Would be tempting to stick with the same 11 but if Larin is fit enough I'd always start him. Downes I'd be cautious with and bring him back from the bench. Peretz, Bree, Stephens, Schlotterbeck, Manning, Jander, JWP, Matsuki, Azaz, Scienza, Larin.

His defensive work rate has really dropped off this season. To me he just doesn't seem the same in general. Wonder if he's still peeved off about not being in the prem.

Scienza is a classic Brazilian winger isn't he. As fantastic as he can be attacking wise, he doesn't like to do much defensively.

Peretz unreal, Bree loves a worldy and Matsuki is a big game player.

They've had 67 shots in their last two games. Madness.

Was their best player by a mile. Says it all when you've just lost 5-1. They were crap.

That's true. I would never wish a bad injury on someone but...

Whilst I agree, it's not just because of the keeper and striker. They just look a lot more fluid than we do. If we have a full strength team I'd still back us against them - I worry about our ability to beat the lesser sides, especially away.

Bazunu having another blinder

They are moving the ball so much quicker than we did. Pulling Bolton all over the place.

3-0

2-0 and I hate to say it but Boro look the real deal this year

1-0 Boro

Yep. I feel playing Jander softens the blow of Downes but losing Larin is a massive miss as we don't have a suitable replacement.

Larin hasn't trained yet this week 😬
