Next up Leicester at home...

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Not exactly sure how it's going to play out, but looking forward to it.
I guess we can certainly expect to concede, based on recent trends! Though it was interesting they only had one shot on target against Leeds on Friday.
Potentially our biggest crowd of the season,thus far. They've sold out their 2563 allocation. Should be some atmosphere.
I hope we can step up to the challenge.
Come on Boro!

I cannot see us winning a defensively we are all over the place. The forwards seem to be clicking. Greenwood looks to be getting better and better.

I can imagine it being 4-3/3-3 sort of game.

If Boro fans are as loud as yesterday - my voice is well and truly shot - then the atmosphere will be good. Rest up this week folks and be ready for Saturday.

No chance are we keeping a clean sheet.

 

[ForssAwakens]

They are on a run of bad form….

.....tells me that Leeds started in the Foxes faces and wouldnt let go. Leicester "arent very good really" is the message - despite soaring away at the top of the Championship. Their fans arent convinced about their trip up to the Riverside next Saturday and expect us to do more than just turn up: https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/133237-middlesbrough-away-111123/ The Foxes have so far met teams who sit deep and expect to break on the counter - because they are scared of Leicester. Carrick will make sure we arent scared of them. They try to use width and are good through the middle, but they struggle against offensive sides. If we are on our game, there can be no reason why we cant take three points off this lot and send Foxes back down their hole.

Could be a cracker. We'll have to be on our game to beat them but Leeds showed that it's possible

Looks like less than 2k tickets currently left on sale. Would expect to easily be over 30k for this one.

I think there are more blocks to be opened up in the south (probably tomorrow).

I'm expecting a sellout tbh.

I'm not sure how many, with Leicester selling all theirs. Might keep a bigger gap. I would leave as late as possible anyway, get more people in the North Stand for example.

Half of 56 and 57 still not released.
54 and 55 , not yet released, but at least partially released for big games in the past.

Would be a nice bonus to have a player back from injury for this one.

Does Howson keep his place? Dijksteel in for VDB?

I expect them to have the majority of possession and we try to hit on the counter.

Would be nice to see a big display from Red Faction..

We will need to play very very well to get anything. They have a decent premier league side on paper and in terms of quality man for man there arguably the best side to play in this league. I know they lost on Friday night but I still except them to walk this league and get around 100 points. I think we need to stay within touching distance of the play offs and then try and get some added quality in January. A striker and some defenders and we could be good to really push on. Fair play for them for selling out. Anything 20 minutes away is a trek for the midlands teams and not many have our away support

Approx 1,900 tickets left on MFC website.

Northumberland Boro correctly points out some tickets have not been released that have been released in past.

However with Leicester selling their full allocation of over 2,500 and with them having a rowdy reputation its possibly there will be significant segregation in place. The block near the Leicester fans in the South Stand are fully sold out take a few tickets, which suggests no more will be released in that area. It usually would have happened by now.

I would expect us to sell at least what we sold against Millwall with regards Boro fans - which was just over 28k add in the Leicester fans and it will be at least 30.5k

Leicester..... rowdy reputation ..... since when

They used to intimidate many fans with their clappers.

The baby squad should be well out of nappies by now (or perhaps back in them ).

Would think the rest of Blocks 56 and 57 will be released tomorrow.That will still allow enough separation.
