So, we are playing Boro tomorrow.
They are better than us. In most positions. They are also much better away from home. They are also on a run of three straight wins, which we haven't managed for around 500 years.
But, they are team built around defence and half of it is missing. Daniel Ayala has decided not to break a habit of a lifetime and will be injured for a game at the CG.
George Friend joins him alongside a guy called Dael Fry who apparently is also important to them but I've never heard of.
Did you know that John Obi Mikel plays for them? Pretty sure he scored against us in that dismal Chelsea FA cup game 200 years ago.
They have Jordan Hugill up front, who is good. They also have Britt Assombalonga, who is also very good and super motivated to score like he always is against us.
They think of their manager much the same way as we think about ours.
We'll be missing Colback and Benalouane, alongside the 27 other players who are either injured or who O'Neill just doesn't like the face of.
They are good away, we are better at home. We cant score, their defence is all injured.
A win will probably guarantee O'Neill the summer transfer window and will let Derby into the playoff picture.
The worst possible result is a draw- it does nothing for us points wise, doesn't answer the manager situation and still helps Derby.
A defeat would be our 5th straight. Not sure when the last time we had that was. We play QPR next, in what may well be Mark Warburton's first game as their manager, so a 6th defeat in a row would look made in the stars. But at least it would screw over Derby
In other news, Notts are away at Crawley. If they lose and Macc win their home game against Newport then we are very likely to be the oldest league club in the world
And the autocorrect on my phone has screwed up the sponsor. Sorry
