Bench ....

Vardy, Marshall, Logan, James, Schlupp, Moore and Futacs

 

[dpjfox]

maybe Moore is injured oops sub

So if we take up the same shape and system thats been winning matches recently it means Waghorn is playing on the right wing.

Christ on a cross-trainer.

 

[H T B]

In Nigel we trust?

In Nigel we trust?

We've won 5 in a row. So yes.

Has Vardy been playing there and I've missed it then?

 

[SJN-Fox]

Waggy's playing up front with Nugent.

How do you know? Shakey on the radio?

If that's the case, I'd have gone for Funcats

Just seemed to me as though it settled into a 4-2-3-1 recently, Vardy, Knockaert and Dyer in behind Nuge. But as SJN has said its probably a straight 4-4-2.

Still fancy us though.

[lanxfox jnr]

Oh god why is Waghorn playing? Ffs

 

[Kingy_85]

Waghorn will prove all of you fickle bunch wrong! I have faith Martyn. I have faith.

 

[H T B]

We've won 5 in a row. So yes.

I agree, but some of the comments on his team selection makes you wonder about others.

 

[Macky]

How is it 'fickle' if they've always said he's shite?

 

[Brown Nose]

Unlike the manager, we can only judge by what we see in matches. With this in mind, the team selection is odd, the formation chosen even more so. Whitbread hasn't shown anything that gives me any confidence in him. He was very poor when he came on against Bristol City. Waghorn has been poor whenever I've seen him this season, and hasn't done anywhere near enough to merit a starting place. Starting 4-4-2 away from home hasn't worked so far either. Pushing Knockaert out wide at least partially nullifies our most creative player. It also isolates our central midfielders.

Listening to Shakey on RL, it certainly seemed as though Birmingham have surprised us with their selection so we've not picked a team for tactical reasons. All we can do is hope NP knows what he's doing.

 

[Miles Away]

No surprises there really. I'm going to hold opinion on Waghorn, the last time I saw him play regularly was when he was on loan and he did pretty well then.

He probably is poo but I haven't seen it yet.

Go on Waggybum, get a goal.

 

[Miles Away]

Also, a fairly strong Brum side:

Butland, King, Davies, Morrison, Caldwell, lovenkrants all useful.
