davieG Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Young Foxes Aiming High Posted on: Tue 08 Jan 2008 Leicester City will face Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday evening (7pm).

The Foxes grabbed a place in the fourth round of the competition following a 1-0 victory over Blackburn last month. Academy manager Jon Rudkin said: "The FA Youth Cup is a fabulous competition which is steeped in history. We are really looking forward to the tie. "It's great experience for the young lads to be playing at the Walkers Stadium." Admission prices on the night are £3 for over-16s and £1 for under-16s.

I'd love to go but i would end up being billy-no-mates...
Raj Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 I can barely muster up the enthusiasm to watch the First Team at the moment. However..Bloody Good Luck to the Young Uns. Hope they can show the Firt squaders how to win a game of football at The Walkers!

SamL Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 well i think if the first team were winning games 6-2 then the staidum would get packed out every week! Unfortunatly it's never going to happen. I agree with Raj, it's difficult to feel enthusiasm about the club after the last few seasons of crap. Every season I think it's going to be different but it never is. Would be nice to see atleast one team at Leicester do ok though but Crystal Palace have a pretty good youth team. Come on you blueeeeeeeeeeees.
Thracian Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Wouldn't want to miss it. Mind you, the normally refreshingly attacking approach of youth matches was altered against Blackburn in the first round when we scored an early goal and showed the same sort of attitude as the first team thereafter. I was disappointed and saw no reason or excuse for it, especially as I don't rate our defence anyway. Still, we'll see what happens tonight.

Surely the fact that they won vindicated it, your the one who is always complaining about our strange inabilty to get past the 3rd round despite having a good youth team, then when they finally do do it, you moan about the way in which they do it.

Yes I did complain - about our inability to convert endless chances when it came to the Youth Cup, particularly against Huddersfield. But, while our academy side operates as close to my own philosophy as any, I would see no reason to take a cautious approach when it is so obvious that our attack is our strength. As for the youngsters running time down in the corner - I warned about it then and the first team lost two points because the lesson wasn't learned less than a month later. No, stumbling 1-0 wins perhaps achieved by scoring quickly and then defending in numbers would not satisfy me nor would they normally be anything like the extent of my ambition. Sadly perhaps, I'm the sort who'd even get unhappy about a 4-1 win if the one was conceded carelessly or if we lost concentration and threw easy chances away which would otherwise have meant us scoring seven. It would take a huge challenge for me to compromise my style of playing in any circumstances because I'm such a believer in making opponents do the worrying. By doing so against Blackburn I thought we gave them a chance.
Mark Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 It'll be a bit tough tonight if Palace are playing the likes of Bostock and Moses.
Thracian Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 It'll be a bit tough tonight if Palace are playing the likes of Bostock and Moses. Sounds like a case of which attack prevails. I'll be interested to see the squad we have out.
James. Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 It'll be a bit tough tonight if Palace are playing the likes of Bostock and Moses. Has anyone seen much of Bostock? I haven't but a mate of mine who supports Palace orgasms at the mere mention of his name. Apparently he has the potential to be pretty bloody special.
Tevez Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Going down tonight, should be decent. Got some good talent Palace have, but rumour has it Moses is injured and Bostock played on Saturday.
Boycie Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Should be alright actually, even better that its only a pound. Bostock will play i can feel it. Hopefully Mattock plays aswell.
lildave3 Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Should be alright actually, even better that its only a pound. Bostock will play i can feel it. Hopefully Mattock plays aswell. How likely is that? Seriously?
Tevez Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 How likely is that? Seriously? Yes, we got told today.
Thracian Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 How likely is that? Seriously? I've known stranger things. He didn't figure at Southampton and City are keen to do well in this competition. He certainly attended the last match.
onesize Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Should be a good game. Scannell, Moses, Robinson, Bostock all playing for palace. Lee Hills is injured.
Geo V Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 All the best to the City kids. Lets hope that some of them continue to progress and become first team players in the near future.
onesize Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 1-1 Ashley-Paul Robinson for us. Your goal was a palace own goal btw
onesize Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 2-2 Robinson with his 2nd from the penalty spot (shocking decision apparently)
Mark Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 2-1 Leicester - pen We're doing brilliant then when Scannell, Moses & Bostock are all playing for you! 2-2
