Middlesbrough - Sat 17th Feb (H) - 15:00

[Sly]

These game keep coming! 
 

Klopp wouldn’t be happy in this league.

 

We go again on Saturday. 

[Simonb]

2-0 win again. Should be a little more challenging than tonight.

 

Hopefully the same team, or rotate vardy with daka.

[KFS]

I was fuming after the game at their place. Smash em

[SecretPro]

Swap out Praet for Akgun and leave Kasey at home and we've got out best team.

[weller54]

7-0

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Owe these as well. Win.

For the love of god can people stop mentioning Yunus?

 

It couldn’t be clearer that we literally can’t afford to let him kick a ball again, unless some magic money appears.

It couldn’t be any clearer that having money isn’t an issue but FFP is and for the love of god they are 2 different things 

[HybridFox]

Pipe down the Carrick bandwagon 

[The Doctor]

I mean, win it and Leeds have to make up 1 point per game on us (Southampton as well if they don't win), and at that point realistically the title is locked up

If we cannot afford £8m over 5 years for FFP then something is seriously wrong and we're in trouble if we go back up. We get £5m for winning the Championship FYI.

I think it’s more we don’t want him as opposed to can’t afford it.

Waste of time having him on the bench then.

Yes that's what I think which is bizarre he's suddenly come to that conclusion after he scored two in two and changed both games. He can still play 7 times for us before the suppose obligation.

 

Anyway if Enzo's made his mind up, get Alves on the bench instead.

I just think we can get better for the same money.

 

I think we will have one eye on James McAtee still.

What’s the argument that James Mcateer is a better investment  than Akgun..??
plus the fans will be crying out to somehow by hook or by crook,we should be

holding onto Fatawu..

[Criggers]

Just looking at the table (crazy math here, brace yourselves).

 

Should Preston beat Boro tonight and we then take 3 points on Saturday, Boro will be on 41 points and we will be sat on 81. One point away from double their own total 2/3 through the season. Incredible really.

[David Hankey]

Another "tough" fixture, however there will only be one result, another 2-0 home win.

[brookfox]

I'll be honest, I've not looked at the league in a while and take little notice of results other than than the few around us. But in my mind, Boro were about 6th, they're actually 13th (albeit with some games in hand)!

[FrankieADZ]

can only see 1 change and thats Daka in for Vardy

This. 

 

Yes, he's looked good enough at times at this level but you're talking about a whole step up again. 

 

I just don't think Enzo rates him enough to want him on the books for five years.

It's not the money for winning the championship that helps its the increased TV money and sponsorships FYI
