Just as we start to get going!!!

If this was happening 3 weeks down the line Benko would be recalled.

Fuchs will play at left centre back if all of Wes, Evans and Maguire are out. Benny wasn't given a squad number this year.

 

Darnell Johnson probably on the bench.

 

Looks like Benkovic might be recalled sooner rather than later if this injury crisis continues!

Out of interest when are January recalls to be submitted to loanee's Club?

Mitrovic will be licking his lips!.. Farquaad / Fuchs pairing!!!!.....

14 seconds after Auld Lang Syne finishes.

Can't help thinking they are just going out their way to make the story as dramatic as they can before the 'revenge' match on Weds. Obviously Vardy is struggling, but beyond that surely just the normal knocks which easily get ironed out by the medical staff? I say fake news!

[Nick]

I’m hoping Soyunco gets a full 90 and has the game we know he can have but without the odd moment of recklessness he’s also capable of!

[Nick]

And if Vards is injured I’d like to see Nach in the 9 for a sustained period rather than Gray or Okazaki. Round holes and round pegs for once and see how it goes...

[Devonfox1884]

With all the rumoured injuries I’d go with:

 

Kasper

 

Pereira

Johnson

Soyuncu

Chilly

 

Albrighton

Mendy

Ndidi

Gray

 

Madders

 

Iheanacho

 

Subs: Ward, Knight, Fuchs, Iborra, Diabate, Okazaki, U23 striker that isn’t Loft.

 

Would much rather see one of the U23 boys get a game than Benny or Fuchs at CB.

[Gillies Apprentice]

Anyone who saw Johnson’s nightmare display at CB against Forest recently wouldn’t have him near the first team .In the last game he was pushed out to right back again with Knight and Pascanu in the middle - either of them would be far better 

[Lovejoy]

People still calling for Simpson? I’d have thought our two games in the last seven days would have done more than enough to put that one to bed. Firstly it’s not 2015/16, Simpson ain’t all that anymore. And secondly, Ricardo is an absolute baller.

[Richard]

Wilf was a centre back until he was about 17/18 I think (probably explains his range of passing )

 

Did either of them pick up a knock in the Watford match? I would imagine Wes in particular has played through niggles before

[Lovejoy]

Iborra at centre back, he’s done it before.

Wes could probably put in a half decent showing without knees and ankles. And in fairness probably is doing that week in week out.

He needs to put on his scoring boots first - plus, Soyüncü is a tidy player and Fuchs has done reasonably well at centre-back before.

 

Maybe we'll switch to some kind of three at the back for this one.

[leicesterlad1989]

Why are people suggesting that we drop Ricardo for Simpson?

 

Ricardo is finally showing his defensive qualities, as well as his attacking, yet people want to revert back to Simpson? Our fullbacks are crucial to how we play (even if it's not always obvious), so we really don't want an imbalance in the team by having a defensive minded Simpson and an attacking minded Chilwell.

 

As for the CB position - I would love someone from the u23's. Could be their chance to shine...albeit until Morgan is inevitably put back into the line up.

One point away from 6th not good enough for you?

That's what I meant,is he still registered...If so he steps in..

 

We have some great potential at CB in the U23.

 

If all 3 are out it wouldn't worry me at all to play 2 of Soyuncu, Hughes, Knight or Pascanu. In fact in some ways I hope that Morgan and Evans have to be phased out.

cant you get special dispensation to register players in situations like this?

Yes. So we can recall Benkovic.

Johnson and Soyuncu really? I'm glad your not the manager. That's plain suicide. A debut and about 100 minutes experience in the prem at centre back. 

 

Mind your foot with that loaded gun. 

[DerbyshireFox]

I’m sure one of Morgan or Evans will play, neither looked injured from the stands at the weekend, probably just knocks but what do I know. Soyuncu looks fairly capable from what we’ve seen so far. 

[HighPeakFox]

I'm enjoying people worrying about Caglar for something he might do wrong, but hasn't yet. 

[lcfc sheff]

Wes will be fine to play, hard as nails
