And Boro's new star, Sean St Ledger, is up for the challenge.
St Ledger: "Only a few months back I wasn't in the squad at all and now I have got five caps.
"It's been really, really quick, coming from Peterborough and then Preston, it has been a whirlwind experience.
"But it's something I am really looking forward to. When I was at Peterborough, it was really, really small and now I am playing on one of the largest stages you possibly can.
"It's like a dream come true."
