[Archived] **Leicester City v Rovers** Tuesday 26th February

[K-Hod]

I don't expect us to get anything from this game sadly. I thought we were very lucky against them at Ewood as well!!

[Clitherover]

Just looking at Leicester's previous games on BBC Sport and their form is pretty terrible.

SAT 23 FEB 2013 - CHAMPIONSHIP

• Blackpool0 - 0LeicesterFT

TUE 19 FEB 2013 - CHAMPIONSHIP

• Leicester1 - 2CharltonFT

TUE 12 FEB 2013 - FA CUP

• Leicester1 - 2HuddersfieldFT

SAT 9 FEB 2013 - CHAMPIONSHIP

• Peterborough2 - 1Leicester

If form is anything to go by I can see us getting at least a draw tonight, maybe sneak a win.

[Butty]

Was thinking about going too this one but decided against it and purchased Millwall tickets instead. Hope they put in a good performance for those making the trip. Anyone any idea how many tickets we've sold?

[LeChuck]

Is Paul Gallagher likely to play tonight? I always get a bad feeling when our ex players line up against us.

[BlueMonday]

Nowt in this game for us. Our season is already over. The only good thing is I'm more confident that we'll not be relegated this season. Amazing what passes for success these days.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

"I've got a bad feeling about this one. For the first time in ages I'm predicting a loss. 1-2 Blackburn. Wood with ours. Rhodes brace for them."

"Agree about the score. Our confidence seems fragile and I don't think we'll have the belief to keep pressing the game even if we get in front."

"A certain DJ Campbell is bound to score against us spend at least 60 minutes of the game in an offside position..."

"Because on present form it (automatic promotion) is beyond us. Anyone who has seen our last three performances knows we will not make up that gap we do not have it in us. Any opposition knows how to stop us playing now and Pearson has no plan B that is self evident."

"Oh and their keeper is in inspirational form atm, some of his saves against Hull were spectacular."

Nugent's a doubt for the game apparently.

[broadsword]

I don't think he's in their squad any more.

[The Rover of Finland]

No way we pass Brighton on the table so it´s Leicester who we are chasing. Lose today and the gap is 12pts and they have one match more left. Draw isn´t helping much either but wouldn´t be a goodnight kiss yet.

Leicester have been in a very bad form lately which somehow makes me even more sure they win today.

Not to be a Rovers Fan but that's a bit extreme. Win tonight and we're Peterborough at home away from a potential 1 point gap to the playoffs. We've then got a perfectly winnable game to take us to Wembley and the dingles game to keep the record up. The season is not over yet.

[pick32]

Hate playing teams who are in bad form because we just seem to be the spring board for them to turn turn it around. Think we will sit back for 90mins and make no subs because we have no plan b.

Is Paul Gallagher likely to play tonight? I always get a bad feeling when our ex players line up against us.

Looking at his Wiki page, I didn't realise how poor his goal record is.

62 goals from 309 appearances. Including 62 Rovers games and just 8 goals.

[Rover_Shaun]

I cannot see beyond 2-0.

[JonnyBRFC]

Don't think we'll loose this one. I'll go 2-1 with a Rhodes brace, LCFC are poor at the moment.

[tomphil]

Appleton will set out to not loose i would think, that seems his style away from home. We can hope to nick an early goal and then we might draw/win. Anything else will be a big suprise/bonus.

LCFC 3 - Rovers 1

19,890 - 650 hardy Rovers.

Agreed. Our next league fixtures after Leicester are -

P'boro - home

Bolton - away

Burnley - home

Blackpool - home

Cardiff - away

Sheff Wed -away

Derby - home

H'field - home

7 winnable games along with the Cardiff one. Although obviously that is still technically winnable.

[riverside returns]

Much respect to all those making the trip. Wish I could but am away in Cornwall.

[jim mk2]

I wish you lot wouldn't do this.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I wish you lot wouldn't do this.

Although I'm not usually a fan of jinxing things, on every match preview somebody makes at least one comment like that, I even remember seeing one before the Arsenal game, so it's fair to say it probably won't affect the result.

[jim mk2]

Trust me, after 50 plus years of supporting Rovers it is better to fear the worst and then be surprised and delighted when it doesn't happen. Optimism doesn't work and the continual disappointment is bad for your health.

[JAL]

With Bentley and Pedersen in the team, Rovers should have enough about them even though young Rhodes cant run and Murphy and Lowe cant get forward enough to score or create chances for others, so what hope is there for Rovers tonight. R

[neophox]

Rovers win 2-1

Bolton away is a very tough game. I Think Bolton will climb places...Also Cardiff away is tough

[Hasta]

75 points is usually the figure needed to guarantee 6th.

13 games left and we need 30 points out of 39 to reach 75.

Must Win. Simple as really.

[rovers11]

Think we'll sneak this one. Leicester are having a wobble and don't look the same team they did a couple of months ago.

Can see them getting caught out on the break tonight.

1-0 rovers. 4/1 with some bookies for rovers to win. That seems very steep and definitely worth a fiver.

[broadsword]

Despite their wobble, Leicester to be favourites tonight.

We can lock the back door, but we struggle to score ... added to that, we're traditionally the team any side having a bad run should play, as we always lose in such circumstances.

1-0 to Leicester.
