Leicester vs Shrewsbury League Cup 2nd round WC 25th August

[Hungry Hungry Fox]

Well it's okay for a start, good chance of getting into round three. Be interesting to see how many turn up, I can imagine Shrewsbury will bring a few down being their big day out and a short trip.

Shrewsbury isn't that close tbh

[davieG]

Win the League Cup and finish 17th I'll settle for that.

[The Doctor]

Home, winnable - I'll take that.

Leicester away! Quality draw and still a beatable team! #Awaydays

 

[Corky]

I think he's mixing up Leicester with Coventry.

[lgfualol]

I suppose they could beat us, if we field our under 21s.

[Dan]

To be fair it is full of freak results but other than that game against Burton we've generally handled these kinds of ties professionally.

[Fox42]

Great opportunity for the youth to prove themselves and get some experience below their belts.

[DennisNedry]

Decent chance of progression.

[ealingfox]

Should be looking to get into double figures here. Taylor-Fletcher and Hopper can fill their boots.

[veezeeblue]

Shame Youngy isnt commentating he could have banged on and on about 5-2, playing in goal etc etc

 

ooooo the memories .... woz there

[Brooksy]

If it's anything like that Burton debacle it'll be a right laugh.

[Harry - LCFC]

Should be an easy route through if approached properly. I know people want exciting games but there's not much to complain about IMO. The games I really want to see are those later in the competition. Leave Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal 'til then.

[MC Prussian]

On paper, we should be winning this. However, cup rules apply so we ought to be aware of the Shrews.

I wouldn't take this game too lightly.

Then again, Premier League survival comes before cup success.

 

Hope a few of the youngsters will make an appearance to amass some matchday experience.

[Population-1]

Wesolowski back.

[Bayfox]

can we offer to play it at their place. a ground I still need to do.

[DennisNedry]

We need to take them seriously, we don't want to look like mugs like we did against Burton.

 

For me this season we should have a lot more interest in both cups.

[surrifox]

Wesolowski back.

did I miss something ? where has he gone?

[ealingfox]

Not Marcin Wasilewski.

 

James Wesolowski, injury-prone midfielder who used to play for us.

[Fox92]

Decent enough draw. Gives us chance to progress, which I want really for a decent Cup run.

[filbertway]

Not Marcin Wasilewski.

 

James Wesolowski, injury-prone midfielder who used to play for us.

 

Bit of a harsh assessment of a lad who looked a class above any of our other midfielders at 17, until Balde smashed his leg!

[Manwell Pablo]

Not Marcin Wasilewski.

 

James Wesolowski, injury-prone midfielder who used to play for us.

 

Was he particularly injury prone? He broke his leg which affected his career massively, aside from that he was hardly out every other week from what I remember. Played a decent amount of games in 06-07 & 07-08 considering he had to fight for his place.

[MrSpaM]

Must win!

[Dan]

Did he not break his leg on two different occasions? It might've even been three actually.

 

He could've genuinely been a very decent player IMO but we'll never know.

Yes but he'd hardly played for us when he did it the second time and hadn't even made his debut the first time. Once he got fit he was fairly reliable.
