Match Thread Burton Albion v Leicester

[Graz]

Kramarić hits the bar.

Already? I know it's only a friendly but this is no time for a drink!

Any word on if the front 3 is 3 across (ie 2 playing wide) or is one of them 'in the hole' behind the other 2? I can see that being Shinji's role

 

[Jeff]

Half time 0-0

 

[Motown Fox]

Entertainment level not much tonight.
Matt Elliott being generous with 5 out of 10.

Every snippet of pre season I've listened to gives the impression we're not very creative or clinical

Sounds to me like we need a new midfielder. I can't understand why no one else has noticed this...

Wasn't it the same last pre season?

 

[Graz]

On the plus side 'still 0-0' is trending on Twitter - so we're clearly not the only ones involved in a dull friendly tonight!

 

[Jeff]

Goal for Vardy

 

[Jeff]

2-0. Another for Vardy

He's having a party

Full time Burton 1 Leicester 2

So we probably do not need a Post Match Thread then to discuss the scintillating tactics and goal mouth incidents?

Happy days

I closed the Lincoln match thread, and nobody could be bothered to start a post-match thread, some people posted about the match in their status instead.

So I left the Mansfield match thread open, and no one commented about the match after it had finished, it turned into a discussion about Danny Simpson.

 

[Jeff]

CR is very sad for the goal we conceded in the last minute.
He's not happy, but he's confident.
Another eleven players will play all 90 minutes tomorrow.
The team against Brum may not be the first choice eleven, we may have new players to look at.
James Chester - Speculation. Won't talk about potential signings.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

So who is left that did not play tonight. No Morgan, James or Cambiasso. I am going tomorrow. Will I just see Mahrez, Schlupp, Nugent and a bunch of kids against a Championship side?

I expect the team will be:

Schwarzer
Moore
Simpson
de Laet
Schlupp
Drinkwater
Lawrence
Barmby
Mahrez
Nugent
Ulloa
