Pre Match Leicester v Derby (League cup)

[dpjfox]

Maybe a chance for Wesy and GTF to start and maybe Hammond or James, imo not a high priority game, but it would be nice to get thro with no injuries/suspensions, i think we will im predicting 2-1 GTF and Vardy

I was going to be a twat and say the same thing, but I didn't. Because I'm not a twat.

Get To ****, I don't know about 'Wesy'

Get tae ****?

 

[londonfox]

Is Wesy, Wes Morgan? Cos if so, he played on Saturday? Or is it the Polish guy? Cos that's nothing close to his name?

I'd like to see Wesy rested and Whitbread play. Let's play Bakayogo and Miguel and give full debuts to Hammond alongside James and Taylor-Fletcher somewhere in the attack. And play Schlupp up-front so Nugent can get some target practice back at the training ground.

 

[Hazzman]

Today's Under 21 selection suggests that there is going to be a fair few changes.

 

[Motown Fox]

Gally and Danns were meant to be playing today so RL said earlier.

 

[Miles Away]

Guessing we will see Schlupp, Taylor-Fletcher, Whitebread, Bakayogo.

Possibly James.

 

[FOX Franks]

Ahh, GTF Gary Taylor-Fletcher. Got it.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Ahh, GTF Gary Taylor-Fletcher. Got it.

I thought Wesy was Wes Morgan, but knowing dpj it could be anyone. Any ideas?

Wesy is on Twitter but according to his last tweet he's at the Thanh Ky restaurant in Oakland so I guess he's not likely to play tomorrow. Unless it's an old tweet. Or there could be more Wesy's and the tweeting one is not playing for Leicester. Or both. So who knows.

 

[Brown Nose]

Change 'em all, or change very few. Under the circumstances, with games fast and furious and with a lot of fringe players needing game time, I vote wholesale.

Schmeichel
Wasilewski Whitbread Miguel Bakayogo
Danns Hammond James
Taylor-Fletcher Schlupp Gallagher

 

[Motown Fox]

Has Wasilewski got his International clearance yet?

Schmeichel
Wasilewski Whitbread Miguel Bakayogo
Danns Hammond James
Taylor-Fletcher Schlupp Gallagher

I think I was pretty clear before the last round in saying this is the approach I'd take.

This relates to the under 21 game at Norwich City.Anyone know the team or how we got on?

Fine Loza individual effort enough for win over Foxes
JAMAR Loza scored a stunning solo effort to earn Norwich City’s Under-21s three points as they beat Leicester City 1-0 on Monday afternoon.

The youngster netted midway through the second half, not long after Remi Matthews had saved a Michael Cain penalty, to secure City the victory in a competitive encounter at Colney Training Centre.

Leicester will feel their performance merited something from the match after going close through Joe Dodoo and Brendan Daniels on top of the unsuccessful spot-kick.

The Canaries’ resilience at the back was rewarded as they notched their third league win of the season.

Josh Murphy was omitted ahead of his inclusion in Chris Hughton’s squad for the first-team’s game against Watford tomorrow, while Daniel Ayala and David Fox were given valuable minutes.

Neither side fashioned any clear chances in a quiet opening spell, with Cameron McGeehan heading wide for the Canaries and Jak McCourt shooting over for the visitors.

Dodoo twice should have scored in the final five minutes – initially he drilled wide before somehow managing to lift his header over the bar when free in the box from Harry Panayiotou’s delivery.

HALF-TIME: Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City

Cain and Loza went close in the early stages of the second half, before Leicester had a great opportunity to take the lead when awarded a penalty on 54 minutes.

Callum Elder was brought down in the box by Jacob Murphy, but Matthews was equal to Cain’s spot-kick, diving to his right and parrying before Ewan McNeil cleared the ball to safety.

Daniels then dragged a shot across City’s goalkeeper but too far to see if drift wide of the post, and what followed was a period of pressure for the Canaries that led to the game’s solitary goal.

Firstly Harry Toffolo forced a fine reaction stop from Adam Smith when he met a cross at the back-post with a powerful shot, before Loza eventually found the net in superb fashion on 68 minutes.

The diminutive forward picked up the ball on the halfway line and confidently carried it past three defenders, angling his run to the left side of the box before placing his shot past Smith and into the right hand corner.

It was a blow for the visitors who were well in contention in a tight match, but if anything it looked like City would be the team to get the game’s second goal, with Reece Hall-Johnson having an effort saved.

The luckless Dodoo then sliced a shot well wide from a promising position on 88 minutes to sum up his and Leicester’s day in front of goal, and City took all three points.

FULL-TIME: Norwich City 1-0 Leicester City

Wasn't going to go to this, decided today I would. My seat was still available and it's a prime spot on the end of a row right near the vomitory.

Don't think we'll get above 8 or 9 thousand for this.

plenty of people down the ticket office today buying tickets for this.

14/15k would be my guess.
