Not open for further replies.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh
Assistants: Daniel Cook, Sian Massey-Ellis
Fourth official: Roger East
 
Assuming no change of formation, I’d go with the following:

Schmeichel

Ricardo
Maguire
Morgan
Chilwell

Choudhury
Ndidi

Albrighton
Maddison
Barnes

Vardy
 
If Kasper's distribution continues to be a liability then serious consideration to dropping him would have to be taken until he sorts it out, I don't think the rest of his game is that far ahead of Ward that is unreasonable to put pressure on Kasper to sort this out
 
He'll play a weakened team. To save them for the Liverpool, Manure & Spurs games. Scary thing is I'm not even sure if I'm kidding or not.

**** it.

I'm thinking more about the upcoming horse racing now than I am about football. As soon as we get to 40 points that's me done for the season. Don't give a toss. Give me a nice Summer & a new season & I'll be interested again. This ****ing wasted campaign can **** right off. I WILL be getting a NOW TV pass this weekend but only because I've got money on the NFL, I'll be watching ITV racing when this game is on. Disinterested. Depressed.

He's had 5 years & it's still shite. I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating: What the actual **** does Mike Stowell do at the club? If it actually IS Goalkeeping Coach he wants sacking. He seems to be immune to every change of regime & just carries on as if untouchable. Who does he have photos of & doing what would be my question.

I can take shite but the penalty on Saturday lead directly from about the 5th dangerous kick from Kasper in a row, booting it into touch is shite but at least its safe.

I've made my position on Stowell clear, I'd have sacked him years ago but he and Kasper are very tight so unless a manager has a specific Keeper's coach they work with they don't tend to rock the boat there as keepers train away from the squad

The weirdness of football as a profession. Be rubbish at your job for weeks if not months, be lazy & unmotivated to such a degree everyone can see it...& your boss gets the sack. Pogba the most obvious recent example but there have been shitloads down the years. Then there's this situation. In a real job Kasper would be an employee & Stowell would be his line manager. He's been rubbish at a vital part of his job for years & his immediate superior has been unable to resolve it. They both get renewed contracts & pay rises. Because they're good mates.

People complain often that footballers are divorced from reality. Can't imagine why!
 
He was extraordinarily good in the Premier League winning season. I mean quite outstanding in many games

But now he's been shite for years and years and years, led by the bumbling idiot Mike Stowell ?

FFS
 
I thought Shite for years was about Stowell to be fair, Kasper's kicking is now far worse than it was when he joined
 
I thought Kasper's distribution was excellent when he joined, but I think a lot was down to Lloyd Dyer and Schlupp who both used to make an effort to give him an early option and launch an attack. He has very few options now.
 
Commentators on MOTD repeatedly comment on his shit kicks.
 
Wolves home record is as bad as ours so should be a very open game.
 
Head-to-head

  • This will be the third meeting between the clubs this season: Leicester won August's reverse league fixture 2-0 and beat Wolves 3-1 on penalties at Molineux in the Carabao Cup in September.
  • Wolves are winless in three games against the Foxes since a 2-1 home Championship victory in September 2012.
  • Wolves recovered from trailing 3-0 at half-time to win 4-3 in their only previous Premier League home match against Leicester, in October 2003.
  • Leicester have won one and lost five of their last eight top-flight away fixtures against Wolves.
Wolverhampton Wanderers

  • Wolves have lost five of their past seven home league games. They had previously been beaten only twice in their first 27 league fixtures at Molineux under Nuno Espirito Santo.
  • Santo's side have kept only one clean sheet in their past 14 Premier League games.
  • They have scored five first-half goals, the fewest in the division.
  • Ten off the last 16 Premier League goals conceded by Wolves have been via set pieces: four corners, four free-kicks and two penalties.
  • Wolves have used a league-low 18 players.
Leicester City

  • Leicester have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions.
  • However, they have recorded back-to-back 1-0 away wins and could win three successive away league games for the first time since April 2016.
  • Claude Puel's side have scored in 18 of their league games, the most outside of the current top six clubs.
  • They have conceded the opening goal on 14 occasions, which is second only to Cardiff's tally of 15.
  • Leicester's last six away games have produced just eight goals in total, with no side scoring more than once.
  • Games involving Leicester have produced a league-high nine red cards, four to the Foxes and five to opposition players.
 
I can’t see us getting anything from this. They played really well at our place and were very unlucky to lose. 2-0.

You don’t get us do you? We’ll win this, Vardy will score a brilliant goal, Puel will have learned his lessons and someone will declare that the post match thread should be a short one.

I think he says that every week, much like someone, I cannot remember who, usually posts a result from years gone by as a prediction
