As I have been doing for a while now , I popped over to the Boro Chat Forum and put a few questions to them and this is a couple
of the replies I got . I will post more as they come .
GeezerSeeing as we will be playing on Tuesday night I thought I would pop in and introduce myself and to get your views on the game . I,m Admin for a relatively new Chat Forum
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . For most of this season I have been going into the oppo,s Chat Forums and posted a few questions , most have been friendly even Millscum and I hope you will be as well .
You are currently sitting in the play off places with the same amount of games left as us , will you hang on to this place and do you think you have a chance of going up to the Prem ? We have slipped up a bit lately and even though we have not lost now for 7/8 games Reading and Southampton have been winning , do you think we still have a chance of automatic promotion ?
Who are the players from Boro we should keep an eye on Tuesday night and who do you think from WH will give you the most problems ?
What is you best and worst memory of playing against us ? and what do you predict the score to be ? Finally lets hope that things w**k out for Fabrice Muamba and that he makes a full recovery .

tbh, i think we will manage to stay in the play offs. (with a possible dip into 7th/8th place), however i think our chances of going up are fairly slim. we're all but out of the running for 2nd place and the play off's is pretty much whoever turns up on the day if we manage to stay in them.

i do think you will get auto's. probably 2nd place after s'ton. reading always have a decent run near the end of the season and i think it will come to and end soon (maybe...), and they'll finish in the play-offs.

boro players to look out for - emnes if he's on his game
- zemmama if he plays (he hasn't recently) can dance around defenders
- don't know how your defending set-pieces is but mcmahon and martin can hit mean free kicks when they want to.
will gary o'neill be playing? i might be mistaken but think he's a bench player for you? would be interesting to see how he does against us if he plays.
i reckon we'll have a hard game but i'm guessing 1-1 with martin scoring from a free kick.
We're the website, We're the website, We're the website red army!
tbh we are all probably jealous of your squad, you seem to have bought some quality players - but who are your youngsters coming through your famed academy?
We are off form and as Hunsboro says our three best players are either injured or suspended and few would say any are in a good run of form. Stats show we just don't score enough goals. That said we are OK on our travels, beat Cardiff at their place and are due a win at your place as it's over a decade since we last got a result as far as I can see.
We have never lost this season in the league when we have scored the first goal so the first 20 minutes are crucial for us. I reckon we'll lift our game and sneak it 2:1.
As you say though, all the football community have Muamba in their prayers - just hope the lad pulls through
Amen to Muamba making a full and speedy recovery. Things like that help you remember that at the end of the day football is just a game.
DB23Hi Geezer, welcome to oneboro!
In answer to your questions, on current form we won't stay in the top 6 and given our remaining fixtures I don't think we have a hope of getting promoted.
Although Reading and Southampton are in fearsome form, you do have a game in hand and almost the same goal difference as the Royals, so all it takes is one slip-up. I'd say you've still got an outside chance of automatic promotion, but if you ended up in the play-offs you'd have to be favourites to win.
In all honesty I don't think you need to worry about any of our players. Three of our best and most consistent players (Rhys Williams, Scott McDonald and Barry Robson) are injured or suspended. Of the rest, Marvin Emnes (our top scorer) could give you problems, if he plays. On paper our team looks quite strong, but on recent form I would expect a comfortable win for the Hammers.
Prediction for the final score:
West Ham 3 - 0 Boro
Welshy I'm more shocked that there is a 'Welshy' in your predictions league also..
Geezer, welcome to the Boro forum.
Lee Miller Is Boro's Messi Bates is probably the best player left available and with the team he has around him he won't be able to do much to stop you from getting through again and again.
If Steele has a good day then we have a small chance of pulling off a lucky result but I'd be prepared for a heavy Hammers win.
Agree with the Muamba sentiment, good luck to him, wish him a speedy recovery.
Zhimaii think you will get an automatic promotion but on this occasion, but you will get defeated by us on Tuesday
you have a pretty strong squad as compared with ours or Reading's
you have gone through the injury on several key players but if any key players of Reading get injuried, they will drop
richmfc2 teams not on the best form but i think you have the recources to deal with it better than we have , if you had a poll of the three players we wouldnt want to lose i guess the 3 that are out would be in everyones top 5 , without robson and mcdonald we lose all our drive, our back up drive player is haroun and i doubt hell be fit either. if your off form and we catch you on the break who knows but if you play anywhere near how you can then we dont have the personnel to live with you .
so id say a lucky very hard fought draw or 1-0 to us or a hammering
Aarfy_AardvarkWest Ham still have to play Reading and Southampton at Upton Park don't they? So I mean its entirely in their own hands.
I reckon our kitman could cause the most damage to West Ham on Tuesday. By making our lads wear some bright neon green shirt that blinds the opposition. I would say Matty Bates has been the only player that hasn't let us down this season. From an attacking perspective, maybe the pace of Emnes. I saw West Ham v Doncaster and they seemed to struggle with a bit of pace down the flanks so maybe if employed right, he could give your fullbacks a bit of torrid time.
Best memory against the hammers? I liked the 4-1 up at the Riverside when we had Ravanelli and co. Worst was probably either the reverse fixture that season where Schwarzer broke his leg or possibly the cup semi-final with that git Marlon Harewood elbowing in the winner.
If West Ham don't win this by 2 or 3 goals, I will be very surprised. We are struggling to deal with teams that employ a bit of physical presence and aggression and West Ham seem to have that by the absolute bucket loads.
garymarzWatch out for Justin Hoyte, if he's crossing the ball you may get hit in the face.
A couple of our lads who you should keep an eye on:
Bailey - Tidies everything up in front of the defence, should be about back to full fitness.
Hammill - Looks like he's getting more into the games, whether it be costing us goals or nearly scoring, he's certainly affecting games.
Emnes - Being dropped last game has hopefully given him a kick up the backside.
And I have a sneeeeaky feeling we may win this one, don't know why, just a gut feeling.
Out of your team, I think Nolan is a nob and will probably score, and you can pick and choose any of your strikers and they will be a threat.
I'm going 1-0 to Boro.
But still think you have the quality in your squad to go up in the automatic places, if its in the play-offs then who knows.
