Match Day Thread Los Zorros contra Los Santos 20th Agosto ko 15.00

I'd definitely consider JWP on the right in a back four. Leicester gets much of their width from their fullbacks (their heatmap from the Brentford game is literally just a red line straight across the pitch), so he probably wouldn't have to do much defending on an island, and some crosses from deep wouldn't go amiss if we're planning to go with pace up top.

 

We could use Valery, swapping from right back to left back, switching whenever Ralph shouts "Why don't you come on over, Valery?"

 

Got that bloody song on my head now

 

Zutons or Amy Winehouse?

I prefer the original, although both are good.

 

Chris Sutton predicts 2 - 1 to the Foxes, his oppo says 1 - 1.

Lawro predicts 2 - 0 Leicester.

 

Because he's Ralph and we know this much, we're confused before the game, during the game and afterwards too. I think he's pulled a blinder here, two games, two indifferent performances, bar 25 minutes, just think, Rodgers won't have a clue how to set up against us etc because everyone is confused!!
We'll get a point even so!

 

No Fofana tomorrow. Has requested not play due to wanting to move to Chelsea.

 

Wrong thread!

 

Fantastic news for us

 

It really is a bugger that Perraud is injured for this one. Think it’s a great chance for three points if we went at them a bit, but I fear Ralph’s hand will be forced into 5 at the back again.

 

could we be playing with a 4 tomorrow? Ralph suggesting he could play him at FB.

 

Wonder if we will see Bednerak in the 20 this weekend..

 

Hopefully!

 

It at least shows that’s still the prime aim. At the moment it’s a question of available personnel and I think by the time the window closes the match day squad will look very different.

 

Can't fault SR, Bar JWP and KWP, our 11 will be a completely new team.

 

I wasn't planning on going to this but due to being in Chesterfield for work (which is an hour's drive away from Leicester) it seems silly not to go.

 

I think we’ll look a lot better and more settled once the window is closed and the squad can have a bit of closure and finality. There’s too many players who don’t know if they’ll be here in a week or so and it’s got to be a fairly tense environment. It’s a coincidence that we’re playing Leicester this week because they have exactly the same problem. Difference is, other teams actually WANT their players!

 

Whoo Hoo! Matchday! Things can only get better (or not, as the case may be)

 

Match Day.

Expecting more from this season than this game, but think we can win this. Start the new chaps please, and go for them.

 

The Midlands Massive is getting ready for our first game of the season…woohoo!
New third strip shirt ready
