davieG Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 The Leicester City treatment room was a hive of activity on Monday morning following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Luton Town. Stephen Hughes (groin/back) and Gareth McAuley (calf) were all nursing knocks following their exertions at the weekend, while Paddy McCarthy (shoulder), Danny Tiatto (hamstring) and Matty Fryatt (foot) were unavailable for selection. But assistant manager Mike Stowell believes that the picture should become a little clearer ahead of this weekend's trip to Portman Road to face Ipswich. He said: "We have got a few bumps and bruises in the camp following the Luton game. "Gareth McAuley has got a very tight calf which has stopped him from going to join up with his Northern Ireland team-mates. That's disappointing for the lad. "Stephen Hughes has been carrying a slight groin and back problem and it forced him to come off on Saturday. We will have to wait and see how that progresses over the week, but we are hopeful that he will be ok for the weekend. "Geoff Horsfield has got a few aches and pains following his first game since December and Matty Fryatt is still struggling with his foot and toe. So we are nursing a few at the moment. "Paddy McCarthy looks set to be out for at least a couple of weeks after he dislocated his shoulder on Thursday, while Danny could also be out for a similar period. "But that's football and we will get on with it." Meanwhile, Patrick Kisnorbo has joined up with the Australia squad ahead of their international friendly against Denmark at Loftus Road on Tuesday evening.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 Bothered. I couldn't care less about any of our players missing any games anymore. Unless it was all of them I suppose, but even then at least we'd get to watch a different bunch of idiots f**k it up for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if he is persistantly injured of which he has seemed to be ever since Levein bought him, he might want to consider a different career path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 More injuries to the first team the better in my opinion. Forces Kelly into playing some of the youth team who may (or maybe not ) actually give a fk about the team Whatever happens I doubt they'd perform any worse than the current set of gashrabbits.

That's pretty much what I was going for, but the use of the word "gashrabbits" has made it ten times more effective than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 Right shame about Mcarthy that is. Hopefully McAuley will be alrite for Sat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_jme Posted 6 February 2007 Share Posted 6 February 2007 Doesn't really make a difference. Sure it's a blow to be missing a couple of them, but regardless of whether or not we have them, the team performance will still be gutless, thoughtless and class-less.

Simi Posted 6 February 2007 Share Posted 6 February 2007 If McAuley doesn't make it then who will play with Kisnorbo ? ...Kenton ? Nils ? Stearman ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 6 February 2007 Share Posted 6 February 2007 kenton most likely, i'd try stearman there myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted 6 February 2007 Share Posted 6 February 2007 kenton most likely, i'd try stearman there myself. Kenton will once again have no fitness and get thrown into the team. I would like to see Stearman their myself aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed as there is so little to cheer about at the moment, you could try guessing the moment in the week when there's some dull article on the OS in which Kelly or Stowell will say: "we're down to bare bones again, but I know that whatever 11 step over that white line at five to three on Saturday will do a job for Leicester, and will be competitive" Might not be a good job, but at least they'll do a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Weso deserves a proper run at this stage. I'm somehow feeling Kelly wants to protect him. Otherwise it is pure madness he can be very good for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think some of our squad is capable of doing any fúcking job. Let alone a football related one. I can't wait for us to cut some of these gobshites loose. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simi Posted 7 February 2007 Share Posted 7 February 2007 Fúck off Kenton. That's one way to put it. I don't mind Kenton, I just feel that Kelly has no idea of where to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
