Father Ted Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 I'm sure everyone is buzzing and we couldn't be going into this game feeling any higher. A perfect opportunity to give some kind of revenge for that horrible moment in May. I would go with: Schmeichel Moore - Wasilewski - Morgan - Miquel (if Konch is injured) Hammond - King Knockaert - Drinkwater - Dyer Vardy Subs: Logan, Schlupp, St.Ledger, James, Nugent, Wood, GTF. We cannot afford to go away and play 4 across the middle again. Play 5 but with DD in an advanced role, also giving the wingers slightly more freedom. Hammond and King sitting will provide a shield for the back 4 and stop any counter attacking whilst being key in retaining possession. Four big units at the back gives us an opportunity to really exploit Watford on set pieces. COYF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Not to bothered about 'revenge'. We had the chance and messed it up. Does it matter now? Well, no. It's a new season, and both clubs are in the same division. Of course the build up is going to massive by the media, but as Hammond said post match tonight, it's a new season and what happened last season is in the past. I think Nigel is put in a difficult position now given the performances of certain players tonight, that's probably a good thing actually. Not sure if I'm honest, probably go with the same team that beat Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Hope the lads are up for this one, confidence is high and revenge for the playoffs must be motivation enough to beat these. Cannot stand Watford, and really hope we can beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 I'm almost certain he'll go back to 442 with just King and Drinky in the middle which doesn't work at most places nevermind Watford. We need to toughen up away from home, it's our biggest weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Same team that played against Bournemouth. Wood was fantastic tonight but Nuge and Vardy don't deserve to be dropped Hate Watford more than most teams now so would love to shut them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Schmeichel Moore - Morgan - Wasilewski - Konchesky Knockaert - Hammond - Drinkwater - Dyer Wood - Vardy Subs - Logan, Miquel, Schlupp, James, King, GTF, Nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 He will go 3-5-2 for this and match them, I'm almost positive that's the only reason he got the squad comfortable with playing it as we couldn't do the business against them playing 4-4-2 or 4-3-3/4-5-1. Schmeichel Wasilewski Morgan Miquel Moore Schlupp Drinkwater King Knockaert Vardy Nugent Subs: Logan, St Ledger, Hammond, James, Dyer, Wood, GTF, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLM Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Confidence and morale will be high. On paper Watford don't even look all that good, and after watching them against Brighton they weren't solid or convincing at all. Nigel will get it right no doubt, and I have a feeling Knocky will teach them a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 Can see us playing 352 in this one. But Id go for.... Kasper Moore Waso Morgan Konch (Miquel or Schlupp) Knocky King DD Dyer Nugent Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjslcfc Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 People talk about the past being in the past but.... The way it happened. The way they celebrated. The arrogance some of their fans showed last season. We need to beat these. I'm sure the squad doesn't need any more motivation and I'm also sure that everyone involved with the club will be up for this. Come on boys!

Kitchandro Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 A win here and we'd be 10 points clear of them, right? Will be a difficult game. A draw wouldn't be the end of the world but I'd like to stay in the top 2, especially the way we are playing and the form we're in. We know what they're going to be like, very dangerous going forward but dodgy at the back. If we get at them early they might have an off day, they're the kind of team that are always capable of not turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lc4lcfc Posted 29 October 2013 Share Posted 29 October 2013 What a lovely problem. None of the Bournemouth players deserve to be dropped but the lads from tonight definitely don't either. I'd go 433 again Schmeichel Moore Was Morgan Konchesky (Miguel) if injured Drinky Hammond King Knockaert Wood Vardy Bench picks itself from the players missing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADK Posted 30 October 2013 Share Posted 30 October 2013 I don't think 4-4-2 would be wise. Tempted to say 4-3-3/ 4-5-1 maybe 3-5-2 to match them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 30 October 2013 Share Posted 30 October 2013 Don't give a shit if anyone agrees with me but I'd match them 352 and be buzzing for a point at Watford considering our recent record against them, our recent record there and the fact it would keep momentum going.

Kitchandro Posted 30 October 2013 Share Posted 30 October 2013 Leicester are a team better off playing their own game. We have to be positive if we want a draw or a win. Sitting back and holding does us no favours, neither does surrendering our attacking threat and giving ourselves no outlet. We've made mistakes by sitting back and going negative this season, let's just stick to what we're good at: Keeping the ball and making players available at all times. Self-belief is the key, we know we can pass the ball and attack well so we've no reason to be afraid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W LCFC Posted 30 October 2013 Share Posted 30 October 2013 I'd go with the same formation as the Fulham game. Something like this: Schmeichel Moore - Morgan - Wasi - Konch/Schlupp Hammond - Drinky Knockaert - King ---- Dyer Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishOxide Posted 30 October 2013 Share Posted 30 October 2013 I actually like the look of the team in in original post. Gives us an attacking edge whilst also retaining some stiffness in midfield which we need away from home. 4-4-2 is a bit risky against Watford as on their day they are good going forward and the last thing we need is an open game. Ill take a point away right now. If not then 1-0 to us. Its about time we racked up some clean sheets is all im saying. We are going to come up against a side that can outscore us sooner or later, i've a horrible feeling it will be them if we don't keep it tight. Alot depends on whether Konchesky is fit, he is in great form at the minute. Im still not sold on Schluup at LB. He leaves too much space to counter and doesn't mark players tight enough.
