Leicester v Birmingham

[FoxesWalk]

Winning is a habit, and we need to get back into it. I’d play a strong ish side here to try and get some momentum back.

They will close us down with energy and push us pretty much like all the teams who have beaten us have done. Think Enzo rotates and we lose this one too. It’s fun being a foxes fan. 

Do you think Birmingham will go full strength then?

[SickoDicko]

if bham do go full strength, them at 7/1 is far too big a price, could be a bit like the Millwall game this i still fancy us, just

They don’t play again until the next Saturday so don’t need to rotate at all really

[filbertway]

Mads

 

Nelson

I had originally typed (I know it goes against everything Enzo believes in and according to the footballing gurus on here, "that's now how the game is played") but I tried to keep the negativity out of my post for once

 

You dragged it out of me though!

 

[kingkisnorbo]

Their fans will be very good. 

[supernuk]

This sold out yet 👀

[Hales]

Smash them! Get the winning momentum going again!

[Durnerz]

I’ll be there! First game for my little lad so I’m really excited! The wonders of general sale eh…

[DJ Barry Hammond]

So does Hamza play / make the squad? 
 

And will the Sensi transfer complete in time or are we going to let Inter fully dictate when he joins us? 

[FoxesWalk]

Is this televised anywhere in the world? (Basically is there any chance of a stream…)

Brum City fans are a bunch of knuckle dragging chunts

 

Leeds

Millwall

Brum

Burnley

Cov

Pompey

 

All scum imo.

I would imagine, with Mowbray still only being relatively new at Brum, he will use this game to have a closer look at a few squad and younger players - no guarantee but the championship being what it is in their position they win 3 or 4 on the bounce and suddenly they are back in contention for the play offs, they lose 3 or 4 and they are in serious trouble.

With that in mind it’s a chance for us to rotate a bit, but I think it’s important we stay in the cup for two reason 1) winning is a habit, the more we win the better for the team and 2) these games give us the chance to give the likes of Nelson and possibly Alves as well as Coady, Albrighton, Praet game time and ensure they are match fit and ready to play if needed.

 

Id go:

Stolarczyk 

 

Choudhury

Nelson

Coady

Doyle

 

Yunus 

Praet

Winks
 

Albrighton

Cannon

Maswanhise

 

I think with Brum making 5/6 changes that should be enough to get us over the line.

only one i think wont be near, since hes close to a move out

[Pliskin]

I think we’re in for a hammering here. I can see Enzo making wholesale changes that will likely significantly weaken us. They will probably go full strength, and they’re actually a decent side and will be bang up for it.

No chance from the way Enzo has spoke no way will we lay down. We need to get winning again and this is a prefect opportunity. Obviously some changes but shouldn't be strictly the B team.

I hope this is the case. I think we should approach this as a league game, and like you say get a win!
