Leicester vs Birmingham - Match Thread (Pre-Season)

[les-tah]

Tielemens looks like he easily puts on weight and struggles based on his short time here.. Right now he looks very trim and ready to go though so really happy for him!!

Needs to stopping going through the drive thru on his way home from training then!

I love Soyuncu. Absolute bastard

Gray is the best player on the pitch at the moment.

Interesting that Sadler is stood on the right wing watching Gray in particular.

[Collymore]

Mendy looks so comfortable 

[StanSP]

Tielemans getting battered. 

 

Kit looks good. 

[Guest Manini]

Imagine being an 18/19 year old striker playing for Birmingham looking for a nice ease into pre season and seeing you're up against Soyuncu who will take great pleasure in throwing you about for 90 minutes  

[trabuch]

Good to see Gray playing well.

And then realising there's another 30 to go.

[jeffschlupp]

Pre-match they said we were going to make lots of changes at HT and then after 60 mins.

 

How is this possible if there's only five players on the bench?

[StanSP]

Gray looking good but not getting much support going forward. Hope Hirst can get in the game a bit more.

3 first team players I think they said. Harley Dean is deffo 1st team. Cb. 

I was thinking of a different Harley Dean when they announced the team line ups

he always was.. he reads the game superbly being an anchor in the midfield.. he isnt a box to box like we tried to replace in kante just a shame he has always struggled with injury. He is fully capable of covering ndidi above anyone else.

I just listed what they put on the stream there is probably more as Johnson is sitting on the bench.

[TrentFox]

Like the look of what Tavares has done. Hirst looks way off the pace. 

[Paninistickers]

This is Barnes' season. 

 

There's something about his swagger I can see and the bulking up. 

 

I shall bump this post if proved right later this year. And easily forgotten if I'm wrong

The five on the bench come on at half time. Then form part of the second 60 team. That will also have subs to replace those five after the second 45....

[AjcW]

Oh scratch that they’ve change their mind and we’re doing two 45’s

[StanSP]

Did Soyuncu just hit the post? Or was it a defender block?

We borrow some of Birmingham's players like school days. 

[UniFox21]

Tavares looks fairly capable so far
