The Fan Zone

John Donovan (Twe12th Man ): A must win game for Boro against a dead rubber game for Norwich City, who are managerless after their defeat to Portsmouth. Obviously there will be little or no pressure on the Norwich team for this game, so they could be more relaxed and free to express themselves or the could have no desire for the game. Boro on the other hand will know the have to win, they'll know the Coventry score before kick off, so I'm hoping the motivation will be there to drive them on. But if I honest it's hard to predict what Boro performance we'll get, given our inconsistency this season.
