I'm probably in that crowd of happy incredulous people behind Walker's goal. I remember the feeling watching Sinclair pass back thinking that's a bit fierce, wouldn't it be funny if the Keeper didn't get to it, then it was like watching it in slow motion as the ball went into the net. We hadn't been playing particularly well and the goal was harsh on the Foxes but have to admit to not caring. Time and memory does play tricks on you as if asked I would have sworn that Sinclair was on the right side of the pitch at the time he passed back.

i love how unexpected it is that the cameramen almost miss the goal lol

I think at the moment, one of our lads is more likely to stick the ball past Dieng. Either that or he'll come out to do his sweeper-keeper thing and do a horrible mis-kick.

Looking like a big crowd tomorrow at the Riverside hopefully we see a big performance from the boys before the international break

Carrick in some interview on News Now Boro now grudgingly accepting that we are conceeding some unnecessary goals by giving opponents too much room. Hopefully he has been working on this with the squad. We will know by 5 pm tomorrow.

It's been glaringly obvious all season, it's a pity it's taken this long to mention it. Proof will be in the pudding tomorrow if we've addressed the issue

I was in the North Stand for that one.  I knew it was going to happen before it did as you could just see Walker quite far out and Sinclair not even looking before playing it back to him.  If I remember rightly that was right at the start of the game and we were bloody awful for the rest of it but won 1-0.

Yeah that match report is how I remember it.  Matt Piper caused us some problems down our left hand side I think, we were rubbish to be honest, and Leicester were one of the worst teams in Premier League history as well so it's not like we were up against a good side.  Following weekend we beat Everton in that FA Cup QF where nothing seemed to happen, and then for 10 mins before half time we went mental and scored 3 goals.  Then nothing much happened in the second half either and we were into the Semi Finals, hurrah, where an injury ravaged Boro should have beaten eventual double winners Arsenal. At the end of that month the Queen Mother died, and I'm sure it was announced whilst we were playing Spurs in a Saturday tea time game at the Riverside that was on Sky, a 1-1 draw with a Queudrue freekick.  It must have been the Easter weekend cos I was at Derby County on the Monday after that when we won 1-0 with a goal from Mustoe.  I think we won at Old Trafford around that time as well, then lost to Arsenal in the cup, then finished the season as poorly as we started it.

We will know as soon as Leicester score lol

Dont fancy us today. 2-1 Leicester.

Really ensure of what to expect today. I can see us getting a 2-0 win and getting back to our form. I could also see us getting pumped 4-0 as Leicester try to prove a point after their defeat to Leeds.

 

I just have my fingers crossed that the Manager of the Month curse hits them hard today!

Could go either way really. One of them games where we really turn it on and surprise everyone, or we get turned over. So I'll go for a 2-2 draw. Leicester to go 2 up in the first half before we pull 2 back in the second. 

 

1. Which of Silvera, Rogers and Latte Lath deserve to start this game (if any) and why? None. All decent players, but I dont think the players in their positions deserve to be dropped. 

2. Starting 11?

I'd start:

Dieng

Dijk Mcnair Fry Engel

Barlaser Hackers

Jones Crooks Greenwood

Coburn 

But i think we'll probably see VDB and Howson in there. 

3. Score prediction?

See above

4. Predict Carrick's outfit for this one, will we see the Grey jumper?

Santander outfit. (I initially wrote Santa outfit there, but I prefer the autocorrect tbh)

5. Since it's Leicester, what's your favourite Walkers flavour of all time? (I know it's the black packet Barbecue)

Walkers max cheese and onion.
