Newcastle Pre-Match

[Dan]

This has got 0-1 written all over it.

 

In all seriousness they are utter tripe, utter, utter tripe and we should pick up our biggest win of the season here for me. 3-0 win, regardless of what happens v Chelsea.

 

Yes I lied.

Will be having a punt on Newcastle at 3/1 to soften the blow if we do fcuk up somehow

 

That's some price really.

[Guest Col city fan]

Gotta win it. Simple as.

This cannot be the game where the Geordie's run of 7 straight defeats comes to an end.

[harpendenfox]

Disagree. We don't have to win it. I suggest if in the next three games we go draw, draw, win, in that order, we stay up.

[weller54]

If we draw and Southampton beat Sunderland that'll do me!!...

[Guest Col city fan]

It's about momentum. We need to beat the team with the worst form in the division. To keep up our confidence and to bring them further into it.

Crucial we win this game IMO.

[Callabinho]

Well here's an idea, stop being so negative. Negativity won't get us anywhere, the lads will be fine for Saturday they're professional football players and fatigue is part and parcel of the job. It's not going to help we all turn up on Saturday quivering at the prospect of playing Newcastle, we've got to go prepared to back the lads like we have been doing, do that and that will give them the adrenalin shot they need.

We know enough about this team to know that it doesn't lay down for people, thats what got us into this league in the first place, we dust ourselves down, forget Chelsea becasue it was Chelsea, and get ourselves ready for Saturday. So quit with the negativity and start thinking positively.

You can't jump out of a plane without a parachute, we're the parachute lads and we've got to keep going with the lads, together we will survive.

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Hopefully we'll be able to field;

 

Schmeichel

 

De Laet

Morgan

Huth

Schlupp

 

Cambiasso

King

 

Albrighton

Nugent

Vardy

 

Ulloa

 

But if the injury doubts don't make it I would go with

 

Schmeichel

De Laet

Morgan

Wasilewski

Konchesky

 

Cambiasso

James

 

Albrighton

Kramaric

Vardy

 

Ulloa

[Guest]

biggest game of the season yet.

 

We need a win nothing else is good enough.

[J.Lisemore]

I know he doesn't get much game time these days but, is Knockaert still in France with his old man?

 

Been a disastrous season for him personally.

[Guest Col city fan]

We'll beat Newcastle

They are awful.

We need Huth back though.

I agree Col

Must win game defo

Up the Foxes!!!!!

[filbertway]

I think if we get the first goal we will be safe. They have a lot of pacey players and love a good counter attack. Sissoko is massive for them, shame he's back. Their attitude seems to be awful though, if we can get at them and score first I think they'll collapse.

[cjslcfc]

If we can get at them the way we did to West Ham and Swansea from the start then I think they will crumble. That's the important bit for me. If we score the first goal I think we will win.

[indierich06]

3-0 win, and all the ostriches and balloonheads can **** off and die!

[Guest]

I think we win 3-0 or 3-1 but I expect the other teams around us to pick up a point this week so a win is a MUST!

[Ricey]

Assuming that Huth, King and Schlupp are out, but Nugent is back:

 

Kasper 

 

De Laet - Wasilewski - Morgan - Schlupp

 

Cambiasso - James

 

Mahrez               Nugent          Albrighton

 

Vardy

 

Then if things aren't going our way we can easily sub De Laet for a CB, push Schlupp forward and go to an attacking 3-4-3.

the first goal is critical

 

As is an oxygen tent for Cambiasso at HT

He was running on fumes in the 2nd half wasn't he!

 

I'm confident we can win this. Newcastle have been so poor recently and I really don't think, apart from the injuries, that Weds night will halt our momentum too much.

[Raw Dykes]

Are you assuming Schlupp is in or out?

Schlupp will shake it all about.

[Max Power]

Was Schlupp training earlier this week?

[Babylon]

Gutted about all the injuries cropping up now, could have a massive outcome on this match against them.

And someone was saying last week how we're the only team without injuries !!!

Add the injuries to the fact the referee is Mike Dean... I'm not looking forward to the game.

[foxes21]

With Huth out.. We are lacking options at the back. When Esteban was at Inter Milan he played a few games for them at center back in a 3-5-2. I think everyone can agree, when Huth went off we missed his experience and Morgan was pretty poor not playing alongside him. So I think Wes needs someone experienced next to him to help keep us organised. 

 

But yeah, what does everyone think about moving Esteban to the back three in replace of the injured huth?

 

So it would look something like this against Newcastle:

 

Wasyl Cambiasso Morgan

 

or

 

DeLaet Cambiasso Morgan
