    Typically Leicester bounce back to form just before they play us and Beckford scores a hat trick. Will Nigel change the team for Monday and use any special tactics to keep Beckford quiet?

    Hard to judge them against Forest. Will be good for their confidence, but I still reckon we'll be too strong for them in the league.

    We are top of the table and playing at home - let The Foxes worry about how to stop us!

    Beckford isn't a great footballer (never has been, all pace and nothing else) - so I'm not concerned about him at all. After last nights result, the only ones need worry is Forest about staying up.

    I would imagine Hooiveld and Martin will have something to do with stopping him. Leicester will need to be more concerned with how they stop us. It's more a case of how fast the Lads come out of the blocks. If we quickly get into high gear, Leicester will be chasing the spaces where we've just been.

    I think Jos will have him in his pocket to be honest.

    If you get physical with him early doors and give him a kick to let him no your there he tends to drift out of games, he goes into sulk mode and doesn't seem to concentrate on the match.

    I thought I'd missed something then. Leicester back in form? Oh, a 4-0 home win against a totally dispirited Forest team. Strange that if anyone suggested we'd recovered form after back to back away wins against Coventry and Forest their views were slapped down. I'm sure Nigel's game planning wasn't disturbed by this cup result.

    Back in form, not so quick!
    But, this will make Nigels job preparing for the game against us easier, no doubt.

    The last time Beckford came to St Mary's, Jose Fonte had him in his pocket all day long. I can't see him causing us too many problems. He's quick, fairly skillful and a decent fiinisher, but his lack of footballing intelligence makes him quite eas8y to defend against.

    Leave a pile of cash super glued to the turf right near where he stands. Or shine a hologram of cash near him. We'll be fine <ok>

    We'll deal with him fine. Why change our whole approach for one player who scored a hat-trick against an absolutely appalling Forest side?

    Like I've said somewhere else, if we score one, they'll fall apart.

    There were posters saying after Forest that Rickie would have scored a hat-full let alone three, so why worry about him. We are a far better side and Leicester are not really pulling up trees away from home.

    He is terrible. If he's fit, throw Fonte straight in and he'll just pick him up and put him in his pocket again.
