F.A Cup 3rd round Middlesbrough predictions

[10.Goater_Legend]

Will be interesting too see how Mancio lines us up for this one, I personally rekon he will blend a mixture of youth and experience. Think a few will be rested with the Rags in mind.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Given

- - Richards - - Boyata - - Kompany - - Garrido

- - - - - - - - - - - - de Jong

- - - - - - - - - - SWP* - - - Barry

- - - - - Weiss - - - RSC* - - - Robinho

Subs:
Taylor
Bellamy
Tevez
Ireland
Sylvinho
Zabaleta
Petrov

*= if fit

We still owe 'Boro one from that 8-1 shite a few years back under Sven.

I'm going 2-0 City with Weiss and a first of the season for Robinho

[Trautmann]

9-1 would be nice
thanks

[shawzy]

I expect a comfortable win.We also have the CC on Wed so i reckon a few players rested for Sat.Ala Bellers and maybe Barry.

[Beeks]

Boro have started to get their act together...I dont think this will be easy

Boro 1 City 2

[Beefymcfc]

I don't know if it's me but I have 'Typical City' ringing in my ears. Remember Forest last season, doing crap in the league then come to our place and bang in 3 against us? A seriously miserable night!!!

Let's hope that the tag has truly been layed to rest eh!!!

[13021J]

What's the latest on RSC at the moment following his good performance against Sunderland? Is it just a niggle or another RSC special?!

[bluej]

Boro have started to get their act together...I dont think this will be easy

Boro 1 City 2

They've won 2 of their last 11 (Manager sacking form that is ;) )

But i agree it won't be easy - it'll be their cup final.

[john@staustell]

Boro nil, City one.

Cant believe he will actually 'rest' people. But anyone carrying a knock or injury can be given the extra time to recover before SCUM, definitely Craigie boy.

Given
Zaba Richards Kompany Garrido
SWP/Weiss? DeJong Barry Rigsby
Tevez Robinho


I have absolutely no information on Santa Cruz so I'm not sure about that.

Adam Johnson is the man to watch so both Garrido and Sylvinho will worry me a bit at left back!

[Moonchesteri]

I've absolutely no idea what kind of line-up Mancio will put out there but still I'm confident we'll go through.
1-2 win for City.

[13021J]

Adam Johnson is the man to watch so both Garrido and Sylvinho will worry me a bit at left back!

Hope his hamstring is still dodgy he is far too good to be at Boro

Indeed very good player.

[rick1894citizen]

Boro 0 - 1 CITY

Robi with the winner and team to play for me would be;

...............given

zabba...micah...vince...gaz
.......de jong....barry
weiss.....................petrov
..................robi
.............rsc

[CityFanFromRome]

I think Weiss and Boyata might play too, and I'd go for a City 3 Boro 0, Tevez Robinho and RSC (if plays) as the scorers.

[10.Goater_Legend]

Really do hope Weiss get's a start, will be great for his development to get 90 mins in an important game like this.

[carl_feedthegoat]

9-1 would be nice
thanks

LOL - THEY DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE STRIKER AVAILABLE.

9 - 0 MATE - DUNNES NOT PLAYING FOR US NOW.

Hahaha, I remember that, Dunne got sent off and 5 minutes later we were about 4-0 down.

Shocking times.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

ill go for a 3-0 win like Carl said they aint got no strikers

[saulman]

Boro 0 - 2 City

Tevez 2

[10.Goater_Legend]

Boro 0 - 2 City

Tevez 2

And that would be 14 for the season all ready :)

[Blue in North London]

ill go for a 3-0 win like Carl said they aint got no strikers

...and we running short on defenders ;)

I would be happy with a 1-0 win
