These haven't won since around the beginning of October so if we can't beat them we may as well pack and go home! No disrespect to them meant.

 

 I just hope Rodgers sees sense and plays a load of squad members because in certain positions,  if we lose someone like Faus or Castagne we're knackered. 

It's Gillingham and we've got internationals that rarely play. Mendy, Iheanacho, Soyuncu, Vestergaard and Perez could all have a run out. A couple of the u23s too to try and bed them in. What's the point of a 100m training facility and academy if you don't at least give them a go in a game like this when you put them on the bench in Premiership matches?

Exactly. I thought with the investment in the youth set up and training ground our strategy was to bring players through/ sell them on. We have got to give them a chance at some point.

 

Accepting you don’t want to introduce too many at once, especially when the first team is struggling, we may be forced to rely on a few from next season given the number of out of contract players and likely departure of Madders. Let’s start to find out if any can step up.

Iversen, Wormleighton, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Mcateer, Albrighton, Mendy, Braybrooke, Maswanhise, Perez, Iheanacho.

 

4-4-2/4-4-1-1. Don't think we have enough fit centre mids to play 3 in the middle as there's not a chance Tielemans should play even a single minute today. Same for Faes, Castagne and Barnes. Could bring in Brunt or Ndidi but i don't see the point in playing 2 cdms against these. Get the attacking players on the pitch and see what they can do.

They've probably had thousands of Leicester fans take up those odds

Buzzing to see Braybrooke, surely gets his debut today!

 

Hopefully Wormleighton gets a start today as well, I've not seen as much but seems to be highly regarded by the usual suspects.

 

Gutted Alves has been broken as this would have been perfect for him.

Confirmed what I knew really biggest dump in the 92. Never like trashing this country or peoples home town but if I was to write an dystopian based film this would be the setting

Well I've certainly put a few quid on Gillingham to win! I hear they have sickness in their squad and are only able to field four players (The tea-lady, The cleaner, The kitman and his elderly mother). Our only chance is if a couple of them get sent off - and, even then, they will still physically dominate our team of weedy pushovers. 4-0 home win!

If we do the unthinkable and lose today could that be the end of Rodgers? 

Take a lot worse to get him gone....

He'd have to be caught on CCTV in a compromising position with Cags in the shower to get sacked 😂

Having an ex Millwall player and manager is a good fit then

Although I thought Albrighton was our vice captain, not Tielemans?
