Match Thread Huddersfield v Leicester

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Maguire, Chilwell, Mahrez, King, Ndidi, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Vardy

 

[Miles Away]

Still think Shinji should start.

Glad to see James not in the team. Excited to see the Kelechi/Vardy partnership.

King and Ndidi..... Its going to be a long afternoon..... or maybe even a quick one (if they put us out of our misery early doors)....

King instead of Iborra is an interesting one. I'd have thought if he was fit, Iborra would get the nod but then I don't see him in trainijng week in week out.

Still though, Andy King....... hmmmm.

I love your pre-match Victor Meldrew mood. It wouldn't be the same TB without it.

I suspect Iborra isn't ready for a full 90 minutes in the frenetic Premier league.

Shakespeare will never put 2 or 3 unknown or contentious changes in a must win game. So with Chilwell enforced and Iheanacho demanded by his record/fee I can see why Shakespeare would err on the side of caution with King rather than iborra.
If we do well then we can make 1 further change across the next 2 games to evolve the side rather than make wholesale changes and expect them all to gel at the same time.

We won the league, had a chance to strengthen, and somehow, inextricably, Andy feckin King is still getting a start.

 

[londonfox]

I don't see how King for James is weakening the midfield. Of course I'd much rather Iborra, Silva, or Drinkwater in there but for various reasons they are not available to start today.

Which shows how good a player he is?

Or that he has some pictures. Some really good really compromising pictures

Another classic **** up from Ndidi. My patience with him is wearing a little thin now. He had a half decent game against Chelsea, his first for a very long time but if the first 10 or so minutes of this rubbish is anything to go by he's back to giving the ball away every 2 minutes.

 

[SilverFox]

Cambridge United 1 - Coventry 0.

 

[popillius]

We are missing Okazaki.

 

[SilverFox]

We are missing Okazaki.

Yep.

 

[popillius]

This is the worst performance for some time. Absolutely no movement at all and the midfield camped on the edge of their own 6 yard box. Mooy is sensational - running the show completely. They paid £8m for him; bargain.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We are just holding on at the minute. Seems inevitable Huddersfield are going to take the lead...

 

[SilverFox]

If we make it to half time still honours even we'll be lucky.
