I've been following the game on here and reading all the Mackems comments about loads of other things besides. But like on here when a thread is about one thing but we end up talking about other things besides.

They really are shit.

Crazy how much they've fallen since we secured a big win at their place in the title winning season

I’m married into Mackems, so I’m well aware of how they feel about their club. To be fair, most of them seem to be realistic about where they are.

Leicester City’s Under-18s will get their FA Youth Cup campaign underway with a Third-Round tie against Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium.

Full details of the fixture, which must be played by Saturday 14 December, will be confirmed in due course, as City’s youngsters look to build on last season’s run to the latter stages.

The Foxes beat Fulham, Crewe Alexandra and Bolton Wanderers en route to the quarter-finals in last season’s competition and are again among the Premier League and Championship sides who enter the tournament at the Third Round stage.

They played 3-4-1-2 in the last game.

They played 3-4-1-2 in the last game.

ah ok, though I thought we had all academy teams play the same system as the first team, that should also include the U23s

2-0, Eppiah

I don't think there's any harm in changing the formation, if the opponents, or available players, mean a different way of playing will be more effective.

3-0, Muskwe.

Derby are second in the league.

 

[Jeff]

3-1

 

[Jeff]

4-1, George Thomas

 

[Brown Nose]

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that first half. It was miles better than the last couple of U23 games I've seen.

We look outstanding going forward, especially Eppiah.

 

[SilverFox]

We do look quality. It’s great to see the development squad mirroring the style of play of the first team. A few of these lads could get an opportunity.
