jpboro 12 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wasn't the same fixture last year on TV. I'm sure it was. I also remember a cracking game where the only difference between the two sides was their strikers (Nugent I think) ability to finish. And we lost 1nil. I remember thinking we'll do well the rest of that season as we played really good against a strong team. How wrong I was. But unfortunately u think the same will happen. To good teams cancelling each other out and it will be decided by one goal to the team that can convert their chances. Which will probably be them. Think it was. Did Marv not miss a pen in the last minute?? We have nothing to fear here we r playing as well as they r!! 2-0 boro UTB Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wow - amazed at how many posts this thread has got already. Funny what a winning / unbeaten streak can do for forum activity. ;) Anyway, on to the game. A few people have pointed to Leicester's struggles against Leeds - couple of things about that: first, they were away from home and second, they still got the win. They have home advantage for this game, which will only tilt the balance further in their favour. Can't see beyond a Leicester win. They don't really do draws (only 3 all season) and have only lost 5 times. With a GD of +20 Boro will probably have to score twice just to get a draw...which I think we'll struggle to do. Form-wise, its true both sides are very similar, but for once I don't think it will count for anything. Season Record LEICESTER: W18 D3 L5 F47 A27 Pts 57 Pos 1st BORO: W9 D9 L8 F41 A33 Pts 36 Pos 9th Last 6 Games LEICESTER: W W W W W W BORO: W W W D W W Boro Mad stats are somewhat more encouraging (in that they at least give hope for a draw): Leicester v Boro Played: 39 Leicester Wins: 17 Draws: 14 Boro Wins: 8 Leicester Goals: 57 Boro Goals: 46 Last Boro win at Leicester: September 17th 2001 (Leicester 1 - 2 Boro). My Prediction: Leicester 3 - 1 Boro (but would be very happy with a point) Link to post Share on other sites
boroinferryhill 8 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tough game this but i think if we can get in the faces and show them no respect and keep vardy and Nugent quiet maybe just maybe we could get a result.... But we have to be on the metal from the go Link to post Share on other sites
London_born_Boro_bred 29 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Going to be a very tough game if we play like we did against Burnley I can see us nicking a win if we play like we did against Charlton (from what i've heard) we'll lose. 1-1 for me. Actually nah 1-0 to us :) Just had a look at their forum that buzzer is rather good looking :D Link to post Share on other sites

Funny what a winning / unbeaten streak can do for forum activity. ;) Spot on AR and really pleased to see it. The Charlton thread had over 600 posts and slowly but surely the match thread activity is creeping up. Can see this one being a high post count as well. We are also getting a very healthy number of new members on line who are admitting to being long time lurkers.........all we need is for a few of our older members like Tyler Curtis Dunerezzz etc to come back. Even Borocoxswain is back posting which is great though I have not see Raf for a while:) Oh and I sincerely hope a few Foxes fans might participate for certain reasons Link to post Share on other sites

Weasel 965 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 "BoroWeasel.... your recent run of form could very easily be a false dawn. Your team, though bouyed by Karanka is pretty average to be fair. I'm surprised that Mowbray didn't make it better. In reality, he seemed to take you backwards. I have little fear about playing you on Saturday and I reckon you'll be impressed with how we are playing. You're coming down to earth with a bump my friend. 3-1 Leicester City " Well, they're confident! Link to post Share on other sites

jamesp 125 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 they have a good right to be confident as they are running away with the league but they arnt giving us the credit we deserve imo. this will be a very different boro to one they have played before. if they are expecting an easy game they will certainly be in for a shock Link to post Share on other sites
