Lol 2
LVFox Posted 4 September Posted 4 September Oxford are a mess - what I will say though, is we need to rotate. I think we will go: McCarthy Aluko Souttar O'Hora(Maybe Kanga) Thomas Lundstrom Page Burns Cullen Watson Riis 1
Angus Scott Posted 4 September Posted 4 September Are you intent on killing the newly acquired positivity that a lot are now feeling

It’s all fun and games until you realise that now we have riis BDCR will now be taking minutes form Alves or Howell…. Or even page or Sammy 🙃 1
Popular Post OntarioFox Posted 4 September Popular Post Posted 4 September (edited) 4 hours ago, AKCJ said: This is part of the whole situation that pisses me off. All it has taken for some positivity from the fans is a 2-0 win at home to Plymouth and a few fresh faces in while those that have contributed to our downfall have left. Look through this thread and you can see that people are genuinely excited to watch us play Oxford in a League 1 game. The club have gaslit fans for years into thinking our negativity has been the issue and it's simply not the case. Leicester fans just want, need and deserve to have a team worth supporting and I think we've finally got it. I think that's key - I AM excited for these games, but it's because the squad is effectively brand new. It doesn't let King Power off the hook, and it's a genuine disgrace that we find ourselves here. They went completely against fans' wishes to appoint Martin and a few astute signings in the third division - somewhere that we absolutely deserve to be but never in a million years should have found ourselves - are not going to change the fact that they've brought utter shame and the threat of financial ruin on our city and club, and they should leave as soon as possible. But on the pitch, I'm hopeful that things are looking up from here, and it's genuinely exciting to see how the likes of Alves, Braybrooke, Joseph and the other young guns will develop from here. And as for Martinball itself, I've been pleasantly surprised with what we're producing once we stop pissing around with it in our own box. That is largely down to the new faces though - they're lively and haven't been corrupted by the poison at the club over the past few years. Simple things like Page turning and running forward with the ball, or Howell taking on and beating a man, are things I was starting to doubt I'd ever see a Leicester player do again. They're absolute basics, but we've been so starved of simple positive football for a half decade at this point. The way we're currently playing would be ten times harder to watch if the squad overhaul hadn't happened, as has already been proven when losers like Skipp and Okoli have been playing - and we're still seeing it with Reid's baffling continued inclusion, which is hopefully now limited with Riis here. So yeah, bring on Oxford. For all our sins, and however hard it is to get hyped up for third tier football, we've got a team worth getting behind now. Edited 4 September by OntarioFox 7

To be fair, its a mix of what I want it to be, and what I think is realistic. If it was left to me, i would play 2 strikers, but that won't happen. Its like when people put that Ravizzoli in their line up over McCarthy. Never in a month of Sundays would that realistically happen. But yeah, back to the team I put up, I would like one of the new CB's (ideally O'Hora) come in for Thomas, but i just don't think he will. I still stick by the my opinion that it would be Harsh on Thomas to be dropped after looking very comfortable and good at CB..

Funny thing is, it's actually a braver move for Martin to stick with Thomas at centre back. If we lose and he has an absolute shocker, he's far more likely to get pelters for it than if we lose playing with centre backs at centre back. Edited 4 September by BenTheFox

HankMarvin Posted 4 September Posted 4 September A statement win would be nice building confidence in the new players and the youngsters 2
Iwebema Posted 4 September Posted 4 September From RMs conference today it would suggest it might be too early for Lundstrum and Doyle match fitness wise, but Ohora and Riis have a chance. Mccarthy JJ Souttar OHora Thomas Page Braybrooke BDR Burns Riis Alves Would be my guess if thats the case. Nice to have some options at least.

Simonb Posted 4 September Posted 4 September 2-0 win. They'll turn up to try and bully us like last season. Deal with that then we'll win.
whoareyaaa Posted 4 September Posted 4 September Hopefully a similar team to the other night maybe Ohara in for Thomas and Ris for Bristric and Doyle for BDCR
Clever Fox Posted 4 September Posted 4 September I expect Riis to start up top. Other than injures I'd expect pretty much the same linup as Tuesday.
Popular Post CleudoG Posted 4 September Popular Post Posted 4 September Am I the only one who thinks we should give Bistric another start ? Shape looks good when he’s on and he’s due a couple of better chances. Maybe bring Riis on at 60 mins? 9
