shouted, look its a little Billy Ashcroft 😅

Well done Erimus, great stuff to be sat reading on the bog at work.

I was tongue in cheek, it was break time. Great stuff. Hull is very much like the Boro you only go there if you have to.
