    Danns and Drinkwater could well be smoke and mirrors But Wellens has been out a while. Still No sign of Waghorn either. He would have been better off breaking his leg for the England U21.

    Actually i hope both Danns and Drinkwater start and then break down. Lesta dont have much left on the bench either. Keep Nugent and Beckford quiet and it should be game over. NB young guns to get back to winning ways.

    How nice it would be if this long overdue hammering we have promised for so long occured at the King Prawn Stadium. Would love it, just love it.

    Think Koren will be a big miss in a game like this

    Agreed,, but if Festa are missing the players rumoured to be out then its a more than fair trade imo.

    Wellens hasnt missed a game in a long time. I reckon at least 1 or 2 will make the game and if they dont big Sol Bamba will go into the midfield along with Ben Marshall. As for keeping Nugent and Beckford quiet, easier said then done and if you do then Jeff Schlupp will come on and he is a handful. Or we can go route 1 with Kasper's long kicks onto Steve Howard

    We will see how good your defence is tommorow. No doubting its good as proven by how many goals you have conceded but Nugent and Beckford are in some form at the minute. And at home we are pretty solid at the back. Its just on the road we struggle defensively.

    My apologies. Its Paul Gallagher i should have said,, but i also see that Andy King is also missing. My god the Foxes will have problems if those 3 are also missing.

    You shall need more weapons than that. Apart from 2 very sloppy goals on tuesday we kept the free scoring Southampton at bay. 8 clean sheets in the last 11 games and thats more of a worry for you than us may i suggest.!!!

    Not really

    Gallagher is only good at dead balls and shooting from distances. Ben Marshall is all round better player
    Richie Wellens has been a shadow of what he was last season and Andy King has been crap for a long time. Last season he scored 16 goals and this season he has got 4. That shows the difference

    Oh dont kid yourself. I will be pleased if all of them are OUT and your midfield has Sol Bamba in it.

    It depends doesn't it.

    Before he got injured Leicester's match preparation was simple. 2 centre halves deal with the striker. Defensive midfielder sit on Koren, and there'll be two nippy wingers to deal with.

    Defensive midfielders aren't often known for their pace, so with Koren out do they prepare for us to play Cairney/Evans/Fryatt in the hole and have the same player sitting on them, or do they alter their plans expecting us to put Brady or King through the middle of the midfield? If they get it wrong we could be getting a lot more free kicks around the area than normal. Although by a lot more, I think 1 in the game would probably double our tally for 2012.

    King has missed all of 2012 and is still a few weeks off playing

    Gallagher is a few weeks off playing and Wellens will be more then likely fit. I would rather Danns and Drinkwater was fit before Wellens, trust me neither of us want Sol Bamba in the midfield. He is that type of player, something would happen, he would either but unbelievable brilliant or garbage

    Robert Koren always scores against us so im glad hes not playing. He scored 3 for West Brom against us and 2 for you. As for who is playing centre half tommorow i think Matt Mills will come into the team but he hasnt played since January.

    He was and he was about to be sent out on loan to Leeds. Mills apologised and said he didnt want to go to Leeds and Nigel said he could stay.

    Since the bust up Mills has been named on the bench once which was last week when we beat Birmingham
