Positive vi...LETS JUST SCORE SOME GOALS PLEASE!!!

ON THE BALL CITY!!!

 

That's eleven, a whole team, out. Tells how bad it is, Springett was on the bench last match. So long since he last featured that I have absolutely no recollection about him or his ability. Other than I am surprised he is still with us. I guess Duffy will not feature so, hopefully flat back four.

Edit:- what has happened to Adeboyega? Have not seen him mentioned this season.

 

City's former goalkeeper target `jakub Stolarczyk is out due to a groin injury picked up playing against Middlesboro

 

Not sure, he's mentioned in the latest U21 win report with an assist for an own goal, beyond that...

 

Manning has said in his press conference that there is no issue with Duffy, it was heated exchange born out of frustration with how the half was going. He is considered available

 

I fear we are going to get to the break maybe 0-0 or 0-1 and then get tonked the second half

 

We have 1 point from our last 5 games and Leicester have 2 points from theirs, including a draw last time out, but 3 losses in a row before that.

 

Coincidence that we played Sheffield Wednesday at the same time last season.

 

WhoScored preview:

 

TBF - I think that's the strongest lineup that we could field

 

The stat about our worst run since 2007 is awful, worse than the Championship relegation season

 

I agree. Great to see Kvistgaarden starting with Sargent, Schwartau and Makama up front.

 

Suppose all the injured were available. How would the starting XI differ from today, and would it be that much stronger? (The bench could be a bit stronger, for sure.)

Currently injured:
(RB) Jack Stacey
(LB) Lucien Mahovo
(LW/CAM) Elliott Myles
(CAM) Gabe Forsyth
(LB) Ben Chrisene
(CM) Liam Gibbs
(CB) Jose Cordoba
(LB) Jeffrey Schlupp
(CM) Anis Ben Slimane
(LW) Papa Amadou Diallo
(RW/ST) Ante Crnac

 

Schlupp and Diallo for starters

 

Good afternoon, chaps - Are we up for this?
