    Ba? Interesting.

    Can't say I've thought of him as a holding midfielder but with Kashi out we need someone to do that job.

    At least it's not just 442 and nothing else.

    4-4-2 would have been ripped apart. Would have preferred Diarra as the defensive screen. He reads the game so well.

    JBG meant to be playing on the left.

    I wondered if we might be doing that. Not such a bad idea imho. Teams know he will cut inside and have been doubling up to stop him. Big Mak needs crosses if he's going to score goals. Having traditional non inverted wingers seems a sensible move to me right now. Need to ficus on getting the ball wide and crossing early - like we did for Mak's one goal so far or for Cousins vs Fulham... incidentally both assisted by JoBerg and KAG.

    Looking forward to seeing JBG on the left. Might add a bit of width that we need desperately.

    Not sure about Ba in holding midfield. He tends to get caught in possession which would cost us dearly in this fixture.

    Big change around in the Boro line-up. They've picked a weakened team! They probably see this as an easy fixture after a big cup match in midweek. Hope it back-fires on them.

    At least JBG will help and cover Fox

    I was hoping it would be Diarra at holding midfield. Oh well. Let's see how Ba does.

  • It's 4-1-4-1 Cafc just tweeted

    The formation the @tutt-tutt suggested.

    Is Jackson the 1 in midfield or Cousins?
    Ba is the anchor

    teams coming out.

    When the Red Red Robin
    Goes bob bob bobbin’
    Along, along,
    There’ll be no more sobbin’
    As he keeps throbbin’
    His old, sweet song,
    Wake up! Wake up, you sleepy head.
    Get up! Get up get out of bed.
    Cheer up! Cheer up, the sun is red.
    Live, love, laugh and be happy!

    What if I feel blue?
    I’ll go walking through
    Fields of flowers.
    Rain may glisten, but still I listen
    For hours, and hours.
    I’m like a kid again,
    Doing what I did again,
    Singing this song,
    When the Red Red Robin
    Goes bob bob bobbin’ along!

    Once the whistle blows at 3.00pm everything else goes on hold for a couple of hours.
