As you say, not after the weekend. That said, we'll be putting out a full strength side too I suspect. Just that our full strength will be more who's available than an ideal starting 11. We're on a hiding to nothing as I see it. Who knows though, out of such adversity can come inspiration... or whatever. I’m afraid at the moment their ‘full strength side’ is better than ours. BUT the cups are funny things. Average players suddenly find some sort of form and ‘show up’ when needed

Paninistickers Posted 10 January 2023 Posted 10 January 2023 We all remember a feeble villa side dersevedly beating us in a 2 legged semi. And a poor Slavia Prague doing us over. I don't fancy us at all. But, you never know. Bit of self imposed pressure on them having been dumped out the FA Cup. Our big players just clicking for once all together....Barnes, Kels, Vards, Youri and Wilf having a monster game
Leicesterpool Posted 10 January 2023 Posted 10 January 2023 Imagine winning the league Cup but finishing 16th would that be considered a good season for Rodgers. He could say I have delivered another cup and a return to a European competition. 2

Go in to it filled with hate, bitterness and anger and maybe we'll not crumble so easily. I hate 3-4-1-2 but I think that's what I'd go for. Iversen Amartey Faes Soyuncu Castagne Ndidi Tielemans McAteer Barnes Daka Iheanacho Haven't got it in us under this manager. I'm convinced that's instruction as well. He's the least shithouse manager ever. 1

So basically you are embarrassed to be a Leicester fan today? Hats off to you for making the trip (which I am guessing you are) you deserve some sort of thank you from the club. In recent years our fan base frequently manages to embarrass me. I go to most games home (season ticket) and away. I'm a larger than life, loud character, by nature. We, as a fan base, seem incapable, these days, of rallying behind our team, if the chips are down. This isn't the case with other clubs. The opposite in fact. The team have to lift us, rather than vis-versa. We're a strange, inverted bunch, for some unknown reason. I'm already in Gateshead this afternoon. I'm in a box this evening in the Milburn stand. I drove here, and I'll be driving back to Notts tomorrow. Edited 10 January 2023 by FoxinNotts 4

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 10 January 2023 Posted 10 January 2023 I just can't see it. I hope I'm wrong.

Oh no I fully agree that things are stale right now and that there's a sense of apathy towards the club from large parts of the fanbase. I think a lot of people (myself included) are feeling a certain disconnect from the club and have down for some time now. But to suggest that we're the only fans that don't get behind their club when things aren't going well simply isn't true. Anyway....enjoy the game tonight mate. Expectations are low but it would be a real confidence boost if we could win there 2

One of the few occasions in Brendan's tenure where we didn't get what we deserved. Their first choice keeper turned into prime Yashin in the second leg & we were denied an obvious penalty.

People don't feel any connection to the team mainly due to the manager and his incredibly boring (not suitable) style of play. That coupled with owners who are more secretive and less visible than the leading family of North Korea doesn't help.

Expectations are low but it would be a real confidence boost if we could win there It never used to be this way, as a city fan. I personally feel, since the dawn of all seater stadiums, this affected the atmosphere with our fans more than most, for some unkown reason. I have countless memories of standing, especially away, and singing our hearts out to get the team back into games. Don't see it anymore. 1
Diffco Posted 10 January 2023 Posted 10 January 2023 We're gonna start as we start every game. Sluggish and daydream-like. 2-0 down in the first 20 mins. Goal back before half time. Then another 2 goals conceded in the 2nd half. 4-1 loss
