Just bought a ticket for Middlesbrough U21s

Didn't go to the Burton checkatrade game last week as I feel teh same about this competition as most fans

 

But....having trudged out of Vale Park on Saturday feeling about as low as I've ever been as a Vale fan (far far worse than walking out of Fleetwood on the last day 2 seasons ago) I'm hoping this will do me good

 

I might see a team play with a bit of pride

They might put in a tackle, attack with purpose (God, we may even have some width) and I might, just might enjoy the game, just for what it is, and ignore what the powers to be have done to the competition. And of course I know that the opposition will be (relatively) weak as it'll be a young side they field.

 

Call it therapy. Similar principle as getting back on your bike once you've fallen off

 

I bet I'll be the only one there tomorrow night that is only going because of just how awful Saturday was - and writing this I know I send like I should be sectioned, but I hope that I can start to reconcile how I feel about Saturday with my 40 years of supporting this bloody club

 

By 940pm tomorrow night I might just be on that healing journey - though it'll be along time before anyone forgets of course. If we are crap again and lack any sort of passion, direction, etc etc then I can't imagine where I'll end up

 

Wish me luck. Any other nutcases out there might just want to try it - £10, is almost a prescription charge after all

Its a tuesday and Vale dont generally turn up on a tues .

Id play our under 23s they may have something about them and have the ingredient which most football clubs have that do well ,the WILL TO WIN .

The game i saw the other week v MK dons (my one and only game and sorry i just cannot watch that level of non performance no more being lots of no shows ,in last few years ) once the lad from Aldershot went off there was a little to do about nothing it was so poor and abject .

Amongst all them players surely theres some who play the game to win and not just turn up put the shirt on then go through the motions .

Nothing game but after losing 6-2 v last sat this game becomes a chance for those who havent being given a look in to step up and replace them who on the last 3 league game performance levels deserve be given a stint in the reserves or better still a free transfer out the club .

It is a big opportunity for some of our fringe players to not only make a case for a place in the first team but also a chance to shine in front of the agents who will no doubt be there to poach any potential stars from the Middlesborough youth team...

 

" fringe players "

 

Its a chance for the first 11 [ barring injury doubts ]

 

to play and show everyone that they can do it.

 

I would play our first eleven without question

And players coming back from injury to get a bit of gametime in the absence of any regular reserve games.
