Possible team lineup Middlesbrough vs Watford

After our first back-to-back wins of the season we have seemed to hit a bit of form and coincidently it's when SD is forced to make changes due to injuries. A blessing in disguise maybe? Anyway, my team lineup for tomorrows game at M'boro would be:

GK - Loach

RB - Hodson
CB - Nosworthy
CB - Mariappa
LB - ****inson

RW - Yeates
CM - Buaben
CM - Hogg
LW - Deeney

ST - Iwelumo
ST - Sordell

Reason for picking Deeney over Forsyth is we need a more physical side going to M'boro and his confidence is high from the winning goal at Brighton.

 

pretty much agree with Nemo, but maybe Kightly will play over Yeates? (if he's fit enough to play)

from reading this it sounds like he will start on the bench again and maybe come on a bit sooner in the 2nd half

 

We need Yeates for our set pieces!

Id stick to an unchanged team from the last two matches, surely Dyche wouldn't be a fool to drop any players.

 

What and start with Forsyth ???

 

I'd like to see Deeney start ahead of Forsyth - however, I'd have Yeates playing on the left and Deeney on the right if you were to start them both. Yeates is adaptable and could play on both wings - i'd be less convinced by Deeney were he to play on the left.

Still, I don't think Dyche'll drop Forsyth. Expect him to go unchanged if possible - 'if it aint broke, don't fix it' - and maybe bring Deeney on slightly earlier if things aren't going to plan.

 

Forsyth has the potential to be a very good player. It's easy to forget he's only 22 and been used prior to this season being playing against teams that wouldn't made League One if they played in the English leagues. There is a good player in there, and there have been signs of his emergence, particuarly in the Millwall game. However I do think he's had a rough couple of games and looked well off the pace against the Seagulls.

For that reason, here's the team I'd play against Middlesborough.

-----------------------Loach----------------------------
Hodson------Marriappa--------Nosworthy---------****o
Keightly--------Hogg----------Prince------------Yeates
------------Marv-------------Big Chris------------------

Subs: Bond, Thompson, Mirfin, Forsyth, Deeney

Thats if Beattie isn't fit... perhaps Jenkins for Thompson, but I'd like to see our platinum blonde on the pitch again.

 

Why not?

Although he may not be having his best run he has been part of our 2 match winning streak so things are obviously working. Deeney should be brought on late again depending on how the game is going.

 

Leaving aside the dodgy geography, I'm not sure that Deeney's confidence will have been raised by being credited with the goal, given the quality of his shot that led to it.

 

Deeney still got into the Goal Scoring position which then lead to the goal, he clearly changed the game around against Brighton. I think if Eustace and Doyley were fit today Dyche would still start them which is a bit of a shame.
