maddog Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Need to get some optimism going early for the League game Saturday and the small matter of a trip to Leeds in the Carling Cup Tuesday night. Reading have also started their season slowly, losing at home to relegation favourites Scunny which is a worser result than our League defeats so far, but followed with a couple of solid 1-1 draws. And in between drawing 0-0 at Torquay in the cup before winning it late in extra time. So surely a win is on the cards for us in this one Reading beat us in this fixture 2-1 last season. We have undergone wholesale changes since then with new players, a new style and a new boss. Reading have stuck with Mcdermott and most of their players that had a good second half to last season. 8 of the players who featured for Reading against Forest at the weekend, played against us in this game at the Walkers last season. We were slightly lucky to nick a 1-0 win at their place, which like this game was on SKY so hopefully it will be another win against Reading on the tele. I'm saying a solid 2-0 win, Leeds have recovered from a poor home loss to Derby to record a thrashing of Lincoln in the cup, a very good away draw at Forest and a comfortable win over Millwall. Last time out at Elland Road was the 1-1 draw on Boxing day which was unlucky not to be a win with Snodgrass late on cancelling out Oakleys opener. Two wins would be very nice and shut the doubters up for a while, lets hope we can win both but i would take a win on Saturday over the cup obviously. I rekon we will draw at Leeds and get through in extra time. Quite an important few days to get some momentum going in these 2 matches. Come on Leicester! :city:
Dylan Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Can't see us winning in the cup, but can see us winning on saturday. Predictions: Leeds 2-1 Leicester (King) Leicester 1-0 Reading (Campbell)
Simo86 Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 I think we'll draw against Leeds and lose on pens, and we'll draw against Reading 1-1 with Campbell scoring for us and Kebe for them.
Asha Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Leeds 1 Leicester 3 (Moussa, Howard, Campbell) Leicester 0 Reading 0
Guest Bilo Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Lids 1 (Gradel) Leicester 0 Leicester 2 (Campbell, King) Reading 1 (Kebe)
Mee Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Leicester 3 - 1 Reading. I can see them getting their heads up (especially if we win tomorrow night) and getting a half decent win. Well i hope so anyway .
Stadt Posted 23 August 2010 Posted 23 August 2010 Lose to the dirty dirtys 2-1 Win against Reading 1-0

milan_foxes Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Leeds 3 ( Somma, Becchio x2) City 0 Read my post above
Simo86 Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Read my post above he could come off the bench and score twice "resting" a player does not necessarily mean they are out of the squad completely
MC Prussian Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Can't see more than a loss in the Cup and another unfortunate draw at home vs. Reading. I'd rejoice some positive surprises, though. But with a rocky start, the team not gelling properly, a few key players injured and morale (allegedly) low, I expect it to be a disappointing week. The motor's stuttering, but I'm sure it'll get into gears as the season progresses.
C-man Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Get your money on another League Cup 6-0 Leeds tonight.
dave_the_fox Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Nice to see your doing these again Maddog, i reckon you have only done boro so far, which has been our best performance!
Karljohn Posted 24 August 2010 Posted 24 August 2010 Leeds 1 Leicester 1 (Campbell) win on pens Leicester 2 Reading 1 (Campbell 2)
maddog Posted 25 August 2010 Author Posted 25 August 2010 Reading out to Northampton on pens in the cup at home. There for the slaughter Saturday.
J.Lisemore Posted 28 August 2010 Posted 28 August 2010 Anyone know if its going to be a decent crowd? or are we just scrapeing the 20,000 barrier <_<
Far Post Gerry Posted 28 August 2010 Posted 28 August 2010 Depends which Reading team turns up, but I'll go for a 2-0 City win. King and Dyer, if he plays.
Simmo86 Posted 28 August 2010 Posted 28 August 2010 Anyone know if its going to be a decent crowd? or are we just scrapeing the 20,000 barrier <_< The online ticket do-dar on the OS is making look like there gonna be quite a few there today!! But with Leicester who knows
