Are we going to greet the coach again before the game need to organise it.

I've heard there will be some songs and some flares. I'm sure a few will 'greet' the away coach too.

Sort out what ever happened on the first half today, fancy us to win

The home games are always so important in the playoffs. I personally think Boro will be kicking themselves, they'll be so dejected after that (they looked it). They gave everything in that first half, so much so that they were blowing out of their arses in the 2nd half - so they exerted all of that, but have nothing to show. I think Hull will have similar regrets from last night, they didn't really make the most of their home game.

Absolutely. I remember how draining "Pochettino ball" was for us, and Boro's first half pressing was like that. Let's hope that there's not enough recovery time for them between now and Tuesday night.

Also, we have enough depth to freshen things up without needing to change our style and tactics. If Hackney didn't make the bench for them today, with pressure on them to win the home leg, he's probably doubtful for Tuesday 🤞.

We essentially had no centre forward because Larin was getting bullied and having a terrible game. Makes it very difficult to play the way we do without someone who can play with their back to goal and hold the ball up. Especially when we were getting pinned in deep as much as we were, the balls just coming straight back. 
Stewart came on and made it stick a few times and we managed to get further up the pitch and grew into the game and probably should have nicked it 1-0. 

If Larin starts again on Tuesday then he needs to grow a pair and start winning some 50/50’s rather than just conceding the duel before the ball has even got there.

Never been a giant fan of it, think it’s a bit scouse and a bit noddy. 

BUT, if ever there was ever a time to recreate that WBA pregame and atmosphere to show the club we’re still behind them 100% then Tuesday is it. 

It's Scouse and noddy to create an atmosphere?

If we play like we did for the majority of the second half today (more like how we normally play) then I think we'll win. I genuinely don't believe Middlesbrough could play much better than they did today, yet they couldn't beat us.

Just watched a Boro post match reaction YouTube video calling for us to be kicked out of the playoffs. Bunch of twats I hope we smash them on Tuesday.

I'll be having a few beers, arrive about five minutes before kick off after a Jimmy riddle and then try to shout as loud as I can for 90 minutes. Hopefully that's sufficient.
