Lost the last one, Boro chance to put it right

[bobo the clown]

Really can't be arsed going today......

I'll sit with you then !!

I think Dougie has finally squeezed my enthusiasm completely dry. There have been worse times but rarely have I seen it so clearly. Like the proverbial slow motion car crash.

[clapton is god]

I'm going. I'll try and whip some enthusiasm up in a minute....

[truewhite15]

I'll be going. It is becoming more a sense of duty and not wasting the money spent on a season ticket now; but I just know that if I did decide to skip it, I'd feel wrong not being there.

Quite apart from anything else, I'm doing the match day challenge!

Catching balls or kicking them? I'll give you a cheer!

Can't wait for 3 o'clock to come round, gutted i can't make it to the game, was going to be going to Manchester for new years then to the game the day after on the route home but everyone is skint

I'm stuck with BBC Tees Commentary unfortunately, got a good feeling about the game, most excited about a game i've been in a long time, shame you guys don't share the optimism

Hope it's not catching.......I'll miss the falls, what with the wet grass......

[Bruce Rioja]

It's pissing down, I'm full of a cold, I need to go looking at dining room furniture prior to the match, I'm back at work tomorrow, I just want to crawl back into bed.

[ChrisC]

Boro haven't won in their last 12 visits to the Bok and only have one win in the last ten away games this season.

They have won the last 3 under the new boss though with 3 clean sheets.

Hard to call but will go with a Bolton win. Nervy 2-1.

[Boroinbishop]

We haven't looked like conceding from open play at all in the last few matches, i reckon if anything it'll be from a set piece or down the right wing, our weakness is probably Friend at LB.

I'd expect us to line up like this:
GK: S. Given
RB: S. Varga
CB: D. Ayala
CB: B. Gibson
LB: G. Friend
DM: G. Leadbitter
DM: R. Smallwood
AML: E. Ledesma (he's been on fire recently)
AMC: M. Emnes
AMR: Adomah
ST: L. Jutkiewicz

[bwfcdan94]

Adomah is playing. Zat knight is going to be made to even sillier than normal.

[TKIZ!]

I've truly given up on the Wanderers today. Sat in the house and not expecting anything from this game. First order of business is get McNaughton and Danns back and quick on loan if we can

[TANGODANCER]

Weather won't put the Boro boys off but we will score early and win....fact. COME ON YOU WHITES.

[LeverEnd]

Both goalscorers from the Leicester game dropped but defence that conceded 5 remains. Hmmmm!.

#BWFC team to face Middlesbrough: Lonergan, Baptiste, Mills, Knight, Ream, Pratley, Spearing, M Davies, Eagles, Lee, Mason

[Boroinbishop]

Massive surprise with a lot of changes for Boro:

Team to face Bolton:
Given. Williams, Ayala, Gibson, Friend. Smallwood, Leadbitter. Adomah, Butterfield, Carayol. Main.

[Bijou Bob]

Tinker man strikes again!

[Harry Genshaw]

Not ill but just didn't fancy it despite 1 free ticket. Feel a bit guilty not cheering em on but I'm there in spirit. C'mon lads

[TANGODANCER]

Now listen up Dougie; none of this inviting them on to test our defence. Get out there and get up and at em right from the off. It's 2014 and time for change. Get in there and attack. Knight and Ream to score in a landslide....(gulp). COME ON YOU WHITES.

[TANGODANCER]

"Windy and cold"..says the man as the fans make themselves heard. Away we go and....a goal kick from our first attack. Eagles has a dab and puts in a cross that gets deflected out for a corner. And...ironic cheers from the visitors as a shot goes miles wide. Mason and Pratley, Chungy and....cleared for a throw. And Chungy and Pratley and cleared from Mason and Pratley makes an attempt on widest shot of the year at right angles.

[TANGODANCER]

Wind's going to have some real affect on anything in the air. Lonergan gets his first feel of the ball and now we have a throw..... and then we have another. Knight gives them a goal kick with a hopeful punt. Knight feeds Lonergan and no the Boros come and a header hits Knight and gets hacked away by Mills. Early touch of indigestion as they come again but we clear. Mention of Mason "exhausted"? Now they come and Knight makes ahowler and once again we're one down. Well done Zat....0-1
