darko2k7 Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 Yea surely it's better to fill the bench with youth than have empty spots like the forest game . Even if NP as no intention of using them atleast they get the matchday experience.
Simmo86 Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 Really can see what team we're going to put out with these injuries! Seriously short in midfield!
Saxondale Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 But to clarify, no, i enjoy Indian food and the East Midlands, I am led to believe have some of the best curry places in the UK.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 One day to go until the foxes meet the robins and the 4 meets the 0 Come on city!

Ric Flair Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 This is going to be a right battle with the squad we've got. I'd fill it with animals and just clatter Swindon so that Di Canio get's revved up, loses his head and we should then sneak a scrappy win.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Gotta love the FA cup love these kinds of weekends the only bad thing is it isn't away always the 5th round
Master Fox Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 . I'd fill it with animals. 'FOXES' perhaps...? HA HA HA. Oh Ha...oh my.
Captain... Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 This was always going to be a tough game, even moreso when you look at those unavailable. Struggling to think of an XI to put together, let alone a squad of 18. Wouldn't be too surprised to see us go 5-3-2.... Schmeichel Peltier Mills St. Ledger Tunchev Kennedy Wellens Danns Dyer Beckford Nugent Subs: Smith Taft Konchesky Howard Johnson Moussa An academy lad Think he'd like to give both Wellens and Konchesky a rest, but won't be able to rest Richie. I make it that through injury or suspension or ACON or cup-tied we'll be missing: Pantsil Bamba Drinkwater Moore Delfouneso King Waghorn Gallagher Schlupp Vassell And you could probably throw in Moussa and Johnson to that list. Blimey we really are down to the bare bones, you can add Oakley to the list of out as well. Assuming Johnson and Moussa are out, that is only really Konchesky and Howard on the bench, has Berner actually gone yet? Would be great for him to have one last run out before he goes especially at home. Ironically Left Back is the only position we have covered.
Foreign Red Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Morning Foxes. As a Swindon fan I am quite pleased to hear that you are down to the 'bare bones' however looking at some of your line ups, you should still be very strong. Mills and St Ledger look a strong CB partnership and your midfield and strikeforce is still pretty strong. Just a quick question about your wing backs, Peltier and Tunchev? What type of players are they? Pacy? We are particularly strong down the right wing, with Ritchie and Caddis (bombing on from RB) have been our main source of attacking danger to opponents. Our left isn't quite as strong, but we do like to use the wings when we attack.

Our left isn't quite as strong, but we do like to use the wings when we attack. Our full backs are pretty solid, but they do get exposed when the wide midfielders don't track back, so you may get some joy doubling up on them. Tunchev is a centreback, I would expect Konchesky to start at LB, depends if we have Dyer, very attacking, in front of him or Kennedy a LB/LW who I wuld expect to track back more, but hasn't played many games for us.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Bare bones championship side we're massive remeber!
oadby_fox723 Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Konchesky is our left back, and Peltier is our right back, and both have been solid during the season. Due to the injuries we have, and players away, it is looking likely that we will have Kennedy in left mid, and Dyer on the right. Kennedy is predominantly a left back so will help with the tracking back, and Lloyd Dyer is fantastic at tracking back and helping his full back. But we'd obviously rather be pushing you back and force you to defend
Horace Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Match analysis time..... 1. Leicester Good recent results , many changes to team possible unhinges continuity. Pattern of play diisturbed. Playing at higher level week in week out. Win expectation high, nervous fear of risk of embarrassment. Home advantage could work against if things don't go well 2 Swindon Excellent results only 1 defeat in 22. 83 % record against higher league opposition in 6 matches this season. Away, but huge vocal support, Nothing to lose. Extremely fit side. 1-1 Replay at County Ground
Collymore Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 We can still play 4-4-2 Kasper Peltier Mills St Ledger Konchesky Dyer Wellens Danns Kennedy Beckford Nugent Subs Tunch Howard Taft Logan Etc.. Pearson could always have options of swapping Konchesky and Kennedy around (might work well if they agree to cover each other) If things need changing, bring Big Stevie on a move Nugent back to either wing (swap Dyer) We could even play St ledger RB, Tunch CB and play Peltier on the RW and Dyer LW

So that leaves us with taft smith and howard maybe berner to make 4
Stratton Boy Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Well, One day to go before this game hopefully will be a good game not sure on the score, LCFC should start as faviourites for the game Championship side and at home, howeber this is the FA cup, Swindon do not want a draw as we have a number of important games coming up in the league which is important to us
oadby_fox723 Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Yep, that starting line up seem pretty nailed on to me. Don't know about the bench though, is Tunch fit enough to make the bench? Taft will probably be on the bench, with Smith (GK) and Howard certainties. That probably leaves us with 4 more slots to fill with: Moussa, Oakley, Johnsson not fit. Drinkwater, Moore and Logan cup tied, and Delfouneso not having permission from Villa. Others are long term injuries like Schlupp, King, Waghorn and Vassell. While Bamba and Pantsil are at the ACoN.

lcfcliam Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Surely we should start to see some of the youngsters playing now we can't fill our bench? Would love somebody like Tom Hopper to be given a chance or Joseph Dodoo!
Happy Fox Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Surely we should start to see some of the youngsters playing now we can't fill our bench? Would love somebody like Tom Hopper to be given a chance or Joseph Dodoo! Tom Hopper should definitely be on the bench for this match.
GianEmmo Zola Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Are you allowed to play any kids? Or do they have to have proffesional terms?
