Surprised he's stuck with king after he played and travelled to Andorra mid-week especially with cambiasso / drinky presumably being fitter. Unsure whether that midfield will do well against a physical team like Stoke

Can see Vardy/Cambiasso coming on around the hour mark, possibly with Drinky as well. Fantastic bench that is, and that's without Powell/Lawrence as well. Surprised Simpson isn't there though.

 

might be far too late,

 

I know Hammond has done a job but to start him in front of one of our best ever signings who is now fit to play, really

He did for Charlton and they were relegated

Confused by when you think this happened.

Just because your name is Cambiasso doesn't mean your granted an instant 1st team spot, people need to get over that. You have to earn your place in the first team, and in Nige's opinion he hasn't done that, whereas King and Hammond have. They dealt well with Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal and there's no reason why they can't cope with Stoke.

King and Hammond seem to play better together than with another midfielder, Pearson will probably wait until next week and bring Drinkwater and James back as a pair.

 

Hamer's got a great chance and I hope he takes it to put pressure on Kasper.

That depends what happens between now and 5pm corky. if king and Hammond do well and we get a result of some kind then he won't change things

I could see an argument for dropping Hammond as he struggled in the last game, you'd be hard pushed to drop King who's been very influential so far. I thought he'd bring Drinkwater back in today but then he'd probably go with Hammond next to him.

 

To be honest I think even Nige has been surprised with how well the back up CMs have done. It's striking that balance between bringing in your best players who've had injuries and little game time or keeping on form players in the side. Hopefully NP has got it right today but I would like our best CM pairing back in the side asap.

 

Nugent needs to play well today with Vardy raring to take his place.

So long as they are playing well no problem with them keeping their place.

You want players pushing themselves to the limit to get in the team and to stay in it. Bad man management wise to sack them off as soon as certain players come back into contention, as they then know no matter how well they play they will never get into or stay in the team.

If they don't perform then you integrate others back in.

Any radio streams for this (Liam??) am at the arse end of the country today so can't make the game or listen to radio Leicester...

Cheers

Hamer to drop one into his own net, Knockaert to come off bench and score equaliser. 

 

Shows strength in depth, Hammond & King I'm happy to continue with them, Hammond wasn't great against Arsenal but wasn't bad either. 

 

Tough game, Stoke having Bojan, Moses, Walters & Crouch starting, with Arnautovic, Assaidi & Diouf to come off the bench is a pretty scary thought, but let's see how it goes would be happy with another point.

The midfield did well for 60 minutes against Chelsea away.Stoke will be a physical test,unlike at Stamford Bridge we have 2 quality midfielders to bring on.

NP shows loyalty to players who perform well.While we are all eager to see the new signings perform,despite disrupted training with internationals away,NP will have seen how those around have integrated.I have faith in he and his team ,they will have carefully analysed how Stoke set up and how we are likely to get the best result.

I won't be surprised to see 0-0 at half-time,a few changes 2nd half,hopefully nick a result.
