Middlesbrough v Bristol City match thread

Smoggers51 · February 10, 2024, 11:18:49 AM

Totally agree with you Erimus about the Boro and Gibson.I never thought that in my lifetime of following the Mighty Boro we would play with the big lads (Premier League) and in Europe and have players like The Little Fella ,Rav,Merson and 2 of my favourite players Negredo and Murdoch !! As the song goes "We are Middlesbrough and everywhere we go everyone will know""UTMB !!
Ps get well soon Erimus and Blotty 👍

51 years today the same fixture, lets hope the same result

This day 10th February 1973

Boro 2 Bristol City 1

Our iconic striker John Hickton & 6 foot 2, eyes of blue Stuey Boam is after you, got the goals to keep both points on Teesside as the mighty Boro won our 1st back to back home games this year & two consecutive home wins for the first time that season

A measly attendance of 8,511 which was 2,000 down on the previous home game
Boro's temporary manager Harold Shepherdson, standing in when Stan Anderson resigned the month earlier, steered the Boro to a 4th place finish, too far away from runners up QPR but a massive improvement on the previous seasons 9th finish

No1 in the charts was probably the 1st group for me with this classic

Wasn't there a game at Ayresome where Gary Parkinson blatantly blocked a goal bound shot with his hand?

Ref didn't see it and we went up the other end and Rippers scored the winner....

I'll have a look on YouTube

Glad to see Glover keep his place & O'Brien in for Howson, which we'll see more & more this season

Might scrape a win 2 - 1 win today

Gboro64 · February 10, 2024, 02:43:47 PM

Just seen the team. Dieng and McGree on bench. WTF.
Will be the usual pretty football without a punch up front. 0-1 written all over it.

Ipswich are dropping off, now more or less in the playoffs along with Leeds & West Brom, 6th is, for me, the remaining spot between 6 teams, us at the bottom of that list but today they have to show that they want that 6th spot

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 03:00:36 PM

C'mon Boro!

teamboro · February 10, 2024, 03:17:22 PM

Oh Fuck here we go 0-1 Bristol

teamboro · February 10, 2024, 03:18:56 PM

FFS 0-2 Bristol Hackney at fault

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 03:20:48 PM

Our awful defending continues

In With the Lurpak · February 10, 2024, 03:40:11 PM

Carved up like a Sunday roast

Abysmal - one dimensional - zero shape - can't pass - can't defend - Chairman's fault .

Engel having a mare

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 04:10:14 PM

Glovee has actually kept the scoreline down, apart from him I cant think of another Boro players thats done ok

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 04:11:03 PM

Carrick has to go away from deplacing players like for like

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 04:12:09 PM

For the third game in a row v City we have to come back from two goals down

teamboro · February 10, 2024, 04:39:15 PM

Greenwood was not offside 🤦🤦🤦

teamboro · February 10, 2024, 04:50:47 PM

1-2 silvera

teamboro · February 10, 2024, 04:57:39 PM

Piss poor first half got what we deserved

tunstall · February 10, 2024, 04:59:25 PM

Strange team selection

As mentioned above we looked pretty toothless

Too little too late....

Kiss the play offs goodbye

Too right - he shouldn't have been on the pitch

erimus74 · February 10, 2024, 06:00:07 PM

I dont think we have any chance of making it above 8th never mind 6th place

Carrick needs to show he has it to take us forward next season, with no home league wibs this year & but for Gliver we would have seen our biggest drubbing this season, a sort of fightback secobd half due to City playing 120 minutes plys midweek & just sat back

Feels like we're back to Wildwrs last season & between Leo & Carrick coming in

All credit to Bristol City. Although it doesn't take one of NASA's finest to figure out the usual one-dimensional Carrick set-up, they closed our play down superbly from the first minute to the last. All after a tough 120 minutes against a proper team on wednesday too.

But remember, we're only 3 6 points from the Play-offs!

In With the Lurpak · February 10, 2024, 06:40:28 PM

Job to take the club forward is down to Gibson

past 20 years is it ?? He's constantly failed .

if that's a pop at me, fair do's, I am a positive bloke and you are not.

However I only ever played at a poor Teesside league level for a year and never managed. I look up to lads like you who know soccer inside out, have obviously managed at least at Championship level for a few years minimum and has the responsibility it brings. Well done lad.
