Match Thread Birmingham vs Leicester

[Motown Fox]

Schmeichel, Albrighton, Wasilewski, Huth, Chilwell, Schlupp, King, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Vardy, Ulloa.

Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Hammond, Lawrence, SImpson, Moore, Kramarić, Okazaki, Fuchs, Nugent

Looks as strong a team as we've got at the minute, I think the only changes for next week will depend on new signings and maybe Morgan for Chilwell.

Chilwell getting a lot of opportunities in these friendlies - looks like he may have a part to play this season.

I think CR made a comment about giving WM some rest, so wouldn't surprise me if he misses the first couple of matches.

Apparently Nigel Pearson is there today...

Looking at that bench it really reinforces the need for signings. There's only Okazaki, Kramaric, and Fuchs, and Nugent to s lesser extent, that id be happy to see in the starting 11.

Why would Pearson be there?

He's got a new job as a steward. If he tells you to sit down you'd better do what he says.

Having not seen Okazaki or Fuchs play in the PL?
Moore, Simpson and De Laet are fine for reserve players.

It's the midfield where we're desperately short.

 

[londonfox]

No I've never seen them play at all but I'm happy to give them a chance to show what they can do. De Laet isn't bad at a stretch but Simpsaon definitely isn't good enough and unless Moore shows significant improvement then neither is he.
