Match Thread - Middlesbrough - St Charles Owl - 26-02-2015
THE LAST MATCH
I started typing this and suddenly realised I was describing a win, with three goals scored and with Nuhiu and May scoring one each - and then thought "Don't be so bloody daft!!". But its true, really, its xxxx true!!!!
But lets not get carried away!! Lets be honest Millwall are shite at the moment, yet they definitely had the better of the first half and had they not had GTF up front they could have been comfortable ahead at half time. But as Maddix said on the match thread for once the stats of attempts, on target and scored were for once clinical in our favour!!!
Enjoy the Nuhiu back heel, May holding off the defender and McGugan scoring with his arse a mere inches off the ground!! But probably most important of all enjoy the fabulous off the line clearance by Palmer in the first half to keep the score 0-0!!
THE MATCH - SAT 28TH FEB 2015 15.00 GMT
So there is no doubt that the positivity exhibited on the Millwall thread worked wonders!! So lets try it again!!
So lets start with the positive in our favour record against them - P103 W45 D17 L42!!
Then we will add the positive fact that we are unbeaten in the last 4 meetings, of which we have won three of them!! And we will finish with the fact that the first meeting this season was probably our best performance of the season, going 3-0 up at their place with a brace from Nuhiu and a goal for May (sounds strangely familiar these days doesn't it!!). Had it not been for two dodgy late penalties for them it would have been our best result of the season, still with them in 2nd place, it still looks like the best result anyway!! CLASSIC MATCH
Back to the 1998-99 season for this games classic video, a nice home win in the Premier League. A game which saw some stars playing such as Des Walker (best SWFC CH ever??), Niclas Alexandersson, Benito Carbone and Kevin Pressman playing for us and Gary Pallister, Andy Townsend and Paul Gascoigne playing for Boro!! We ran out 3-1 winners with Andy Booth getting a brace (was he our Nuhiu of the late 90s??
) and Danny Sonner getting the other, Robbie Mustoe scored for them before moving to us later in his career and now he is one of the pundits on US tv for their Premier League coverage!! Also worth noting that the Boro goalkeeper that day was Mark Schwarzer who is still playing in the prem today with Leicester City!!POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES
Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works.
Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board.
http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum.
http://fırstrowsports.eu - the old favorite that tends not to work as well as it used to!!
WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
Ref - Stephen Martin
Assts - Jonathan Hunt and Peter Wright
Fourth Official - Christopher Sarginson
MS will hopefully give us the skinny on this guy in previous Owls games!!
CURRENT FORM
OWLS -
BORO -
Slightly better form than our but when you look at it a bit more closely three of their wins were against Blackpool, Bolton and Charlton and their loss was to L**ds at home, so maybe not quite a formidable as we think they are!!! (Thats the positive bit!!
)OTHER GAMES OF MILD INTEREST
Charlton v Huddersfield
Fulham v Derby
Leeds v Watford
Reading v Nottm Forest
Rotherham v Millwall
Games this week involve the closet team to us geographically.
THE TEAM
I assume Westwood will come back into the team having served his ban
, but aside from that I am not sure we will see any changes, maybe Hutch in for Semedo, maybe May in for Keane?? And its anyones guess who will be left back, could be any one of Helan, Mattock or Dielna?? Of course what we all want to see is a formation that allows Maghoma to play behind the front two from the start but we know thats not the SG way is it!!Westwood
Palmer Zayette Lees Dielna
Lee Semedo McGugan Maghoma
Nuhiu Keane

DAAAH
The Bastard in the Black is Stephen Martin
Here is our record with him in charge:
Dec 14 - Blackburn 1-2 Wednesday - 1Y
Mar 14 - Wednesday 4-1 Birmingham - 2Y
So basically, he gives us no controversy, few cards and we always win.
According to Wikipedia, he also appeared in Father of the Bride, The Three Amigos & Roxanne.
