We are all feeling a little battered and bruised our team who we thought were indestructible have been given a beating.Let us remember Neil Warnock has an intimate knowledge of our team and its strengths and weaknesses and good motivation to want to get one over us after the way he was treated in his last few weeks here.Next come Burnley the best team in the division,a dangerous opponent but let's remember what we did to the second best team in this league on their own ground. Huddersfield was a shock why else would the mackams be gloating. Remember even Charltons champions got beat 5-1 at forest and Robbos promotion team being 5 down at QPR.In Michael Carrick we have someone special who will go far and Chuba,Archer,Mcgree and others in our team are some of the most entertaining players we have ever had. So let's enjoy them and this fantastic season. We like all clubs some supporters who turn up when we start winning but soon turn when things go wrong. Most of us are in it for the long run so let's get behind the lads on Friday night,COME ON BORO

Weirdly enough I would fancy our chances over Burnley more than Huddersfield. I still think we are one of the top two sides in the championship and I believe our attack out weighs theirs.

Lets just hope they don't figure out how to run really quickly down our right hand side!

yeah funnily enough I think we will bounce back and beat Burnley now but if we had won Saturday we may of only got a draw on friday I know weird logic :)
 
The gap in the Championship between the teams is not as big as your average fan thinks. For example at Swansea we were losing for half the match, but everyone just thinks 3-1 that was a straight forward win especially when it comes in a run.

The odds were crazy for us (to me) on Saturday. We were 1.72 to win typically on Betfair. I never seen us so short for an away league game. I thought we should have been no better than 50/50. After winning at Millwall, Huddersfield had clearly picked up from earlier performances.

You can't "get behind the lads" if you rely on public transport and have to travel any distance at all.
 
We will have to play a lot better than we did at their place in Dec, the gulf that day was massive.

Hopefully we turn up and play well against the champions elect, then its Bristol away on Monday, another hard game.
 
Burnley will try to kick us about in midfield and keep fouling Chuba like they did at Turf Moor, we need a plan to counteract that from the start.

Be interesting to see how Carrick approaches it.
 
I'm quietly confident, they're a good team but we are to, Saturday was just one of those days. Momentum is important if it is to be play offs now, getting that home tie in the second leg could be crucial to our chances of getting to Wembley
 
What’s the name of the London pub where Boro fans meet to watch the matches ?. I’m in London with the missus and kids for the Easter weekend, wouldn’t mind watching it if it’s close enough to the hotel 🤔
