Hopefully these 3 dont quite make it time for satuday

Now not that I would wish injury on anybody, if these 3 are not included in Boros line up tomorrow, that would be a HUGE advantage to us.

Our back four are more than capable dealing with big centre forward target men (ie Kevin Davis and Andy Caroll who have both been dominiated by our defence), but they seem to struggle with strikers with pace and trickery.

We all know what Emnes can do against us, but another hugely talented young man is McEachran. Pace, skill, awareness he has the lot, and while I would enjoy seeing him perform as a neutral, I think he would have a field day against our back 4.

Woodgate is class on his day and I expect Boro are weaker without him, but I think Nooney would enjoy running at him.
