    For what it's worth Leicester City won 53% of the games last season in which Jamie Vardy started, and just 35% when he didn't. #lcfc

    you get to name 7 subs, how knocky couldnt make it on that is beyond me. Yes i understand what shakey said about the steel, so leave him on the bench if we need that. But if we are dominating and smashing them down but need a goal... then bring him on. What i think people also dont realise is that he boy also gets stuck in and can tackle, he's not all lightweight and flair!

    Zak Whitbread is coming off on a stretcher, it sounds quite serious. Both Leicester physios and the Boro physio treating him. It sounds like a neck injury

    Liam Moore set to come

    He's certainly living up to his reputation as injury-prone, hope he's ok though. Can't understand why you'd ever leave probably your best player for 'tactical reasons' out of the squad. Can't understand Pearson's reasoning right now.

    Whitbread has come off with an oxygen mask in a neck brace. I think Nigel could be forced into the loan market if he wants to persist with this 5 across the back

    very very serious injury by the sounds that. I know with neck injuries they are usually overly cautious but to have gas, air and oxygen sounds veyr very serious

    We have no cover now, so yeah, you'd think so.

    I was always very pleased when Vardy scored. I must admit & I will support all the players who get picked, but I think I would of had Nugent on instead of vardy & maybe change the two after 65 - 70 mins. Still I hope NP & Vardy prove me wrong. I can see Nugent & Waggy taking some sort of part today though.

    If it gets to the end of the transfer window and Nigel hasn't bought 2 centre backs who aren't hung like Championship standard then he has to go in my eyes. Blindly obvious to all but himself.

    We really need to sort ourselves out

    Rarely heard Wood, Vardy, King, James, Drinkwater or Morgan's name mentioned

    That all depends on if it a viable option

    We would all like to see Michael Keane plus one other to come in but who knows what will happen. Other then Morgan our current centre halfs arent good enough

    its the funds.

    SSL - i said on a post a couple of days ago that he was my scapegoat. Very good player i think, but makes it easy for himself to be a scapegoat

    Maybe the club are looking at cashing in on Anthony Knockaert which would allow Nigel to strengthen

    I really hope you're not right. There's very little quality in this current line-up.

    He wants shooting if he thinks that's clever.

    Knocky's potential is massive. He could be worth absolutely millions in the future.
