Boro v Hull

[JonnyComeEarly]

its so hard to call this.

the best thing is that at least both teams cant get 3 points, so we're on to a winner no matter the result in my eyes.

Narrow Hull win with a 22 man brawl and both teams suffering mass suspensions. Want Boro to just implode with them needing nothing when we go up there, that said long way off

 

[Triggaaar]

Just over 4 hours to go - looking forward to it.

Reckon he'll be gone if Boro lose.

Still want the draw, but if not, a Hull win and more acrimony.

A Hull win would undoubtedly be the worst result. Hull have a decent run in, and this away game at 'boro is their hardest remaining fixture - if they win, it will give them the lift they need (and a lift is all they really need, they've had no massive falling out or anything) and there's a good chance we won't catch them. As you say, 'boro could lose their manager, and things won't be rosy even if 'boro win this game. And even if 'boro stay ahead of us, at least we go there on the last day for a 6 pointer.

The problem is, even if 'boro implode it's practically impossible for them to have nothing to play for against us, they'll still be able to make the playoffs.

A draw has to be the desired result

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

even if boro win, we still play them and can therefore control our destiny of catching them up.

if Hull win, there is sod all we can do to catch them even if we win all our games if they do too....

Yes, just looked at Hull's fixtures, they are indeed very 'easy'. It will be tough to keep up, for sure. Will probably have to hope Derby get something against them.

is the right answer….4 points dropped…Hull are on a draw fest at the moment …long may it continue that they lose 2 points a game…don’t want to build the confidence of either club with a win
It will be interesting to see how ‘born react after the manager going awol and returning

Agree that Hull's run in is easy, but their form is poor.
Boro also have rubbish form, and a much tougher run in.

It's squeaky bum time! So far, it's us and Burnley who are handling it best, with a showdown coming up in a couple of weeks!
So a draw tonight is best.

Yes, but if they were to win tonight, away to 'boro, their form wouldn't look so bad.

on the subject of Burnley , would you take a draw now ?

No.

 

[Gary1]

Hopefully a crap game and 0-0 result so that both clubs and their fans feel despondent.

 

[ditchy]

No.

Me too

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

A drab 0-0 affair, but will be made more exciting by massive brawls, pitch invasions, mass suspensions, tons of season ending injuries, and hey, some guys here and there lighting up flares makes CHAOS! And unrest continues for Boro with Karanka moaning about everything that day, and Bruce will give his players a MASSIVE bollocking

 

[Uh_huh_him]

No.......Playoffs are more or less guaranteed. Win against Burnley and Middlesbrough and we should be in the top 2.
I think Burnley's good run has to end sometime soon and I think we're ideally placed to be the ones that do it.

 

[Gary1]

Still bollocks to what they do let's just keep winning our games. If we do that others will slip up.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Yes, but if they were to win tonight, away to 'boro, their form wouldn't look so bad.

Agreed. The Hull win is the worst scenario from tonight, but not catastrophic.

 

[Triggaaar]

If only it were that easy. Of course the number one hope is that we win, starting with tomorrow.

It's most likely that all of us will drop points on more than one occasion, so of course it makes sense to hope the others do so a lot.

All of which would deserve a 5 point deduction. At least!
