Birmingham away

[Leicesterpool]

1-2 defeat in coming, think we may score and actually make a game of it but will fall well short.

Okoli suspended for 3 games straight red card.  Scenes on Saturday when King recalls Vestergaard and Skipp keeps more or less the same team and has the 

newbies on the bench.

Who is back available? I don't really stay abreast of injury news tbh

Ah yes of course.

 

I'd like to see us increase bodies at CB, CM and CF - we don't have good enough players there, and you can't win games with such a flimsy core.

 

I fully expect it will be the same XI, same formation and same tactics. Just with some subs coming on at 60 minutes when we're 3-0 down

Only 1 game isn't it? It wasn't violent conduct.

I believe a straight red is always a 3 game ban, regardless of the offense.

It's not - denial of a goal scoring opportunity is a one game ban

Apologies, I’ve always had it in my head that it’s 3. Shows how much attention I pay, thanks for clarifying.

That striker? Really? Will Still is a bit old to cover so much ground in midfield as well. 

 

[TrentFox]

So for three more days, we can convince ourselves that a team of the below is our path to redemption……..

                      Begovic 

Aluko    Lascelles  Nelson   Ricky     
              Winks    Aribo    
Fatawu          Mukasa       Mavididi

                      Richards 

… until we see them play. Then it’s back to Hamza, Ayew, Vesty and Daka 🥴

At least we aren’t starting Daka or Ayew

[adejo92]

Will be the same line up thats done so well all season.

 

King will be absolutely stumped that he has to make a change in the back line so we'll probably just play with 10 men.

Its to do with the tilt of the planet and it not being a leap year, I think.

It wouldn't have been if it involved Arsenal or Liverpool. And the wise sage pundits would nod along in agreement as the incident took place too far away from the goal. Yellow card only. Or summat.

Rudkins request to give the new players time to learn the culture of the club.

[Gazza M]

Wouldn't expect Lescelles to start straight away. Think we will use FA cup match v Southampton to give him as many mins as possible to get up to speed. Mukasa might get the nod though I think. Richards could be an impact sub. Aribo may get minutes too as would question Winks and Skipps match fitness.

Whenever I put a 5-3-2 out people say that - you'd think I'd take the hint 😆 

 

I think we've got players who could make it work. I also think a lot of those players would look better with an extra centre back, centre mid and centre forward.

 

I also think Fatawu needs dropping...
