Semi-interesting fact:

We've only lost two away games north of the Midlands since Dec 2005 (two calendar years ago). Both were at Sheff Wed. The last one was over a year ago.

Maybe gives those venturing North on Tuesday a reason for optimism.

nice little fact

Any injury news on injuries.Who do we have available up front?

According to OS, it's the same as Satdee.

So basically Hume, Cort or the young 'un's. I was told that Kee was recommended for a shot out of the young lads but senior staff went against it because of age.

Surely the only question is is he good enough?

DJ is still out.

Odhiambo, Chambers, Kee and Sappleton

Plus Hume if desperate

But I betcha Cort plays.......

 

[Scarby]

Ollie did say that CC would most likely if fit, and im sure even if he isn't 100% he will play.

Be nice to see Ash and Reneil link up.

It's probably the fact that I went to both of these games!!

Incidently I couldn't get to the Wednesday game this season cos I was working and we won 2-0!!!!

 

[dpjfox]

2 games lost? when was the 3-0 pne defeat?

 

[foxin_oz]

It really doesn't matter who is playing upfront. If the midfield aren't creating chances the best we can hope for is another 35 yard screamer from King or a Sheehan free kick. Sappleton and Chambers should get another chance to be abused by the Mongies though. :icon_roll

 

[fosseman]

So it's the same shower that played against Southampton. I know IH has got few options but it's significant that the exotic foreign signings don't get a look-in, even with such an awful injury list. They must be really poor!

I have since been told he's got a slight injury. I also got told Cort's wages and Mattock's current bank balance. :icon_conf

 

[foxin_oz]

The song that most matches my mood would be ... sorry, wrong thread.:icon_redf

Come on Leicester

Come on Leicester

A very good and honest post.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but Olly in his press conference after So'ton said that Newton and Hayes were the only out and out wide options he had.

Either they are really poor or someone obviously hasn't told him about a certain Benfica player we have on loan, or the dutch guy called Sergio, or that other guy who I won't mention but has only appeared once for us in a game that never happened.

They don't exist. All figments of the imagination.

And are we sure that Hellings natural position is left mid? Has anyone actually seen enough of him to determine what his position is?

We've had a lot of crap and strange goings on over the last few years, but the refusal to acknowledge the existence of Hellings, Kaebi and Ferreira this season by FOUR different management teams has to be the weirdest and most mind-boggling thing. I just can't make sense of it. Even if they are just crap, Elvis still gets a mention! And whenever the reserves team is mentioned, Kaebi always still seems to be mentioned as part of a "strong reserve lineup", featuring "members of the first team squad"... I would love to know what the deal is with them...
