West Brom v Boro match thread

[erimus74]

A fantastic & thoroughly deserving home win last Saturday against Stoke City, moving Boro up to 8th place on 11 points
Leading up to the Stoke game the atmosphere following the awful performance against Sunderland was poor, then more bad news, both Conway & our most influential defender Clarke dropping out with suspected hamstring injuries

Micheal Carrick made a couple of changes, some forced, when bringing in Dijksteel at right back with Ayling moving inside for the injured Clarke to partner Edmundson, McGree replacing Conway & Azaz playing as a No10 & it worked fantastic throughout the 90 minutes, Doak MOTM, McGree is so vital to our game & Dijksteel played so well

Providing there are no injury concerns I would think Michael Carrick will stick with the team that started the Stoke City game, or maybe start VDB alongside Edmundson & put Ayling back in his right back slot, which will again be a big disappointment for Dijksteel who had a tremendous game v Stoke
What a difference seven days & an excellent win, three points & a cleansheet to boot

With the introduction of VDB v Stoke in the 71st minute could he be in contention for the West Brom game?

So, after a few days rest we travel to the West Midlands to face Championship leaders West Brom on 16 points who on Saturday, suffered their first defeat of the season away to Sheff Weds, with the possibility of facing a former Boro player Paddy McNair who hasn't seen any league action for West Brom, a few games sat on the bench, so far he's only played 60 minutes of league cup action


Bit of stats between both teams in these fixtures over the years

[TommyDickfingers]

Didn't we play WBA on the FA Cup run to the 6th Round in 81 ?

Me and my Dad used to go to my Uncles on Warwick Street before the match and seem to remember the plod escorting the away fans through the streets and loads of Boro coming out of the alleyways and launching Lowcock bottles at them !!

Anyway

West Brom are in decent form despite Saturday, so I'd take a point to be honest

WBA 1  Boro 6

Yes we beat them 1-0 at Ayresome Park in an FAC 4th round cuptie.
Ian Bailey grass cutter somehow went under Albion GK's body, when he could have thrown his cap on it

Also that game is remembered due to David Hodgson, who missed the game due to being suspended, stood in the holgate with his mates
