    Including the Cardiff game on Saturday, how many points do Foxes fans honestly think we will get over the Xmas period (max 12).
    I think;

    Foxes Vs Cardiff 1-0 3 Pts :emoticon-0172-mooni
    Hull Vs Foxes 1-1 1 Pt :emoticon-0121-angry
    Burnley Vs Foxes 2-0 0 Pt <wah>
    Foxes Vs Hudd 3-1 3 Pts <party>

    Total 7 Pts out of a possible 12.


    Now what do you think? :confused:

    Cardiff is at home so we need to win
    Hull is a very winnable game. They have lost both David Meyler and David Stockdale this week for the game, Aluko is injured aswell so probably a good time to play them
    Burnley away will be a difficult one. Maybe a bit of a 1 man team with Charlie Austin but we should be getting at least a draw
    Huddersfield are at home so we should be beating them

    I would want at least 10 points from them games

    Though we have lost Stockdale and Meyler, we are expecting Aluko to be back for the game against you.

    I would fancy our chances against you with or without Aluko.

    New/Old faces coming in who had been shunned by loaners before, theres no way you can lose <ok>

    Back on topic, think we really are capable of pushing back towards the automatics

    Foxes Vs Cardiff W
    Hull Vs Foxes D
    Burnley Vs Foxes W
    Foxes Vs Hudd W

    Total 10 Pts out of a possible 12, about 3 points shy of Cardiff and 1 point below Palace.

    CAR 1-1 D
    HUL 1-0 W or 1-1 D
    BUR 2-0 W
    HUD 2-1 W

    So that´s 10 or 8 pts which I´d be happy with.

    How good is Cairney? All i know is he has been promising for a while now.

    Very one-footed, but has a cracking left foot. Can strike a ball wonderfully well, and has a very high pass completion rate, although he's often been criticised of not making very adventurous passes and only going sideways or backwards. Just come back from an injury he got at the start of the season away at Donny in the cup. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, is a lot more athletic and comes across as more willing to work for the team now. I quite like him, got a great free-kick on him as well.

    If he wasnt injured would he be starting? Also, is he the sort of player that is too weak/non-defensive to play in a 4-4-2. Whenever i have seen him he has always looked neat but obviously the football league show only shows the highlights where something is happening!!

    Cairney would certainly have been in contention throughout the season but by no means a certain inclusion. He looked a world beater when he first played in the EPL but looked slow and one dimensional when he played in the Championship. He was showing some signs of improvement again early in the season before being scythed down at Donny.
    He certainly looks much leaner and fitter now and maybe he'll be able to fulfil some of his early promise.

    Hull are pretty class in general on there, I think they've made it a bit too easy this year.

    They got relegated on mine. Bounced back first time

    The hardest thing with us is getting rid of high earners to allow you to bring in better players

    Promoted first season and batting for a top 4 finish in my 3rd season. Didn't have that problem at City, you can sell McShane for about £2 million!

    It's the wages at Leicester
    Beckford Nugent Konchesky 30K, Danns Schmeichel 25K, King Wellens Gallagher St. Ledger 20K

    No one can afford to sign them unless you agree to cover the majority of the wages

    I sold Macca to Bristol City and Prozzy to Bolton and just let Oli's contract run out. They were all our big wages gone.

    Cairney's a stunningly good footballer, he's had some issues with his attitude, but he seems to have got over them now and having lost a couple of stone, he looks a completely different player.

    He's very one footed, but he hangs onto the ball better than almost anyone I've ever seen and if he gets off a left footed shot, then he'll probably score.

    In short, he's a great footballer, who had too high an opinion of himself, but seems to have got his act together recently and he's great to watch(as you'll see at our place, as I expect him to replace Meyler).

    Cairney will pull out of a 50/50 every single time, thats his biggest weakness for me.
