    Kasper Schmeichel and Matt Upson are out injured. Jeff Schlupp, Dean Hammond and Esteban Cambiasso are doubts. Matty James is suspended, Danny Drinkwater is fit again and Andrej Kramaric is available. So here is what I would play

    Hamer

    Simpson
    Wasilewski
    Morgan
    Konchesky

    Albrighton
    Drinkwater
    King
    Knockaert

    Ulloa
    Kramaric

    Subs- Schwarzer, Moore, Lawrence, Cambiasso, Hammond, Vardy, Nugent

    I'd have to agree with you there, though I don't think Kramaric will start, so Nugent to take his place. Our midfield situation is worrying me slightly, as we've got a lot of only semi-fit players, but let's just hope for the best!

    I´d say yes to PF´s starting XI. Give Kramaric 60 mins (depending on how he´s doing/feeling) & then bring him off for JV (fresh pace late(ish) on), I´d like to see Cambiasso (an old head) come on for Knockeart & then after about 80 mins Nuggent for Ulloa. WOW maybe I´m should be more than just an average dream team manager ? :D

    No Ulloa or Kramaric (bench) & Schlupp is back in the starting XI, interesting.

    As a Croatian we're very very very excited about him playing for Leicester.

    He´s one of your up & coming players. I just hope we can make him one of your best.
    Does that mean we (LCFC) have lots of Croat fans now ? :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Foxes you guys have a very good side, and the environment is excellent. I've got my fingers crossed that he does as well here as he has for club and country. I just hope he comes in at half time because I have to leave for dog training.

    0-0 1st half. Time to get all of that 17m worth of STR off the bench soon NP.
    Good half for us, kept them to scraps up front & we´re knocking on their door.

    Another DEF mistake. How much time & space ? Come on Kramaric.

    Well that was dreadful. Not a lot more to say. Poor all over the pitch.

    Maybe clutching a straws, but surely holding like that warrents a free kick/penalty kick ?

    Well played & we deserved a point, but football doesn´t work that way.

    Wrong team selection for me. If it ain't broke... Schlupp didn't look match-fit and I don't quite know what Ulloa and Albrighton did to warrant being dropped. Can't really blame him playing King and Drinkwater as they were the only midfielders fit, but neither has proved himself in the division yet. Kramaric looked decent enough when he came on, but the service to him was woeful- he was the only one to put a half-decent cross in all game. Sorry I know this all sounds very negative but it was just a very frustrating match!

    Well played? Deserved a point? Hmmm I must have been watching a different game.

    All huff and puff again. Terrible ball retention. Made Stoke look like Real Madrid at times how they kept the ball and knocked it around. ( though no end product most of the time)
    I do feel sorry for Albrighton he hasn't got a chance if he can't get a run of games

    We were better 1st half imo & they were better 2nd. I haven´t seen the stats but in terms of shots on & off I´d say it was close. I think a point would of been not to much to ask, but it´s all about opinions this football game ain´t it.

    Midfield struggled to get into the game and offered no service to the strikers who when Vardy and Nugent did get involved they didn't have the quality

    Schlupp and Knockaert both had the beating of their full back more often then not so disappointing we couldn't get more of a grip on the game

    Kramaric showed some decent touches but didn't make enough runs behind to support the wide players IMO but he has only just come to the English game so it will take time to adjust


    Didn't understand why Tom Lawrence came on ahead of Marc Albrighton. Lawrence will be best off spending the rest of the season in the championship once we sign someone or when Mahrez returns
