West Bromwich Albion (Away)

[Profondo Rosso]

I know some people aren't happy with performances in the last 3 games, but I feel we matched each side personally and have just had a bit of bad luck, which must change soon. Not the easiest game, mind, but I still feel even if we lose this it's in our own hands.

P.S. Their left-back is a ****.

I think, as has been mentioned elsewhere, our lack of depth is now showing and players are tiring. Coventry, Derby, Reading and last night have all had goals that have come from a lack of concentration (going form the reports of last night anyway), including a bad run of form for Weale. Hopefully we can get to QPR and still be in the playoffs afterwards, then we have 7/8 days between each match to get back to fitness.

I dont expect anything from this game at all

hopefully im wrong

Last time we turned up with a bad team and won 4-1. Howard grabbed a hat-trick that day, I say we start him on Friday and give Waggypants a break..

Weale

Morrison
Brown
Hobbs
Powell

King
Spearing
Wellens
Oakley

Howard
N'Guessan

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

its got all the hallmarks of yet another defeat.....

 

[escos66]

I will expect at least a point out of this game as I do with every game leicester play!

Weale

Morrison
Brown
Hobbs
Berner

Gallagher
Spearing
King
Wellens
Dyer


Vaughan


Come on leicester why sholdn't you win this it's only eleven vs eleven now pull your fingers out stop bottling it and do us proud!!

 

[Graz]

Agree Waggy needs a break.

Is Berner likely to be back for this one? Our dip in form has come since he went out of the team...

I'd maybe switch back to 4-4-2 for this one.

Weale

Morrison
Hobbs
Brown
Berner

N'Guessan
King
Wellens
Dyer

Vaughan
Howard

Give Gally and Waggy a break. Play 2 wingers to get the ball to Howard

I'm expecting a loss though... think it said on BBC we havn't won away against a fellow top 6 side all season

i cant remember us even taking a point

 

[Graz]

You're right

"The Foxes are now on a run of three successive defeats, though, and have failed to pick up an away point this season against a fellow top-six side."

 

[dpjfox]

i never expect anything other than win, however this time i am expecting a defeat ( i did the time we did them 1-4, i also remember NP taking a crap Southampton team there a couple of years ago and getting a point.
i am therefore predicting 1-1 draw Gally pen Id go for a more tried and tested back 4, maybe Berner wont be back but the RB position is vital against Blunt, id move Morrison there and bring back Brown, i would also rest Waggy for Howard or Vaughan

So you never expect anything less than a win, but you expect a defeat, but you're predicting a draw?

Good to cover all your bases I suppose...

 

[olip6]

i expect us to win.
end of.

Davids on the bench. 4-1, thank you and good night.

 

[DesertFox]

Thinking about it logically, last time we won 4-1. They were top and we were getting relegated. This time they're second and we're sixth. So we should beat them about 8-0, I'd have thought.

 

[Blaby Fox]

I have a sneaky feeling that we will get something from this game, as it would be typical City to go and get a win at somewhere where we're not expected to, like last time we played West Brom under Holloway !!!

I would put Berner back in ( if he's fit ), and put Vaughan upfront with Waggy with Gally and either Dyer or N'Guessan out wide. I certainly don't think Waggy needs a rest as he's only 19 years old and was regularly on the bench at the start of the season !!!

If we do lose this game, I still think that 9 points from our last 5 games will see us in the play offs, which I definetely think is achieveable with our remaining fixtures that are left.

My team to face WBA would be:-

Weale
Solano
Morrison
Hobbs
Berner ( if fit )
Gally
Spearing
Wellens
Dyer
Vaughan
Waghorn

Up the City !!!

 

[Durham Fox]

If Pearsons learnt anything it surely must be that we need 2 genuine striker on the pitch.

At last, some straight forward logic on here :icon_wink

I said that last night....:icon_cry:

- Give Howard a go again....two foreigners at the back for them...let's not be polite. Waghorn needs a strike partner, he can not do two players work.

 

[East Anglia Fox]

Yeah I think we should just go back to 4-4-2. Whatever anyone says, Reading (the last game I saw) was a 4-5-1. Far too often a long ball was given to Waghorn and he was efficiently hacked down by three of their defenders. It was totally useless.
