Tuna Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Must win, simple as that. Approach it like we did Huddersfield away and we'll be beaten.
Kendal Fox Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Lose this and it'll be difficult to imagine Shakey lasting the season. Win and it'll be the first time we've beaten these so could herald a significant upturn in our fortunes. I know it might sound fickle of me... But it's strange how these things can hinge on the finest of margins.
Webbo Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 We'll have a better idea how we stand after this match. We never get anything against these but they've started really poorly. A win here could start a bit of momentum.
Monsell1976 Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Bottom of the table clash, cannot afford to play it safe and go for a safe point, we need to get our season started. They are at rock bottom confidence wise, turn up and go at them. If we go and set up not to lose, and not go out to continue their poor start, Shakespeare can **** off. Perfect game for Iborra and nacho to start, but my biggest criticism is he refuses to change either the team or tactics
StriderHiryu Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Huge game and I’d agree that a loss will put huge pressure on CS. They have a good record against us recently too. But we have shown plenty of glimpses. Not sure what the result will be but we are capable of the win.
Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 If we lose I recon the Chairman will make a move on Shakespeare - maybe try to bring in someone above him
STUHILL Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Same back 4 as I thought they were fantastic, especially considering our midfield were often easily bypassed. Hoping N'didi was just a little fatigued as I don't want to see King start again. Iborra for King. Gray has to start, Mahrez was totally ineffective again and left Simpson exposed many times. Still want to see what Iheanacho can offer as a no.10, but Okazaki did have a good game and so probably deserves another start. Don't want to see that same schoolboy error from Shakey by loading us with Strikers, Keep the shape and balance next time! Think we will win this one.
Beechey Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 We have the quality to win for sure. The question is whether we maintain a 442 when we have a flimsy midfield (at best).
FoxinNotts Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Full strength (?): Schmeichel. Simpson Morgan Maguire Fuchs Ndidi Iborra Mahrez Okazaki Gray Vardy

Let' hope Shakespeare goes for it .... but probably be same old, same old.
Tielemans63 Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 For the love of God please start with Gray. I'm a huge fan of Mahrez but there comes a point when you have to stop hoping for some magic and accept that he hasn't produced any for a good while now. Demi deserves a start, no question.

From memory, I think they finished around 9th. Assuming we lose, there'd still be time to bring someone new in if they make a move soon.

Webbo Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 I think you've got to keep Mahrez in for now, we all know what he can do when he's on his game. If there was ever a game to start Gray in front of Albrighton it's this one, we can afford to be a bit less defensive against these.
lcfcsnow Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 100% chance we play 442, Okazaki is spent after 45, Iheanacho has little effect second half, the midfield is outnumbered and outpassed, Albrighton crosses from half way to the keeper at least 5 times. 99% chance Craig says ultimately at least 10 times in the post match interview. 95% chance Fuchs comes back, Maguire gets caught in posession at least 3 times. 75% chance Gray starts in place of Mahrez. 15% chance Gray starts in place of Albrighton.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Bournemouth are a class side who play good passing attractive football, exactly the opposite of the type of team we need to play right now. It's difficult to see beyond a Bournemouth win here. Even that guy from Liverpool they bought is looking good for them, Ibe.
Great Boos Up Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 352. Defence can't get carried away and cross the half line and lose possession. We wont get overrun in midfield and supply is better for our front two. 3 points.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Due to our lack of midfield we should try 5-0-5. We play like that anyway but with 5 up the field we've more chance of finding a blue shirt
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 23 September 2017 Posted 23 September 2017 Six pointer. Must win. Probably tactical mistakes cost us again though...
