Nick Posted 24 February Posted 24 February Well, I don't bet much but as a certain bookmaker just emailed me with a free five pound bet as I've not logged into my account for many months, I just put it on Boro HT and Leics FT... which in itself is mental but it was a free bet and the odds were 75-1. Come on Leicester (but only in the second half). 1
FoxesTalker Posted 24 February Posted 24 February It’s a big ask to go there and win, but it would be a statement to the teams around us if we were to do so.
Mickyblueeyes Posted 24 February Posted 24 February Boro’s midfield is their strength. Yes, they’ve got goals etc but win that midfield game, it’s over. Depends which Skipp/Winks show up. You’d hope after the second half showing on Saturday they’d be really up for it. But, as we’ve seen so many times this season, that promising performance is normally followed up with a shit, gutless performance.

Jethrolcfc Posted 24 February Posted 24 February We have to go all out to win these games. Draws won’t be enough and we will soon start running out of games 2

I guess it will come down to whether Rowett has made any difference or not. It's clear from some of the very pessimistic predictions made above that many people assume that we're basically the same as we were under Marti and that Rowett's arrival will have negligible impact. I'm choosing to be more optimistic and I genuinely believe we'll give them a proper game this evening. I'm also aware that I my optimism may seem more like blue-eyed naïveté by 9.30pm.

RowlattsFox Posted 24 February Posted 24 February 4 points minimum needed from this and Norwich. If could guarantee we beat Norwich then I'd 100% take a point tonight.

If Middlesbrough come after us relentlessly right from the whistle I think they'll win comfortably, but if they set up wrongly ie Derby, Cov 1st half, we'll bo ok....we're unable to stand up to a hard press, been the same all season and last.

A tidy 0-3 victory followed by a wonderful 3-way hi-five with Top, Rudkin and Rowett in the centre circle. Back south with 3 points in the bag, lovely. If Thomas and Okoli were a border, they’d definitely be Berwick upon Tweed. Invaded and taken over by the Scots a stupid amount of times in history! 1

If our target is to get at least 17 points from our remaining 13 games, then a point from the most difficult of those games will not be 'useless'. 2
Dmitry Posted 24 February Posted 24 February Would be delighted if someone shared the way to watch this momentous match.

If Okoli plays then we are a goal down before we kick a ball. Ricardo back pass to Okoli who then plays it to their midfield. Hopefully Mavadidi has been told that he is allowed to run ahead into the open space where Musaka keeps passing the ball.

Rowett needs some time to work with the players until he gets a clear week then I’m not sure we’ll see much difference other than hopefully a better attitude and some decent in game management from the coaching staff
