Babylon Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Not anymore unfortunately. Under Sven all of our home games were for a while. I'd imagine the dynamic trio of Beckford, Mills and Johnson was enough to put them off forever!
Guest Col city fan Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I'd imagine the dynamic trio of Beckford, Mills and Johnson was enough to put them off forever! And what a dynamic trio they were! What a complete and utter fook up!
ARM1968 Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Be a good game. Think we'll win by 2. But Boro are an improving outfit and their new manager seems excellent. Good test.
Bryn Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Greetings foxy friends, boro fan here obviously. Really looking forward to this one, I think it's gonna be a tight and I think we're either gonna scrape a win or it'll be a high scoring draw, probably 2-2. We're in amazing form right now and we've had Kei Kamara out injured as well, Kei should be back for this game so we finally have a decent striker playing, better than relying on Jutkiewicz. For people asking for what formation we play, we play a variation, Karanka likes to change it up between 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 and 4-3-2-1, can see us playing 4-3-2-1 against you as that would be a very Mourinho thing to do and their is similar management styles. Honestly not sure who's Leicester big threats are, nobody in your team particularly stands out to me apart from Nugent and big Wes, who's your biggest threats? Our biggest threats are obviously Adomah, Ledesma and Carayol, if Emnes decides to turn up then you could be up for a real game as well. However Adomah picked up a knock recently so we're not entirely sure if he'll play, but it's likely that he will Nice forum by the way, if you wanna post on a boro forum then http://www.oneboro.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=6 is your only option, all the others are filled with aggressive morons You can't see a threat that stands out because we're top of the league and we've won 6 on the bounce including beating the 2nd placed team away, (having held 3rd to a draw) and hammering 4th. Our entire team stands out.

Bryn Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 No, no well-known players over here but I'm sure Kei Kamara (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) won't get away without signing autographs.
Babylon Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 No, no well-known players over here but I'm sure Kei Kamara (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) won't get away without signing autographs. How can you not know him and their world famous team that in a run of 6 games have beaten the world beaters of Blackpool, Charlton, Reading and Millwall, whilst drawing with Matt Mills and Bolton. Who sit 24th, 20th, 12th, 21st and 16th in the form tables respectively. Although they did beat Burnley.
LMlcfc Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 they will give us a good run for the money, but we are too good at home, 3-1 leicester.

Who sit 24th, 20th, 12th, 21st and 16th in the form tables respectively. Although they did beat Burnley. Of course, the "form" tables being over 6 games, the impact of one result (i.e. these teams losing to Boro) is huge, which makes the above slightly (albeit certainly not completely misleading). It could be that those teams simply ran into Boro at the wrong time. Equally it could be that Boro have got lucky with the fixtures. In a way this reminds me of the Derby game, before which I likened it to our run in 10/11 under Sven - as soon as we ran into good teams we got well beaten (QPR aside) despite thinking beforehand that we were the dog's bollocks for doing the Championship equivalent of beating up disabled kids for their lunch money. Let's not forget that in our great run of six straight wins we've beaten 3 of the sides you've mentioned above and struggled to a win over a Leeds side who had lost four on the bounce, one of which was against Rochdale. Sure, we've beaten Derby and QPR, but as you mention above Middlesbrough have beaten Burnley. I do think we'll win but I can't help but feel that a lot of the posts in this thread seem slightly dizzy-headed.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I think this will be a very tough game personally 2-1 either way
Leicester_Numan Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 The surface at the KP is the reason we can pass the ball with speed and confidence. Best pitch in the league.Not if we win the best matchday magazine award though .
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Boro have started to play slow patient football. 1-0 win to us

I'm well aware of the impact a loss has on the form tables, and I'm well aware of who we have beaten ta. Have you thought that the "dizzy headed" responses are in reply to a "dizzy headed" post by the boro fans who seemingly ignores our form for theirs and dismisses our players?
Carl the Llama Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I agree our team isn't that strong, but on paper I wouldn't have said yours was either, but you play great football and Pearson is doing a good job. Just out of interest, who in this league besides QPR presumably does look good on this paper of yours? Like you I'm surprised that we are where we are, however it's not because we don't look good on paper(which we look incredible on), it's because we're Leicester and my memory of Premier League City is a hazy memory pushed back by a decade of under-performing and false-hopes. in the past few years looking good on paper has been the only thing we've had to cling onto. It's realising that potential which has eluded us.
Leicester_Numan Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 As long as we don't get a ref like a couple of years back when you kicked us off the pitch ....,, ?? Was that the my mates the ref game ?Yep, when Pearson got sent off

But some were getting a little over the top before he arrived. Just look at the Leeds thread the sheep result yet great seems to have made some of us think we are invincible. Some should remember there are no easy games at this level anyone can beat anyone on the day. It don't take a huge dip to get a reverse. (Donny/Wednesday)

Just because yours was it doesn't mean the other posts are. What an unnecessarily snarky reply.

We don't really have any extremely well known players except Emnes who seems to be very overrated by a lot of opposition fans and Jonny Woodgate.

It's realising that potential which has eluded us. This was who looked good on paper at the start of the season, I didn't particularly think you'd be top of the league with a decent gap come this time. I thought you'd be around the playoffs like I thought we would be. I thought QPR would be top by now with Wigan (I forget they're even in the league sometimes now), Bolton and Forest trailing. Then teams like Boro and Leicester below them.
BoroWeasel Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 No, no well-known players over here but I'm sure Kei Kamara (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) won't get away without signing autographs. And not that it means anything, but Kei Kamara has more followers on Twitter than any Leicester player apart from Schmeichel and St Ledger, so he's actually a pretty well known player. Guess you should just improve your football knowledge :-)
