Leicester away

[Amo]

Is Dolan playing? He looks a real livewire!

[Hasta]

As it is international weekend, Leicester will have many first team players missing for this one.

If we get beaten by their reserve side, some people's brains on here will short circuit.

Just hope that Dolan stays grounded if he builds on his early performances for us. 

Also, hope our defence isnt too static this time around.

Will AC/DC be playing as the teams come out?

[tomphil]

I fear Dolan will soon have the livewire drilled out of him if not he'll end up right down the pecking order once the action starts.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Let's hope for a morale boosting victory. Everybody hertz when we lose. 

[DeeCee]

We might breaker way and score

Is what I'm expecting our line up to be, with Darragh and Corry away on Int. duty, Gallagher back fit and in need of pre-season game time, and Nyambe slotting at centre-back with no Lenihan available.

Can't see Carter being dropped as he did pretty well against Doncaster. Williams won't make the team. Reckon Gally and Brereton will swap over. Apart from that I think you're spot on.

That defence will get smashed.

Carter wasn't even on the bench. Think you mean Wharton.

Whoops! Right you are.

Lenihan was an unused substitute in Republic of Ireland's game in Bulgaria tonight. Wonder if he'll play a part on Saturday, or if he'll be given time out. He'll be a big miss if he doesn't play.

Can't see him playing, I think Mowbray will use the game as a chance to 'shock test' his squad for when players aren't available, ie. if Lenihan was injured. Maybe he'll start bench and come on if things happened to get embarrassing

Ireland play again on Sunday.

With only one absentee, our back 4 will be a frightening indicator of what we could field in a league game should we not get on with our transfer business.

Leicester will have plenty on international duty.

This is worse than the Below The Line comments for a David Squires comic in the Guardian.

Have we determined whether this is on YT yet?

[WacoRover]

I believe Gallagher is out. 

The wednesday put up a good fight. But I fear 5-1 or so tomorrow. But what I fear more, is Tony saying he tried to bring in long termers, but was unable to. Nat Phillips isn’t in favor at Liverpool, I expect to hear shortly we have him for season loan. And another just like him. Same as last year, temp fixes, just not as good.

I'd do the same i reckon, although a Nyambe/Wharton centre back partnership lacks some experience/leadership. Might have to play Williams instead of one of them.

So looks like 4-3-3 again with front 3 of Brereton, Armstrong and Rankin Costello.

Magloire in over Wharton to deal with Vardy pace in-behind, Gallagher still out injured, JRC in a further forward role, unless it's 5 at the back with Nyambe, Magloire and Williams a three. Doubt it though.

JRC where he belongs.

You're assuming we're not playing with wingbacks today.

[unleaded]

Year of JRC hopefully ....
