They will be of course you're right there ...but their presence in the team will give that team, a big lift unfortunately .. |  |

Regardless of him playing, our midfield will need to be considerably better than it was on Tuesday night. It reminded me of some of our games last season where we just got totally bullied through the middle of the pitch. I really felt for Dara. He had a decent game and you could see how f00ked off he was. |  | |  |

Totally agree. I'm concerned they're going to find it all too easy to play through us on Sunday. We're best when we can funnel teams wide, but Boro are probably the narrowest team in the division. We've got to try and make the pitch big ourselves and stretch their box 4 midfield. |  | |  |

Morris is really decent in the middle. |  |

I mean Hackney is that good. Will be playing in the Prem next season for a better team than us. |  |

Agreed. He's clearly a good player but people, including the media/commentators go way OTT. Can't remember what game I was watching and he made a few fairly simple passes and they're lauding over him. Weird. |  | |  |

No, he's an exceptionally gifted player. He would've been ideal next to Matusiwa as the chief ball progressor. Here's hoping we have a second chance at nabbing him this summer. |  | |  |

Needs a midfielder with balls and that isn't cajuste or Neil it's Taylor, You can see what it means to him in his eyes he wants to win, |  | |  |

Can't agree Cressi; I really rate Hackney & fully expect him to become Premier League regular over the next couple of years. |  |

Not a great time for our two most influential players to suffer with a loss of form! (Both due to injury). |  |

| Hackney could be the difference on Sun on 00:41 - Apr 17 with 794 views | armchaircritic59 | According to comments I read from their manager earlier this evening, they initially expected Hackney back for the match against Millwall. As he said, unfortunately it's taken longer than expected. He wasn't to be drawn on whether he'd be able to play any part on Sunday, but the article writer had him down as expected return against Watford on I believe, the weekend after next. As for Whittaker, more chance of a return in some capacity on Sunday. I would have a salt cellar close by, if you get my meaning. |  | |  |
