Hard to see anything other than a resounding Stoke win today. Hope you are right. I foresee a thrashing, as we only have two defenders available!

Never say never, but we're pretty damn close to never today.

A proper pasting today… mauled by the the tigers the other week and fucked by the foxes this week - 4-1.
Be interesting to see if the Stoke fans turn on the manager or just a mass shrug of the shoulders and exit on 70 mins for an early get away home and cry

It could alternatively be 3500 Stokies taking the piss out of the empty home stands! I'm stupidly optimistic, always a bad sign, but it's typical of Stoke to win today! Sidibe doing the press, interesting maybe he'll start! Travers Junior McNally Burger Thompson Pearson Sidibe Junho Leris Lowe Haks 1-4 Burger og; Burger, McNally, Lowe, Haks

He will probably get a free hit today if we get mauled but should he really ?
The defensive problem when all said and done are largely of his own making.

If the roof is to cave in on the management team it will likely come after a home defeat against unfancied opposition.

I’d be tempted play four at the back and six across midfield & hit them on the break!

There's an interesting bet for today - #OddsOnThat - Leicester 2+ Goals in Each Half; Leicester 3+ Corners in Each Half & Stoke 2+ Cards in Each Half @500/1
ok, so it's not that likely to happen, but given their form, our form, and our ability to collect bookings there's no way its a 500-1 shot IMO.

Early goal for them and it could get messy.
Hopefully we can keep it tight for as long as possible, either way we'll lose.
If they score in the first 15-20, it'll be 5-0. If they don't, we'll complete well but ultimately lose 1-0 or 2-0.

If 5 defenders are out and arguably your first choice forward line, hard to see it is the manager’s fault. One extra defender wouldn’t make much difference with potentially 11 first teamers out

They're on fire and a point today would be a fantastic result. But I can't see it happening and a 1-0/2-0 defeat would suffice. I'd play 9 across the back and a Lone Ranger up front just to keep a couple of their defenders occupied. OS.

We've already lost to many matches & another defeat here could leave us in the bottom 3 heading into the international break which will simply not be good enough as it means we've already lost ground on the chasing pack & will have lost matches to fancied teams aswell as those simply doing OK. Looking behind us come end of October with matches forthcoming versus an on fire Sunderland, mixed bag Leeds, resurgent Middlesbrough & a lofty Cardiff will not be an easy task. Today would be a perfect time to produce a Sunderland (a) & Coventry (a)'esque from last season type of performance, & would install some much needed belief & confidence into the players aswell as the fans before the break is upon us!

We don’t have a first choice team available to compete like you suggest so let’s get real. No expectation from me at all but would take my hat off to them for a point.

Football has an infinite capacity to surprise although I fear today won’t be one of those days. PS I’ve predicted a 2-1 in the Tipster competition! (Could never ever bet against Stoke)

2-0 is probably about par. I'd be a bit disappointed if we let it get any messier than that.
Based on their other home games, they'll have 2/3 possession, and have lots of shots - although PNE seem to have made it difficult for them - and Cov and Cardiff seem to have been a bit unlucky in their first couple of home games
65% Leicester 2-1 Cov XG: 1.51-1.86 Shots: 20-20
65% Leicester 2-1 Cardiff XG: 0.66-1.08 Shots 15-10
64% Leicester 0-1 Hull XG: 1.20-0.31 Shots 21-7
69% Leicester 1-0 Bristol City XG: 2.31- 0.29 Shots 19-6
76% Leicester 3-0 Preston XG: 1.48-0.43 Shots 9-6

Is Badley-Morgan injured? Yeah, I think he confirmed that both u21 centre-backs were injured, certaibly for the midweek game - when he was trying to explain why they had 2 keepers on the bench, and the only defender they could consider for the bench was 16yo, Jaden Dixon, who they decided against putting on there as there was no chance of him coming on. So he went with Fielding on the bench as a effectively a cheerleader because he was a big character in the squad.
