LeicesterCity • The Manager – Sven Göran Eriksson on the Birmingham match "At half-time I felt that we would at least achieve a draw, so to come away with no points is a huge disappointment for us.” “In this division, a slight mistake can cost you and things went against us today. But we now have two big home games, against Watford and Millwall, and that gives us the chance to put things right. We will work hard again on the training ground and do all we can to win those games.” • The Foxes Kaspar Schmeichel Lee Peltier Paul Konchesky Souleymane Bamba Sean St. Ledger Andy King - caution 63 mÃn Michael Johnson Richard Wellens Gelson Fernandes for Yuki Abi - 66 mÃn.

And it was lacking today.” “The players have deserved better in a way [this season] because they are an honest group but they have to deliver more. We all take responsibility for that as a group.” • The Hornets Scott Loach Carl Dickinson Adrian Mariappa - caution 45+3 mÃn.

Joe Garner Substitutes Rene Gilmartin Dale Bennett Mark Yeates Prince Buaben Marvin Sordell Update on the Hornet's latest statistics Who will win? Current form What is there to say. The Watford team are terrible, one win in their last five matches and only nine league goals. For all their spending the Foxes haven’t done as well as people would have thought. The locals have not lost in seven games and conceded in four, excluding the match against Birmingham, so their form is much better than the Hornets. Akureyri's Prediction: 3:0 Watford have been playing like a lost team and Leicester’s multi-pound team will be too much for the Hornets. skál/skÃ¥l/cheers/salut Don't forget The Hornet’s Nest Drop in for some match chat.

Another great (and very honest) match thread Ak. I still have my yellow coloured specs on so i predict a Watford win..coz i allow my heart to rule my head lol. So, i'm going for 3-1 coz that's what i do, but in reality...i dread to think what this scoreline will be!
Once again this is a must win for us. Lose or draw and Sven is really, really under pressure. We have played poorly away despite the fact today was our first home loss. However in the last 3 home games we have been a different kettle of fish, have beaten highflying Southampton, Brighton and then Derby 4-0, and the last 2 in particular were very impressive displays. So I fully expect us to win this, Watford looked terrible against Forest and look worse than last season when we beat them at home.
After beating Southampton, Brighton and Derby it is suddenly a 'must win' after losing to a team in Europe and a team who are the current league cup holders. Come on, please lets just agree that its a blip but it will need sorting in time for Wednesday.
Who before the game were also 18th in the Championship and have a team of freebies, loanees and cheap signings.
Beausejour, King, Wood, Ridgewell, Caldwell..... Yep, a completely ****e team. Plus they have two games in hand, dickhead.
Sorry, I missed the part where I said they were 'completely ****e'. Could you highlight it for me, Forrest?
Did I, child? What I did was point out that the fact they are in Europe means nothing, as that was reward for winning the League Cup. The fact they won the League Cup means nothing, as most of the side that won it for them have left. Those that have stayed have guided them to the heady heights of 18th in the Championship, along with a group of free signings and loanees. I certainly didn't say they were **** players, as much of my own clubs players are cheap signings, freebies or loanees, and we're 6th in the table. Don't worry, Forrest, you'll learn to read eventually.
I have had better conversations with my 4 year old nephew. I know you may only be a bit older, but please, you know what you meant. I know Hull have had a fairly boring but decent start, but we can't be bothered to listen to your ****e.
1) What in the name of **** are you going on about? 2) Do you just talk **** constantly? I may as well say that "if Bristol City win their next 6 games and Southampton lose their next 6"... Just accept, like the rest of your fans, that today was a wake-up call for Leicester City. They lost against a side 18th in the table who have been performing poorly in the league this season. Don't try and kid yourself into thinking it wasn't that bad as your opponents are in Europe, especially as I have now shown why that is irrelevant.
Cannot see anything other than a Leicester win. The only straw to clutch is that we tend to pull the odd result out of the bag once we have been completely written off.
OK Forrest. If you say so. PS. Just to spare you even further embarrassment, the person in my avatar isn't me. Sorry to disappoint you, dear. Oh yes, 6th in the league at the minute. To quote that most eminent of philosophers Derek Trotter - "lovely jubbly"! Excellent defensively and playing some good football, but struggling for goals up front. Ah well, we can but hope. I have to be honest though; I wish we'd had a start as exciting as Leicester's, which has clearly been so enthralling as to take them top... of the bottom half of the table...
Yes, of course, we lost against a side unbeaten at home with a dodgy referee so we should immediately just stop thinking we will get promoted. What was that about talking ****?
We have just come off the bounce of a 4-0 win against Derby, 3-2 against Southampton and 1-0 against Brighton at home and you have the cheek to say we have been boring?! You do make me smile kiddo.
