Forss is the only surprise for me.

Got to be injured if that team ends up being correct.  I know we joke a bit about team selection but I think if Forss is fit he'd be playing up front for us in that type of line up.

People have been begging for Carrick to try something different. This is certainly different. Let's see how we end up playing before sticking the boot in. It could be a 433 for all we know, with mcnair in a more traditional defensive midfield role.

People have been asking him to pick a side that makes some sense not just to try something different.

3 at the back wouldn’t be that different, we’ve played it a few times this season including last time we played Leicester.

Let's get this heavy defeat out of the way and then go on another 6 game winning streak. Then we will be right back in the mix 👍🤓

Gonna watch for comedy reasons only.

I remember when Mowbray started using the random team formation and selection phone app. Feels like that here.

 

Injuries will have forced his hand to an extent.  The only two in that team that seem odd to me are Glover and Silvera but that's only if Dieng and Forss are fit and available.

Carrick will be here next season I have no doubt with that 

Happy with that team if it is the one Michael Carrick goes with

Another game to add to the list this season when injuries continue to play such a massive impact on our season. If players return & we start to improve as the season nears the end then maybe we can look forward to a summer of transfer activity with some, dare I say, mouth watering suprises

If that is the line up tomorrow,  I actually feel we can contain them for long periods. Not sure if it would be enough to get some sort of result but far more confident than I would be seeing us with Greenwood in the side

That could easily happen Bosco....With lath and mcgree back I feel we will go on a run at some point but still fall short of play offs by around 8pts at least

https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-predicted-team-vs-leicester-28649213 Craig Johns thinks Forss is fit and playing, along with Dieng.  Looks like 5221 to me.

I reckon a narrowish defeat by one or two goals.  I don't think we'll get battered.

Doing all of our transfer dealing on Wish.

On the FMTTM thread where the team was posted someone reckons Hackney is out for possibly the rest of the season, and Howson until April.
