Wouldn't be surprised if a few key players (thinking Kasper in particular) asked it sit it out - he looked absolutely devastated yesterday Kasper is certainly not the sort of leader who would sit in the trenches whilst the troops went over the top. He'll lead from the front as always. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first instinct too. But that's a fan's view of it. Seeing that the tragedy unfolded just yards from the KP so soon after a game, with most (if not all) the players still inside, it might be better for the players to have their first match after this nightmare played away from the scene of it. But who knows really. I'm no psychologist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 30 October 2018 Share Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) It's a tough call, myself I would think they should play. But I think under circumstances Kasper needs to miss out, he witnessed the awful disaster and mentally affected him the most. I think he'd need more time. However if they do play the performance and result should not matter, they need all the support they can get come saturday.

StriderHiryu Posted 30 October 2018 Share Posted 30 October 2018 I imagine they consulted the players, who would have said they wanted to play. To be honest look at Mahrez last night... he was clearly affected by the situation as could easily be seen during the interview (it was probably the most sincere I have ever seen him actually), and he said "he would have wanted me to play." Anything could happen in the game to be honest depending on the players reaction. But you would imagine the characters we have such as Kasper and Vardy will be pumped. I would hope that see a display like the one against Liverpool after Ranieri was sacked. In that match especially during the first half the intensity the team played with was the same as when we won the league. For me the most interesting thing will be how our younger players deal with the situation. In that Liverpool game I mentioned, Ndidi was fantastic and essentially looked like Kante. I wonder how players like Chilwell and Maguire will react to the situation given both I beleive have met the owners several times personally. We have a young team and in years to come it will be some of these new players who are our main men and heroes. This is the sort of game and situation that give birth to new legends. I really wish I could go to this game, but know that I will be with all of you that can make it in spirit. Sing out your lungs for Vichai and the boys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElusiveEd Posted 30 October 2018 Share Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) I really hope Cardiff players/staff mute their celebrations should they score as surely they can take no pleasure in scoring against a "broken" team. I flew in from Boston Massachusetts this morning, drove up to the KP to pay my respects. I'm now back in my London hotel feeling very humble and subdued with an eerie sense of calm and reflection. I have to fly back in the morning but a huge part of me wants to, (and probably will) and feel I should, come back and drive to Cardiff on Saturday, even without a ticket for the game, just to be amongst those who are like-minded suffering souls like me. Is anyone else considering going to Cardiff without a ticket to pay respects? Edited 30 October 2018 by ElusiveEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Amartey we'll need a right back, Richardo is probably still not physical enough, and Simpson is probably not match fit. It'll be Soyuncu Morgan Maguire as a back three I think. Soyuncu is right footed but often plays on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't. It's not a proper game if the opposition feel bad about trying to win. When the players gave confirmation that they wanted to play they were saying that they weren't a broken team, and that they were ready for the challenge. I expect consideration from Cardiff before kick off, I don't expect it during the match. Edited 30 October 2018 by Harry - LCFC 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 30 October 2018 Share Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) My first ever away game and boy is it a significant one. It will be emotional and I cannot wait to give my utmost support with the rest of the travelling blue army for the owner and for the team. Up the foxes ?

HybridFox Posted 30 October 2018 Share Posted 30 October 2018 Taking away what's happened it's not an easy game tbh! We have previous and I do expect Cardiff to come out and play. It will be an emotional occassion but I hope we can play with the shackles off and give it our all for Vichai. Let the band of brothers return!

urban.spaceman Posted 31 October 2018 Share Posted 31 October 2018 I lived in Carmarthen for 3 years while I was at Uni. I used to get the train down to Cardiff and meet up with my dad who’d driven from Leicester. Sadly this was during the Craig Levein/Rob Kelly years so they were really, really poor performances. And Ninian Park was an orrible ground - dark, grey and miserable, just like the Welsh weather. Proper old fashioned terraces. Miserable games which were really just an excuse to see my old man. After I finished Uni I was glad to never go back. But now I really wish I could! I won’t be able to make it, but I hope you guys do Vichai proud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
