Tonight is a massive game that we HAVE to win! Big Sam has to play a positive team and not be too negative all the time...play nice attractive football, get the crowd going and we will have a lot better chance of winning. I think plenty of people will disagree with me, but we have to drop Collison. I love the fact that he is one of our own, but he is just simply not good enough; he hasn't been the same player since overcoming his injury.
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Nolan will play an instrumental role in Today's match. He looked a lot more willing and put his weight about in our last couple of matches....i just don't think Big Sam's tactics allow us to get the most out of him, as well as the rest of the players!
Middlesbrough have the 3rd best away form in the championship, so our back four has a to be a solid unit! I personally think we are going to be ok. Middlesbrough are coming into this match after 2 straight defeats, so their morale isn't going to be sky high.
The match is being shown live all over the world, so there will be plenty of video streams to choose from. As per usual, we'll be looking for the best streams and posting them on our matchday chat-room.
I will activate the chat-room at around about 7:00pm. If you haven't taken part before, come check it out and join the during-match banter. COYI!!
