Big test for Magloire today.

That back 5 isn't looking particularly strong.

When is Kaminski out of Isolation?

Uhh...Lenihan out altogether because he was an unused sub for Ireland the other night? This is our last friendly, we play in a week...not too happy about that. Should be as close as possible to the Bournemouth side. And Magloire, really?

Fisher
Nyambe Magloire Williams Bell
Travis Johnson Holtby
Brereton Armstrong JRC

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.

                   Fisher
Nyambe Magloire Williams Bell

              Holtby

        Travis Johnson 

   JRC                 Armstrong
           Brereton 

That formation makes more sense to me. It's Williams over Wharton. Carter will come on for Magliore. With Bell at LB, we'll concede. Will Holtby make it to be subbed and when will Brereton miss an open net (okay he didn't against Barrow)? We've got precisely two healthy forwards in the squad and both are playing.That makes me extremely nervous.

Yes Lenihan is out but for Christ sake, get some fecking defenders in!! We’re one week from the start of the season. A blitzing today may not be the worse thing if it opens some eyes further.

What time is kickoff?

1-0 Leicester. Vardy leaves Del flat footed and cooly slots home beyond Fisher.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

What's up with Gallagher?  Thought he was supposed to have had a slight knock (back when we played Fleetwood).

Sorry if I missed Some mentioning it. Apparently it is live and free on Leicester’s You Tube channel

We clearly need to 4 or 5 players to our current squad. Mainly 2 defenders and left back. 

Mowbray need to be busy this week.

Correct it is.

Positives: Nyambe back in the starting XI, and it looks like we'll see JRC playing in a wide forward position. Thumbs up from me on both counts.

Negatives: That defence is going to have a torrid time against Barnes, Vardy, and Gray. Ndidi could well be running the show in midfield.

Either way, looking forward to a free football fix and the season getting nearer. #COYB... or #COYR?

 Ndidi forced to play cb according to Leicester fans because they are short of options 

[Cherry Blue]

Had a link with LCFC TV on their website from U23 game at Leyland earlier this year which still works. Excellent TV station apart from the home bias.

Mulgrew & Del to Leicester ???

[RovingRover]

Why start Brereton and Armstrong if you don't have a striker available for the bench?

Utterly baffling.

[DanielMB]

Derrick Williams........

Cos that front 3 will start at Bournemouth. So why not start them?

[Prelude]

Bell and Johnson nearly both got assists from Throw ins! ...... For Leicester! ??

[Amo]

Did someone say we had a promotion team? 

[Boroblue]

According to the commentary our defending is open,reckless and naive.

[Mercer]

Think we'll need another ball throwing on - only way we'll get a kick!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Who coaches these players? Both  Bell and Johnson have both thrown the ball in field and given it away twice.  Under tens wouldn't do that.  I despair.

Coverage is good on Youtube. 

[DanielMB]

Defensively naive is pretty bang on the money. The good thing about this match is that we will be tested defensively.
