Interesting Team

 

[Bigbee]

interesting

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

So Derv is sticking around?

 

[Leedsbee]

Going to need a bigger Rob Rowan honours board. Hope Halil and Saman show us what they can do.

 

[Ioweddie]

Come on Derv

 

[filmyfan]

Whats the midfied do we think...3 or 5 ?

 

[TW3Bee]

Middlesbrough line up.

 

[IslandBee]

Who is Gordon?

 

[alexcavell]

Looks like we're taking no chances at all with most of the first team.

I assume Stevens will be playing holding midfield like at Maidenhead.

It will be interesting to see how the debutants do - Gilbert's style reminds me a bit of Robert Pires.

 

[wanderer paul]

Who is Gordon?

Hero of the Sudan.

 

[Hungerford Bee]

5 Subs, we only need 5 Subs!

 

[fencer/bee]

Who is Gordon?

Never seen him but heard he is a bit flash

 

[RitchBee]

Who is Gordon?

left back in b team

 

[Dazza]

Who is Gordon?

Lewis Gordon. Left back, signed after his release from Watford in the summer

 

[hardybee]

Only 5 subs, thought Goode might of got a start and given Pinnock or Sorensen a rest, must not be fit enough.

 

[ITK]

Who is Gordon?

A singular gin

well we’ve only got 2 midfielders in the squad!! Guessing stevens or Roerslev DM. A bit more rotation than expected! Obviously taking no chances with our remaining 3 first team midfielders.. hope they’re not basing dervisoglus future solely on this game. Could be a bit of a lottery

 

[Dazza]

Probably why Stevens was playing DM for the B team earlier this week then. Not just to get Mads some game time but probably with an eye on this game

 

[jbee]

Intrigued to see Gordon, we don't exactly have a lot of options at left back at the moment.

Could be a complete lottery as you say. Then again the whole 3rd round has been the same. I steered clear of the fixed odds today

he struggled a bit to be honest!! Hopefully he’ll do better today..

 

[Mr Cynical]

How strong is Boro’s side?

 

[Ruislip_Rich]

Looking forward to seeing Gilbert. He has impressed me most times I've sèen him play.

 

[Untouchable]

Who is Gordon?

Flash

 

[GuyBee]

Who is Gordon?

I dunno, but I have it on good authority that he is alive!

 

[davido_i]

Who will play defensive midfield??

 

[Les Beeavinu]

How strong is Boro’s side?

Not far off first team.

 

[Houghton Bee]

Who is Gordon?

One of Sir Topham Hatt's bigger engines, usually pulls the express.

 

[vcmazz]

Hero of the Sudan.

Sudan international?

 

[North London Bee]

I said Gordon would start - Lucky guess.

Stevens

 

[seanrs]

Who is Gordon?

Not sure but Jilted John wasn’t very complimentary about him

 

[StevieSteve]

Gutted that can't be sitting freezing my arse off having forked out a tenner to watch our B team against a Warnock-inspired Boro squad remnants XI

#magicofthe cup

 

[Nickabee]

Bees and Ipswich are last legs on a bet with 3 teams that have already won. Done 5 teams in any 4 from 5 and all 5 . To be honest wouldn’t of included Bees at 4/9 but still expect us to win.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Boro stronger than I'd expected so I think it could be a long evening for our defence

 

[jlove]

'Boro fans think that's an attacking line-up for them.

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Boro stronger than I'd expected so I think it could be a long evening for our defence

Not surprised TBH. Usual bollox from Colin

 

[liverbee]

That should be strong enough. We could do with another little run to give the boys a run-out and in the event of postponements. Then take it from there.

 

[Dazza]

he struggled a bit to be honest!! Hopefully he’ll do better today..

He did yeah but they clearly think he can play there so yeah, hope for better today!

 

[Beast of Frankfurt]

Just read on Bees app that the FA have said we can name 9 subs, surprised we've only named 5.

 

[shandrani]

Patrick Roberts, unfulfilled potential at Man.City & Fulham.

 

[Mr Cynical]

'Boro fans think that's an attacking line-up for them.

oh dear. Could be a long evening!!

 

[Nickabee]

Just read on Bees app that the FA have said we can name 9 subs, surprised we've only named 5.

BFC have asked for 4 fans to step up

 

[Houghton Bee]

Bloody hell, praise from Mark Lawrenson on the Arsenal game commentary, said we're a good team

Danny Murphy , first mention for Brentford being a good team in the commentary of arsenal v newcastle 3 minutes 45 seconds.

Ah silly me, similar miserable scouse voice.

 

[Mr Cynical]

Going to be a tough game with that midfield. We really are down to the bare bones for this, just hope we can get the ball to the front 3/4 so they can show us what they can do. Guessing hammar must be injured too? He’d have slotted in to the DM slot nicely..
