Kelvin Wilson? I live in Scotland and I've never heard of him and he doesn't even get on the bench for celtic

I'm starting to wonder if most of the posters on here are forest fans. Considering that pretty much everybody has put them in their top 6.

Where Leicester City stand after pre-season friendlies

By Leicester Mercury

Thursday, August 01, 2013

 

Pre-season friendlies are never true indicators of the likely fortunes of teams when the real action kicks off, but they can provide a pointer to where they are at.

Leicester City look like they still have some work to do, on and off the pitch.

Of course, they are not going to come up against any team in the Championship that possesses the quality of AS Monaco, who have shelled out a small fortune in a bid to qualify for the Champions League and possibly even challenge for the French title.

But there was a sense that City didn't really have a good enough go at their illustrious visitors, as if they were holding back for Middlesbrough on Saturday, which again makes a true assessment difficult of the shape City are currently in.

Manager Nigel Pearson's squad has hardly changed from the one that reached the play-offs last season, so it is obvious they are capable of challenging for a top-six place again in the coming campaign.

The big question though is can they do even better? Is this squad capable of challenging for automatic promotion?

They looked on course last season when they marched into the top two. But they fell away dramatically, an indication that ultimately they weren't quite good enough over the whole season, that something was missing.

This is a young squad which is learning and developing together.

They will get better in time, but the addition of a couple of astute signings could make all the difference. It could give City the boost they need.

The Financial Fair Play regulations are honourable, but they have come at the wrong time for City.

Manager Nigel Pearson now has his hands tied. To conform with the regulations and avoid sanctions, he must first offload high wage earners before he can bring in more players. But other clubs outside the Premier League are in a similar position.

That is all except for the three sides coming down from the Premier League who are bolstered by their parachute payments and have been able to conduct business.

Yes, that finance didn't help Wolves and Blackburn Rovers, but money is irrelevant when there is clear mismanagement at the very top. Plus, FFP has changed the landscape in the Championship even further and created an uneven playing field.

But that is the situation City find themselves in and they have no choice but to conform, and there are still plenty of reasons for optimism this season.

In goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, captain Wes Morgan and striker David Nugent they have three of the best players in the division. Plus some of Pearson's young recruits have started to blossom.

Ritchie De Laet will be a key man, especially if City adopt the wing-back system they have tried out in pre-season, while Matty James is growing in stature in central midfield.

Anthony Knockaert is potentially a match-winner and it is important City find a role for him which brings out his undoubted talents, while Andy King is developing into an influential figure.

If Pearson can get others firing consistently as well this coming campaign, City could be true contenders. But a couple of additions could make all the difference.

He used to play for Forest before joining Celtic.

We were linked with him before we bought Morgan

Top 6:

 

Reading

QPR

Forest

Leicester

Bolton

Wigan 

 

That above is assuming we achieve what I feel is our potential and that there are no long term injuries to Kasper or big Wes.  Injuries to either of these players for a month or more and I would put us around mid table.  I really believe they are that vital, any other losses we can work around.

Agree about Kasper and Wes although I think it will be just as vital James is injury free this season

I don't think I could take a play-off semi at Forest especially being away second. Cardiff & Udinese was one thing, but this would be absolute torture if we lost lol

A huge problem, I'm a big believer in what goes around comes around as well, they owe us one big after last year. :sweating:

 

Actual final would be even worse though.

I think we owed them after two of the scabbiest draws I've ever seen, the 2-2 games.

FourFourTwo have got us down as 8th.

Then again they've got Leeds in 3rd and Charlton in 4th.
