Tom17LCFC Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 Can see us losing this one, maybe a draw. Just can't see us winning after we've drubbed them twice. It's the way Leicester do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 I'd normally be scornful of people wanting promotion than winning the FA Cup, as I was last season. But as this time round promotion looks much more of a possibility than it did a year ago, I wouldn't be bothered if we lose this. I want a massive cup tie as much as the next person meaning we'd have to beat Huddersfield, but looking at the bigger picture though the more games you go unbeaten (4 wins in a row as it stands for us now) the higher the chances of us losing the next game. If we win tomorrow it only means it's more likely we'll lose to Wolves on Thursday and so on. They owe us one, they've just got rid of their manager which can sometimes galvanise a team, so I'm predicting 2-1 Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 Mark Lawrenson's prediction http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/21169367 Huddersfield v Leicester Continue reading the main story “Leicester have got bigger fish to fry in terms of their promotion bid†Huddersfield are on a terrible run of 12 games without a win in the Championship which has cost Simon Grayson his job. That was a surprise because he knows that division inside out. Leicester, in contrast, are on a five-match winning run but I think they have got bigger fish to fry in terms of their promotion bid. I don't think we will see many of the Foxes' first-team, which is why I am still backing Huddersfield to progress. Resting players is fine for clubs like Leicester, if they make their fans aware that promotion to the Premier League is what matters most. Then they don't get disappointed when they buy tickets, travel and the reserves turn up. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 That means we will win then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 We better not put a full team of reserves out...:-/ I'm all for it if fixtures are looking congested but we've not had a game for 8 days.....rest a few but win the tie....the amount of problems they've got they are there for the taking.

Kamark's Pocket Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 Putting my current forum reputation on the line here..... 0-2 with Colin Hill getting both and a red card for Julian Watts in the 4th minute for shaving a ball boy against his wishes. Being the kind of easily pleased peasant that I am, I will be happy with 5 pints of decent beer and a good atmosphere, possible a showing from the Hudders Heffers at half time (made them up, but fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume you're trolling but anyway, we won't win the Prem but I'd like to see us compete and do as well as we can in it. I'd rather win the FA Cup than get promoted.

If you think our owners are going to continue to fund our existence in the championship for much longer then you need to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know automatic promotion is the goal, but even if we progress in the FA Cup I don't see it as a distraction and I doubt NP and his squad of players would do either but rather they see it as an opportunity to keep the winning mentality going. If we do progress and get a prem team then what better way to test yourself against that opposition it will be good practice for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamark's Pocket Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 Surely people realise by now that NP wants to win every game? Mark my words we will have a very strong side out on Saturday, it is a competition NP takes very seriously and one that all fans of any club in England should want to win. It's the attitude that it does not matter that is sadly degrading the most historically impressive domestic cup competition in the world. You only have to watch 2 women 1 cup to see how impressive it could be, just imagine 2 women 1 FA Cup...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blur Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 2-0 to us. Huddersfield hasn't been at races lately and I don't think they will suffer from caretaker boss syndrome. Nugent and Dyer with goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say Chris Wood breaks his leg in training, or against Wolves......? Then what? Is it worth it? He still needs to settle into the squad further, so i am not object to him starting or playing some part. I would personally like to see nugent given a rest, played pretty much every game this season, so would deserve a rest. Would also be nice to see what vardy would play like with a more physical presence alongside him in Wood. Either perform well enough to prove you are good enough for this league this season, or we will send you out on loan, this should be the message given to vardy.

In training it cant be avoided, in a cup run it can. That was my point and right now I'd rather our players were tucked up indoors chomping at the bit for another 3 points in the league.

If I'm honest, I quite like a good cup run. Yes it can be a distraction at times, but we're performing well in the league so it will only help our momentum. The only thing that will annoy me is Watford going a couple of points clear before we play Wolves... But we could go straight back to 2nd with a win so no biggie.

Babylon Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 Can see us losing just because we've dominated them so much in the other games. I'm not going to say that I want us to go out... but if we lose I wouldn't be particularly bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
