Our record defeat is 10.0
To be fair I fancy Stoke to score
Two defenders!
Good luck Stoke

Can’t see anything but a spanking
So therefore Alex … just go for broke
Don’t play 5 at the back. Not sure you can anyway

Travers Jnr, McNally, Laurent, Thompson Pearson, Sidibe Lleris Johnson Haks Lowe
Need to sit in deep and only press them in our half to nullify Vardy or Iheanachos pace. Whilst encouraging Leicester to go through the middle but making sure to block Dewsbury Hall (Pearson and Sidibe) out of the game.
If we push them wide too much then we will get rinsed as their wide forwards and full backs are outstanding at this level. If it goes wide we then should let the crosses come in rather than go to the wide player.
Similar to how Pulis did with the wide players acting as full backs.
Bench: Fielding, Burger, Junho, Jojic, Wesley, Gayle, youth defender
Assumed injured: Gooch, Rose, Wilmot, Hoever, Stevens Vidigal, Campbell, Mmaee,

Thought we would see better from Burger, don't really see a class act in him certainly not worth the money Far to early to write him off but I really don't know what he is. I thought we'd signed a defensive midfield player but he's got no defensive awareness about him but gets in good attacking positions and has a decent shot on him. Needs to play further forward until he gets up to speed with championship football. Seems a bit lightweight to me. He has chickened out of a couple of challenges and goes down too easily. That stuff with the ref last night was embarrassing..

Should never be in this position, awful end to the window lead us down this path.

Toughest game of the season tomorrow (on paper) and with our injuries, terrible form and questionable management is this pretty much a damage limitation match? I know that sounds very negative but does anyone have any hope? 😂

Could we win and prove all the doubters wrong……Tin hat

50 years ago we took on Leeds at Elland Road. They were running away with the league and had dropped only one point all season. We had been performing badly. And yet we came back with creditable point.

Unlikely to get anything, Leicester probably one of the most overpowered teams in the league since we got relegated. But no team in this division is prime barca. If someone like Rotherham won at Leicester you wouldn't fall off your chair would you.

Nope. I’ll be surprised if it’s under 5.

You never know, we might get a penalty🤔but then it would still be 4 or 5-1

Watching highlights of their games, it seems inevitable they will score, what with our defence, our only hope is if by some miracle we find our shooting boots.

If we'd got a fully fit and raring squad I'd be quite looking forward to it

And yet we came back with creditable point. 50 yrs ago players were proper men and played for the shirt and the fans. Today we have a bunch of pussies who are more interested in their paypacket & Social media likes.

How on earth do we sign 17/18 players before the season and end up with Jordan Thompson at left back after 10 games and away to the league leaders. The mind boggles!

Our 1st choice defence is bad enough, but with a makeshift one, I realy am expecting the worse.
