Is it possible for that many people to be on a collective wind up?

Leicester have had shed loads of good fortune this season. Not only all the dodgy pens awarded to them, the goal against Boro the other week when the ball went out of play, the goal against B'mouth on sat which didn't fookin cross the line. Us on the flip side have had no end of bad luck. It's got to change, surely?

 

 

That's right, like goalkeepers whose clearances hit our strikers in the face and rebound into the net.

 

Dodgy pens? Yeah, two slightly debatable.

 

Ball wasn't out.

 

Did cross the line.

 

Who is bothered about your no luck? You lost 3-0 at home to Yeovil.

Just for balance there are one or two who are posting using their brains.

 

 

 

Oh my goodness here we go again, they are 10 points clear and have a vastly superior goal difference to everyone else and you are surprised looking at their squad? confused.gif wtf!

Where of course our superior squad are lying 13th naughty.gif

Of course Football being what it is there is always a chance we can turn them over but please stop with this nonsense that we are in some way a better team than them, I cant see any other winner of the league right now! (by all means feel free to gloat should I prove wrong and they implode like in previous years but I really cant see it this time)

I would obviously like us to win but realistically I think it will be a win for Leicester (3-2), currently the best team in the Championship!

 

 

 

 

I think Leicester have done terrific this season. To recover so fast from the disappointment of the play offs like they did and to have the sort of season they're having...come on, let's be honest, we are all pig jealous..they've grown from their disappointments of last season whereas we've gone the other way. 

To me they're the opposite of us, in the sense that the sum of their parts is greater than the individual parts. Like them or loathe them, we have to look at them and learn lessons from how they are doing things. Ditto Cardiff and Hull last season.

That said, they can't go on winning every match..by the law of averages they have to drop points soon..we won there last season, let's give them a good match on Saturday and I think we have a good chance..

 

 

 

Apart from a few of the more sensible people on their forum there still seems to be some of their fans who really hate us and a lot of them seem to think this will be a walkover. I really don't get the hate thing from either side. I couldn't care less about Leicester or any other team in the league apart from when we play them. They're doing incredibly well and I'm actually pleased for their manager who generally comes across very well and I would certainly rather they went up than QPR. As for them giving us a thrashing, it could happen, I don't think it will, as apart from 30 minutes at Forest we've been decent at the back for a while now. It will certainly be a tough game but this league is so difficult to predict and despite their current position I don't see them as far and away the best team in the league.

 

 

 

What I find revealing, over and above the stupid (non) rivalry, is how Pearson has been left pretty much the same team as last season but has got them performing incredibly well. Dyche has done a similar job by keeping a relatively consistent team on a small squad. And yet Watford with an improved squad are currently struggling and a long way behind Leicester, when its fair to say we were a better team than them last season. 

I think there is a lot to be learnt from having faith with players and managers to improve and resolve their problems with their current set up, rather than being to eager to chop and change. 

I also think 'squad rotation' is over rated. Ronaldo and Messi play pretty much every game for their respective teams and seem to do alright.

I actually hope Leicester and Burnley go up as automatics, for this reason and also because Pearson is a true gent, who suffered constant calls for his head, and yet proved the doubters wrong. 

But also because Redknapp is like a spoilt fat kid in a sweet shop lock-in who still complains they dont have what he wants. For some reason Augustus Gloop comes to mind

 

For what it's worth, I am pretty baffled that a lot of them seem to think that their squad has been improved from last year, particularly when they have lost one of their 3 main men (Vydra), Abdi has been injured for much of the season and Deeney has blown hot and cold. Chalobah has also moved on. I don't see enough of them to comment further, but given their league position it seems unlikely that the players available to them this season are better than last.

 

We're 10 points clear for a reason and in all probability have already accrued more points than Watford will get all season. This is surely just another game.

It's the gift that keeps on giving. I feel sorry for the sensible poster who aren't calling us tinpot or predicting 4-0 Watford. Funnily enough they're the ones who are thick! lol

Fair enough predicting a Watford win, but calling us lucky when we're on almost double their points? Some of them need to educate themselves on something called 'common sense'.

I'm going for a 2-0. No way should we underestimate them, as we shouldn't underestimate any team, and I'm sure Nigel is thinking the same and telling this to our players. Despite the time I'm sure our players will be fired up to complete the double over them. Also, Nugent, Phillips tend to score against them and Knocky will be seriously up for scoring again. Just think we will have too much for them. Although I do feel they have individuals who can cause us problems e.g that Angella lad who scored vs Forest.

We'll probably line up 3 (or 5) at the back, three midfielders and then Forestieri roaming around wherever he wants to behind Deeney

 

Expecting Daniel Tozser, Alex Merkel to retain their places, and hopefully Fitz Hall too.

Looking forward to this! Can anyone tell me if you're allowed to bring a little rucksack to the KP?

You should be ok but bare in mind it may get searched.

People speak a lot about the impact of losing Vydra but what strikes me most about your team this season is the midfield. It really doesn't look as good as it did before to me, thought the Chalobah-Abdi-Hogg/Battocchio combination was very strong - I remember being quite concerned about how we'd go about dealing with them. Whereas now I don't see much to fear in that area.

 

Maybe I'm wrong to think this but I'd rather face you with Vydra back in the side than with your old midfield and wing back combination in place.

I think all Leicester fans are hoping that as well.

Ooh the irony lol

Not sure but I think that was another example of the WUMs you get on there/Twitter?

 

 

The player I do fear is Ikechi Anya. But only when he plays RWB.

Certainly our quickest and most direct player.

 

 It really doesn't look as good as it did before to me,

 

I think a vast majority would agree with that - you just need to look at the number of midfielders we've used!

Prediction is a 2-0 Leicester win, Nuge and Vardy with the goals. We cannot get complacent because Watford are still a decent side, but feel we can get the 3 points and a win for this one. :scarf:  COYF

Knockaert to score. I think he will make it a ritual to score every time he plays against these. Similar to Kermit always scoring against us.

 

Kermit's Kurse has been banished. It's written that Knockaert bags another blinder against WTFord though
