After 2 wins back to back I think the team picks itself barring no injuries. It now looks unlikely that Neil Danns and Jermaine Beckford have a future at the club after Nigel has frozen them out. So here is what I would go with Schmeichel De Laet Morgan St. Ledger Konchesky Marshall Drinkwater James Knockaert Nugent Vardy Subs- Logan, Whitbread, King, Dyer, Waghorn, Futacs, Schlupp
Same 11 but in the 4-2-3-1 that we've been playing: Schmeichel De Laet - Morgan - St Ledger - Konchesky James - Drinkwater Vardy - Knockaert - Marshall Nugent Subs - Logan; Whitbread; Danns; King; Dyer; Waghorn; Futacs Went for Danns because, especially in an away game, he's a good option to come on and close out a game with his energy and combativeness. Still not convinced he's been 'frozen out' like Mills was.
With Danny Drinkwater, Matty James and Andy King all playing well and Richie Wellens set to return. Danns days are numbered
Think King should definitely be in the first team, but then it doesn't send out the right message to change a winning side (though I'm sure Alex Ferguson would return the likes of Rooney straight away regardless of the previous team's result). Also definitely agree with playing one up front, and in my preferred 4-2-3-1 position, when away, think it might stop us being outplayed in midfield in the first half as has been our ilk this season. Btw it's an away match so we'll lose whatever team's played, just saying
We have a good record at Boro, so depending on how you look at it, we'll either keep our good run going or we're due a defeat.
Yeah I remember when we won 3-0 there and Darren Eadie scored and when he was celebrating he about knocked Robbie Savage out cold I wont forget when we lost 1-0 there when Frank Sinclair scored an own goal from near the halfway line
3 nil up at boro two seasons ago after Yakubu Hatrick. Weale saved a pen, Bruma sent off and they scored the equaliser in last minute. Gutted although mental game Same team as against Hull. King to score after coming on and win 0-1
I will guess your score. Boro 1-1 Leicester Nugent for you and Juketevicks for them. Sorry, I aren't quite sure how to spell his name.
3-0 Leicester City I ferking hate the smoggy bastards. Ayresome Park was a nasty place to visit in days gone by and I got a more punches and kicks there then anywhere else ... Hull City to beat Peterborough as well.
I would be happy with a draw - our away form is abysmal. BTW What reception does NP get at Middlesborough - he was their captain for years.

Getting through the turnstyles to see 300 of their skinheads at the top of the steps hurling coins, rocks, stones and bottles down on us. Didnt believe you could get so many Leicester fans behind one derelict caravan. Oh, the good old days.
Thats a good match to bounce back on, but i wouldnt underestimate them, Ferguson NEEDS a win, then again i'd rather play Pboro than Mboro at the mo. Hopefully we can pinch a draw, or ride our luck a bit longer and steal a win

It's often the easy games we have lost in the past..
Read an interesting fact in the program when we played Peterborough and it is still true; they haven't won an away game since Boxing day - 26th December 2011!
Healthy position to be in - same team should start but if we are not winning by, say 70 mins, AK should come on and see if his finishing ability can be the difference ,, if that's the case he gets to start the next game ... simples.
As long as we are not behind at half-time, we have a chance of winning I think. Think Pearsonwill put King back in the team but by all accounts James didn't do too much wrong last sunday. Was he just deputising (for King) though?
Interesting that DD said he enjoyed playing alongside James after the Hull game. James wouldnt score as many as King in a season, but probably allows more freedom to DD to dictate a game.
