Cardiff Away

[coolhandfox]

41 points to go to a 100 pts with 22 games to go 1.86 pts per game required.

 

December is a tough month.

6 games so far;

We have dropped 2 points.

Southampton 4

Ipswich 7

Leeds 8

 

If we can close it out with a win here it's been a great month.

Cant be dropping anymore points, we don't want to give any hope to the chasing pack. Be a few changes no doubt but the complacency shown 2nd half tonight needs stamping out. 

Yes the 16 out 18 points so far this month has been a big worry

People seem to think teams are catching us, when in actually fact during the month of December we have pull far away from all our rivals.

 

Or lead of Ipswich has gone from 1 < 6

Southampton 9 < 11 

Leeds 8 < 13

I’d be very surprised if Doyle starts myself. Reckon he’ll get some game time against Huddersfield and then start against Millwall in the cup. It’ll be nice to have him back though. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Win.

[FoxesWalk]

Start Cannon over Nacho, if Daka needs the rest

We've had a great month and a draw before ko today wouldn't have been a bad result but conceding a last minute equaliser is a kick in the nuts and a bit demoralising for both the fans and players. My point is that we need to move on quickly and forget about it by beating Cardiff. We have a run of games now against teams we should comfortably beat before we play Ipswich again so we need to take advantage and put ourselves even further ahead of the chasing pack

Because Daka cannot link play aswell on a consistent basis. Iheanacho is quicker to think and act when we are breaking and that hasn't changed. 

Cannon is clearly 4th choice as he hasn't been given too many minutes even though fit.

Did you see Iheanacho when he came on tonight and did you see him in the 6 or 7 games before his illness? He's been bloody awful. Playing like a man with an offer on the table.

 

I agree about Daka, his link play isn't great and sometimes his control is just as bad as Nacho but he's also in form.

Be good to win this and forget about the m0ngs from Ipshit

[Devonfox1884]

Same XI as last night, with the exceptions of Choudhury for Pereira and JJ back in for Coady.

Love FT, unbeaten in 8 games, 6 wins and 2 draws, last to the leagues number 2 scoring a freak of nature goal with 2 reflections on their pitch! Now cant we afford to lose any more points! Several changes in lineup must be made! And the followers are too close in the table! 

Wonder how the fans would hvad it, if we have gotten that penalty or the red card to their longhaired terrier 🤔

I admire this attitude. A change from the foxestalk dispondent doom and often gloom.

It would of been all the HMS piss the league talk, when the reality is somewhere between both extremes.

Hermansen

 

Hamza

Faes

Vestergaard

Justin

Praet

Where was he last night? 

[CosbehFox]

Think the game in between BD and New year is a pain in the arse for managers etc. We will have to rotate and it’s going to be difficult for us as a result

Hopefully we'll have Justin back in, the Coady Vestergaard Faes back three isn't working playing out from the back, and struggling to start attacks that's Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall and Ipswich they've played together, winning just one and conceding last minute goals in them all.

You’d have a point but against Wednesday when they scored Justin was on the pitch at half time with Faes subbed on and v Millwall, Coady was subbed off on 60 with Justin on 

[Steve Earle]

Well I for one expect massive rotation for these two games. I don’t expect too many outfield players to start both, with the obvious exceptions of CBs and wingers where, in the latter case, we simply don’t have options (though Madivadua might come into the reckoning).

 

Teams will be selected based on recoveries and ‘gas in the tank’. I hope ( but am not counting on) that Praet can start one of them. Cannon I expect to start on Friday to give Pat a breather and to help break him in (so to speak) before AFCON 

[HighPeakFox]

On Praet, apart from the 'he's made of glass' theory, he might be the subject of a transfer request, and he might have just been plain dropped altogther.

Absolutely charming. 

[MattFox]

Southampton seem to have replaced Leeds as the bedwetters flavour of the month 

[Noahfence]

These seem to win one then lose two and repeat

Controversial but I am yet to be convinced by Akgun.

He looks a tidy player but very very lightweight and not good for the rigours of the championship

Had the night off due to fatigue apparently 

 

He has been overplayed recently  

[Ric Flair]

The front three of Mavididi Daka Fatawu is without question our strongest. Fitness permitting, they need to start every league game until AFCON.

 

I'm very surprised Cannon didn't come on vs Rotherham or last night. Iheanacho is pretty much done here IMO.
