I really hope the crowd in there tonight just gets behind the team and blocks out all this spygate bollocks. We don’t need it, it’s not funny, and we don’t need to give them any extra motivation. Like others have said - WBA/Arsenal levels of noise needed.

Fair enough spiel, but I didn’t hear about any arrests or bans for Boro fans letting off flares before the game on Saturday. Of course the authorities are less likely to ignore anything we do wrong moving forward after this latest drama

Fair play to Boro, they made it a cracking atmosphere first half. They faded as much as their performance second half after not capitalising on their dominance, must be so frustrating to see that happen every week. I think if we’d just made the ball stick up top a couple of times the game may have become more even before it did, we just needed to give them something to worry about rather than letting them camp in our half. Fellows was fucking dreadful, Matsuki 100% needs to start on Tuesday. We caused all our own issues by giving it away cheaply and not pressing. Azaz had another stinker, they really seem to rattle him. Everything bounced off Larin and the ref gave him no protection from the man handling, though felt he could’ve been more aggressive. Don’t think I’ll ever plan a night out in Middlesbrough again. Fantastic result overall, need to recreate the atmosphere from the WBA game 2 years ago and get the job finished. Up the cheating scummers.

Man up, it’ll blow over. Especially when Finn Azaz scores a brace today and we’ve got Wembley to think about.

Was beautiful up until about Leicestershire, grim since. Could never live up north

Really hope this is all a load of bollocks about nothing and the silence from the club is just to troll everyone.

Would be good to see but I’d say a Tuesday night might be slightly less rowdy than a Friday night. We’ll see

Looks like a real ‘fuck you’ to Middlesbrough from Saints. Maybe we tried to negotiate a reciprocal allocation and they refused?

Oh fair enough, maybe that’s something I always should’ve known but always expected the 10% somewhere like that. Hope Saints do the same in return even if it leaves gaps in the away end, fuck them

Shit allocation for a big stadium. I hope Saints reciprocate with the smallest away allocation possible. Would’ve thought the rules would be the same as regular league games but clearly not. Load of shit

Agreed, take it to them. Their confidence must be fragile and especially without Hackney they’re not all that. If we go a goal down, they know how poor they are at keeping a lead and we tend to keep plugging away so will fancy it

Well played. Think it’s a 5am start on the road and a night out up north for us

Flights to Newcastle only £330. Get them while you can

We’d have finished 2nd on 84 if we’d beaten Bristol City and Ipswich. You need to -1 for Ipswich

Fantastic effort. Away game first against a stuttering Boro. Big away noise on Saturday lunchtime then Tuesday night at ours.

Big push needed. They’ll have more chances the way it’s been going. Need to kill it off

Coughing up too many chances here. Would like to see a reshuffle

Bosh. New keeper tested, Bazunu like positioning. Great feet from LND but criminal to give him that much space

Change in goal for them is a strange one. Have to test him early, assuming he hasn’t played much

Nothing wrong with the effort, just a bit disjointed and not keeping the ball that well. It’s been fairly end to end with both sides being sloppy and presenting chances

Tend to agree but it wouldn’t be like Tonda to make changes like that at HT, especially 1-0 up. Would like to see more control though

Nothing good

Mental game at Wrexham, they can’t defend for shit. I’d take full time right now across all games, gets us a home 2nd leg, got a 72/1 acca coming in and would be over the moon for Wednesday to win one.

Correct call. Get the game won and worry about the rest later.

Letting Ballard go for peanuts rather than a season long loan appears to be another howler. But like you say, can’t win them all.
