I also hate it when football pundits say "the likes of John Terry etc" when they actually just mean John Terry

No matter how well we play, I don't think we will get more than 3 points:)Woodleyclaret wrote:From the off no quarter given.Three points is a minimum

Re: Go for the throat against Boro
We should go right after them like we did away at Villa when already down last time. When the pressure is off we can go for it. No better game to test a different approach against the smaller teams. The pressure is indeed off - a freak set of results would be needed now, so let's go for it, within reason, and give the travelling fans a really good day out. After all, our normal approach isn't getting many points so why not?

Re: Go for the throat against Boro
Can we define 'going for it'?
Is it playing Gray, Barnes, Vokes and Agyei from the start?
Is it to disregard framework and keep our wide men up the pitch when not having the ball?
Is it to leave 3 players on the half way line when defending a corner?
After the Hull game last season we didn't have an unbeaten run of 23 matches because Dyche said, right, now we are going to go for it.

Going for it means not starting Arfield.

Well I do hope that we are 'going for it' better than we did in the first half on Tuesday.

Re: Go for the throat against Boro
I might be in a minority but having Defour in the lineup constituted " going for it" against Stoke, even though we did not create a lot of chances.
Frankly, I would start Brady - try and get an early goal, and then if need be, put in Arfield later in the match. If we get up a goal against Boro, they will have a hard time scoring against us if we keep our defensive shape.

wow, no one picked up wine for win and yet all this fuss around a little lonely s, some people obviously very poor at communicating or understanding communications but then when I see who they are, they are the usual suspects

Re: Go for the throat against Boro
If we load as many balls into the box as trump has landed missiles in syria. Then something surely has to hit the target.
