Guest Bilo Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 The confidence is returning to the team and we could, if results go our way next weekend, get ourselves out of the relegation zone with a win. Incredible stuff really given where we were less than a month ago. Anyway, what should our team be? I'd go with: Hamer Simpson Morgan © Wasilewski Konchesky Albrighton Drinkwater Cambiasso Knockaert Nugent Kramaric Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, King, Ulloa, Moore, Vardy, Lawrence
RowlattsFox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 I expect Kramaric to be on the bench. King for James.
Guest Bilo Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 I expect Kramaric to be on the bench. King for James. Depends on when his work permit is sorted for me. If it's sorted early in the week, I think he'll start. Otherwise, he'll have a sub's role.

But if deal is complete for Stoke think Kramaric will still start on the bench, NP doesn't often change a winning side or throw a new signing straight in. I think Stoke won't be the right game for Kramaric as Stoke our known for being a physical side and I'm sure I read somewhere that Kramaric is little weak- I'm sure we will be working on his strength straight the way. Confidence is high so every chance of getting a result, would love to see another 1-0 as think it's pretty realistic score line
Mark_w Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Hamer Simpson Morgan Wasilewski Konchesky Albrighton King Hammond (If not Cambiasso, if not Drinkwater, if not Lawrence) Knockaert Nugent Ulloa I'd bring Kramaric on off the bench if he's available, Ulloa and Nugent is working fairly well as a partnership as it did at the start of the season, no need to change it quite yet.
mugshot Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Difference between 20th and 15th now just 3 points...win at Stoke and if other results go our way (Hull/QPR/Sunderland lose and Burnely/Palace draw) we could be at the lofty heights of 16th! Todays match was important to keep us within distance, now Stoke is important to keep momentum.
fox766 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 If Kramaric is fit and available would start him with and Ulloa thinking of heskey/cottee style partnership only better
Renart Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 We need to pick up points where we can and now (hopefully this will continue against Stoke). After this we have a tough run coming up: Man U (A) Palace (H) Arsenal (A) Everton (A) Chelsea (H) Man City (H) I cannot see us winning any of those, except Palace! Our tails are up and wagging but we could find ourselves adrift once again after that run of fixtures (but this time by losing games that we are expected to lose). However, if we can stay within reach after these games (by beating Stoke and beating Palace and maybe getting a point-or-two elsewhere) then I think we have a really good chance as our run in from Hull (H) onward, is really not bad at all!
RedSoxUK Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 I thought Villa was our best performance since United, another clean sheet (great) another deserved win, and with Mahrez/Schlupp out, I think Albrighton really stepped up on the right and deputised well. With Albrighton's crossing, i'd go with Kramaric starting instead of Nugent, with both Ulloa's height, and Kramaric's right place / right time, we should look comfy in attack. Nugent did well, but go with our strongest 11.
Foxymcoxy Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Kramaric hasn't played for a month there is no way Pearson starts him.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Next couple of games have the possibility to be hard. Hopefully we can still continue this good run and pick up points. Although Kramaric could be available, I think we need to introduce him into the side gently. My team line up for City - Stoke is: Hamer Simpson Wasyl Morgan Konchesky Knockaert King Cambiasso (if fit) Albrighton Nugent Ulloa SUBS: Schwarzer, Moore, Kramaric, Drinkwater, Lawrence, Wood/Vardy, De Laet.
lgfualol Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Same team. But King for James. As Ulloa is the top scorer I think we have to start him. Kramaric to come off the bench and set a goal up.
tripe Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Play like today and three points are staying in Leicester. I'd play the same first 11 as today, just Cambiasso instead of James. Kramaric off the bench if needed. Hamer Simpson Morgan © Wasilewski Konchesky Albrighton Hammond Cambiasso Knockaert Nugent Ulloa
FireFox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Difference between 20th and 15th now just 3 points...win at Stoke and if other results go our way (Hull/QPR/Sunderland lose and Burnely/Palace draw) we could be at the lofty heights of 16th! Todays match was important to keep us within distance, now Stoke is important to keep momentum. With a Burnely/Palace draw we'd only be 17th. Only with a Palace win (unless Burnley and/or us score like crazy) would we end up in 16th. (Though some might consider a draw between them to be more preferable... imo no though, since I think Palace will stay up, so I think it is best if Palace takes all 3.) Burnley also have that cup match Wednsday, so that'll hopefully cause them some problems recovering. Also QPR could technically draw, and we'd still be above them.

Burnley, Hull and QPR are by far the worse teams in the league. WBA could go down if they sell Berahino. The Stoke game is a big one. Great form in the last three games must be capitalised with another win. It will show the rest that have already written LCFC off. It won't be easy though. Never liked Stoke. A hard hitting team.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Hard game this would love a repeat of result at their place. I'll say 2-1 win but really expect one all. They're decent
The Year Of The Fox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 We need more pace than yesterday, particularly at home. Simpsons done nothing wrong at all but I just feel De Laets as good a defender yet offers more going forward. Without Mahrez and Schlupp we looked slow to break yesterday despite Nugent and Vardy not being the slowest. It's probably the only (unforced) change I'd make
Guest ttfn Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Hard game this would love a repeat of result at their place. I'll say 2-1 win but really expect one all. They're decent Agree with this. They're a good side away from home. Both us and them are better on the counter attack, so I can see it being pretty cagey.
foxfanazer Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 A couple of injuries or red cards today wouldn't go a miss
Number 6 Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 A couple of injuries or red cards today wouldn't go a miss Biram Diouf at AFCON. Bojan capable of being brilliant and Crouch likes the ground! Think it'll be their set pieces which could undo us though.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Tough tough game Hopefully 2-1 to Leicester Kram the man to feature
KFS Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 This is going to be a tough one for sure. Hamer Simmo Wasyl Wes Konch Drinkwater Cambiasso Albrighton Nugent Knockert Ulloa Kramaric to come on for Nugent at some stage.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Come on win this and it will be 10 points out of a possible 12 ! (Hull, Liverpool, Villa and Stoke) i said i would have taken 6 or 7 before these games!

I think it's his type of match.
