Pre Match Leicester v Sheffield Wednesday

[camberwell fox]

Tuesday 13/2, 7:45pm kick-off.

Let's hope that Enzo reminds the team of the reverse fixture result and the way the game played out in November 2023.

I believe they scored in the 93rd minute to salvage a point and that we were sloppy and complacent throughout the game.

If we must sit back at any point to conserve energy, let's try and get a couple of goals first.

They will probably view this as a free hit, and are really in the mire languishing second bottom in the league.

Probably won't make the same errors with selection as he did back then. Hopefully. Maybe. Possibly.

Most definitely the last time our talisman is going to face the home town club that threw him on the scrap heap.

He has absolutely nothing to prove, but you better believe he’ll be up for this game more than any other this season.

This is a game that Jamie Vardy surely has to start. I’ll bring the vodka.

Looks like only N’didi and Nacho unavailable with Vesty hopefully fit and ready to go.

He is on 9 cautions though so one more would trigger an automatic 2 game ban.

He's actually played a dozen games since his last booking. Considering his first suspension for five yellows came up after just nine appearances he does seem to have sorted out how to avoid them a little.

That’s bloody good away form ( home form ain’t bad either)

I would keep Nelson in. Keep him for Leeds.

Is this one of those nights all matches are on the Sky Sports app?

Is this one of those nights all matches are on the Sky Sports app?

Yes. All championship matches originally scheduled to be played midweek are on the Sky red button, Now TV bonus stream etc.

Isn't there another game before the one against Leeds?

 

[bocadillo]

Yes. All championship matches originally scheduled to be played midweek are on the Sky red button

This game was not originally scheduled to be played midweek.

Isn't there another game before the one against Leeds?

A: Yes. We've got Middlesbrough on Saturday. Isn't that right, Blaarev ?

Yes it was.

Makes no sense. We were completely disorganised at times against Watford. He makes such a difference to the way we play, especially his passing range. For all Nelson's potential, he's not a patch on what we have seen from Vestergaard this season.

Remember when we weakened our side last time we played Sheffield Wednesday? Play your strongest eleven, every game you can.

Yep I'd play Nelson against Middlesborough too.

Yeah, I see the logic. But I think we can afford to take the risk and progress a junior player at the same time. Vestergaard probably won't be here next year. Nelson will.

Count your chickens when they hatch, never before.

Surely as a LCFC fan this should be engraved on your brain.

I certainly hope so!
