Dunk to add some height up front along with Ulloa, and take some of the heavy work load away from our isolated Argentinian striker. Lua Lua to help bring the ball out of defence and help launch attacks from deep. Playing in a more advanced position, Ince can bomb on more than he has done before, knowing there is back up behind him. And definitely encourage Bruno and Ward to support the attack where possible.

I don't see that Lua Lua can start, he doesn't have 90 minutes concentration in him, fades in and out of the game and his crossing of the ball is a lottery for guys in the middle. Surely we must see Stephens and or LOpez in the middle

Unlikely, to say the least!

After Ipswich, I'd like to see some urgency and passion (Calde) and someone keen to pass the ball forward (Kemy). Both radical and out-dated iideas, I know ... And let's see if March can play the first 20 minutes of a game, as he struggles to get into the final 20.

Totally disagree re LuaLua. It is an occupational hazard for wingers. The criticism you raise could equally be said about Buckley, March and just about every winger in the championship.

Lua Lua consistently crosses the ball to one of two places (a hard low cross to the near post or an overhit far post floater). Surely the strikers should know where both those places are?

Kuszczak

Calderon~Dunk~Upson~Ward

Buckley~Stephens~Ince~Lualua

Ulloa~Lingard



Time to try something different. Dropping Dunk has resulted in two losses, so I want him back. Bruno ****ed up in Sheffield so he's out, besides Calderon and Buckley make a great partnership down the right. Square pegs in square holes throughout the team, Boro won't be expecting that set up either.

Ulloa and Lingard is a classic big man/small man combination up front, in a classic English 4-4-2.

The time has come to roll up our sleeves, cut out the diving and time wasting, harden up and smash these all comers to pieces. Possession and aggression, fire, pride and passion. The eye of the tiger.

Sorry have to totally disagree, he puts out some whinging tweets about not getting a full game, is given the opportunity and doesn't perform. His tactical awareness is poor, he holds up play, cannot cross the ball consistently and his shooting, which has clearly been curtailed is about luck, not judgement. He should not start,

Provided Stephens and Ulloa are back:
4-3-1-2, leaving Ulloa slightly behind the wingers so he isn't as Isolated
