    Should be a tough game tonight but I would expect we will get an idea of Alexander's thinking for the team against Wycombe.

    Last year in the game against Sunderland the starting 11 of that game was basically the starting 11 for the MK game.

    I would hope we see a good chunk of the team getting 70+ minutes with a view to them getting at least 80 minutes on Saturday.

    Looks like it should be a good attendance for a pre-season game with blocks B,C and D sold out and E nearly sold out

    I don't think there will be anything from our side and I can't see any stream listed on Middlesbrough's website so doesn't look to be anything.

    I've just been told by someone that they've seen online Middlesbrough are wearing their home kit at the request of the referee which seems strange to me as I would have thought our home kit will clash with their home kit which is all red unless we are wearing the away or 3rd kit. Their away kit has black socks and shorts which would clash with our home shorts and socks but surely it would be better for them to clash than the shirts.

    Genuinely had no idea this match was on until seeing this thread. Guessing we are roughly at the stage now where the first 11 might start?

    Parker reporting that it's Hunt and Magloire is nowhere to be seen.

    According to their forum, they left it to the last minute for their last game, so that supporters were not dissuaded from attending.

    I thought that might be the case with Huntington on the bench.

    I can see us signing Jack Hunt, hope so, his experience could be useful for us this season.
