Scow Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Championship side Leicester City have confirmed they are bringing a first team squad for tonight's friendly at London Road and have named a 17-man party including plenty of household names including Jason Wilcox and David Connolly (pictured).Former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kevin Pressman will be between the sticks for the Foxes while ex-Ipswich Town front man James Scowcroft is in the squad. Frenchman Lilian Nalis, who scored one of the goals of the season last year, is expected to be in midfield alongside Scot Gemmill. Joey Gudjonsson and Danny Tiatto are also included, as is Matt Elliott, who will be looking for a solid performance as he looks to claim a regular spot in the Foxes back-line. Nathan Blake retired from international football this year to concentrate on club football and he is likely to start up front. The squad, which contains no fewer than nine internationals, will face a Posh side including several players on their way back from injury. Posh boss Barry Fry is expected to include Peter Kennedy in his starting line-up after the Irishman came through Thursday's training session without any ill effects. Leon Constantine and David Farrell will get at least another hour under their belts after both returning from injury in recent weeks. Admission for the friendly (7.45pm) is just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions in the South (lower tier only) and North Stands. Both terraces will be closed this evening. Leicester: Pressman, Logan, Makin, Nalis, Williams, Scowcroft, Gemmill, Heath, Gudjonsson, Tiatto, Elliott, Wilcox, Blake, Canero, Stearman, Connolly, Butcher. So just Stearman and Butcher involved from the academy - Apart from that, virtually a first team squad. :w00t:
Steven Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Given the squad, can someone tell me what the point of this match is :?: <_<
Cat Burger Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 I HOPE it's to test a new formation or something!
Ric Flair Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Given the squad, can someone tell me what the point of this match is :?: <_< 25024[/snapback] Perhaps for them to get a win under thier belt and then for Adams to have another go at the fans saying this is the start of an unbeaten run. Stearman will defo play as there's only two centre backs in the squad, him being one of them! I wish Wesolowski would be given a chance, I worryingly see he keeps getting played at right back for the reserves. Gay

I counted three (Elliott, Heath, Stearman). Anyway, I doubt MA will be changing tactics for today's game, he's too stubborn for that. I would laugh if we lost today! And the thing about 9 internationals in the squad - what a joke. So they played for their respectives countries at one point, doesn't mean they still deserve the 'international player' label!
davieG Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Given the squad, can someone tell me what the point of this match is :?: <_< 25024[/snapback] To officially 'open/turn on' Peterborough's New Floodlights. They were after a top notch side as opposition unfortunately we were all the could get.
Anish Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 They agreed to play Spurs but Spurs later pulled out so we stepped in.
Cobbo Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 They agreed to play Spurs but Spurs later pulled out so we stepped in. 25034[/snapback] Sloppy seconds ay... <_<

Sorry my fault, I didn't see Heath on that list. How can anybody miss Heath? Such an awesome talent.

Louise Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Team is: Pressman Stearman Elliott Heath Canero Nalis Gemmill Tiatto Wilcox Connolly Scowcroft Subs: Stewart, Makin, Williams, Gudjonsson, Blake, Butcher, Freeman (physiotherapist) (the formation is my guess)
Benji Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 would love him to use 3-5-2 but i have a feeling tiatto and wilcox will do the alternating thing that has worked so well this season
Mark Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Team is:Pressman Stearman Elliott Heath Canero Nalis Gemmill Tiatto Wilcox Connolly Scowcroft Subs: Stewart, Makin, Williams, Gudjonsson, Blake, Butcher, Freeman (physiotherapist) (the formation is my guess) 25075[/snapback] Why is Adams is being a tosser again? Well done for starting Stearman, but putting a physiotherapist as a sub? He ALWAYS seems to do this, he does it pre season also. Just put a youth player in there like Doddsy or Wesolowski on the bench. He is employed as a physio, so why regularly pick him as a sub for friendlys? Adams out.
Ash Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Given the squad, can someone tell me what the point of this match is :?: <_< 25024[/snapback] I guess to keep there fitness going , instead of having a break
Craig Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 I'm guessing the academy sides are playing tomorrow, that could be the reason why there's a physio instead of some younger players.
Anish Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 But what is the point of a physio being on the bench??! He's paid to be a physio, not an emergency sub in friendly games! And we have enough cover anyway without him being named as a substitute. This is fooking ridiculous.
Buzzell Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Fooking stupid! He's treating the friendly as a league match! FFS play some talent!
Craig Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Fooking stupid! He's treating the friendly as a league match! FFS play some talent! 25096[/snapback] Thats what reserve games are for. I don't think you can criticise him for putting a strong side out.
Ash Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 We lost 2-1 25100[/snapback] I really hope this isnt true (Not saying your lying Louise,but its a shock )
Buzzell Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Putting a strong team out and then go out and lose 2-1, ****ing brilliant!
Louise Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Heath was our scorer.. Shockingly, we were leading.
Buzzell Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Heath was our scorer.. Shockingly, we were leading. 25107[/snapback] As usual
Scow Posted 8 October 2004 Author Posted 8 October 2004 Playing the physio again? How unprofessional are we? It's a joke. <_<
Ash Posted 8 October 2004 Posted 8 October 2004 Id profer to have one less sub than have a Physio on the bench
