Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Leicester

[CopenhagenBlade]

“Sheffield have looked solid at the back but without any real spark. They make mistakes so we need to press them from the first minute. High and hard press and we come away with a 3 or 4 goal victory.”

Errr, no you don't.

“I could see us having about 83% possession for this game, not including counter attacks.”

Errr, no you won't.

But why not include counter attacks?. Do they not count as possession??

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy. Pretty fair comments on the whole, though the nobber who thought we wouldn't get a single player in a combined XI is in cloud cuckoo land.

 

[Roygbiv]

Good comments, but they one about Bournemouth being punished for not finishing us off is bollocks. The only shot they had after taking the lead was the non-free kick in the last min.

Yeah I have no idea what this comment was based on. I think they had 2 shots on target

 

[S40BLADE]

The most insulting thing in there is the casual comparison with Nigel Pearson despite it being used in a complimentary way. Get tae fuck!

 

[snb69]

Working in an office full of Leicester fans, I'd say the comments (mostly) reflect their view - it'll be a tough game for them, but they would hope to get a win.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuff weird one

 

[SB_90]

“Hard working team and theyll rely on that more than anything. Palace were pathetic though so its not a great barometer. We should win”

“I felt they made Palace look poor, which is more than we’ve managed in the past 2 seasons. This game will be a slog, make no mistake.”

its going to be a tough game id be delighted with a point now, & thought that majority are quite normal must be less nutters in Leicester. but the above quotes are good points, researching that point you find that surprisingly Crystal Palace are unbeaten in 5 v Leicester, as last time Leicester beat Palace was 22nd oct 2016 when we were drawing 3-3 away to bradford

 

[PokerBlade]

Generally fair comments aside from comparing us to a Warnock side. Teams like Leicester should be confident of beating us and they should feel like they have better players. It's all on us to show them they're wrong, same as when we came to the Championship.

 

[I should coco]

What is wrong with them?

Too many reasonable comments, just one 'Sheffield' and nobody saying "I've always preferred Wednesday".

They need to give their heads a wobble and learn to give some proper abuse.

 

[Bobby b]

We remind them of themselves when they came up except they had the quality of muzzy and Emile?
What, the same Emile who's idea of controlling the ball was to wait till it stopped bouncing,
Pretty nice comments though

 

[Addison]

Having read their forum I more concerned that that nearly 3,000 Leicester fans are coming with the express intent of drinking the city dry. Boozers must be crap down there. Better get in pubs early

 

[Boxer Blade]

Very fair and reasonable comments but some git who hasn't seen us for 10 years has to chuck in 'physical'

 

[TaipeiBlade]

Im disappointed theyre not more dismissive. I like when they call us a bunch of useless, flat cap wearing, 6 fingered cunts who will finish rock bottom.

It makes it more satisfying when we get something.

closest we got to Wednesday comments was the quote "but i’d be disappointed if we lose to a team with David McGoldrick and Billy Sharp up top" I remember Wednesday saying that before we beat them 4-2

 

[fireblade]

Cheers Roy.
Fair enough comments on the whole.
Reading through, my thoughts were, Maddison should get a hounding from the crowd because of his antics for Norwich, so should Vardy for obvious reasons.
Harvey Barnes worries me a bit, hope he doesn't start.

Only they didn't as McG didn't play for us then ;-)

 

[Sheffsteel]

Fair and balance comments for a change.

It will be interesting to see the post match comments.
I predict that on Saturday it’s going to be one of Leicesters worse performances in many years,

 

[SB_90]

well yeah you have replace Clarke for McGoldrick

 

[Bladey]

I love that in pretty much every View-from I read - I see "Billy Sharp always scores against us"

 

[The Crab]

Established premier side, former champions. Of course on paper they should have a better side player for player and for me this is our hardest game so far.

But if they get complacent, they can be got at.

[Pierre's PC]

The Cardiff comment came from Palace rather than Leicester. L2Read ffs

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy

 

[S64 Blade]

Decent comments on the whole, to be fair. Tomorrow is our hardest game so far this season and one which we may well lose. A draw would be a very good result at this moment in time.

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Thanks, Royster
They seem to be a knowledgable bunch, if that is fully representative. Wary but confident - as you should expect with the quality they have in the squad.
Not sure about them running out 3-4 winners but this will be a real test for our lads, tomorrow.
Looking forrard to it.

Like the fact that none of our lads would get into their team
Let’s see the post match view from tomorrow, then

Leicester lose - they had an "off day". Utd were nothing special.
Leicester win - that was a really good win for Leicester against a very well organised Utd side who look to have enough to stay up this season. No one will enjoy going to Bramall Lane.

My personal view is that I'll be quite impressed if we get something tomorrow. They'll be a very tough test (as pretty much we all agree) but I think we are capable of holding our own, and possibly more.
I like the fact that with have been cautious in both matches so far and gradually grown in confidence as we realise we can compete. It would have been barmy to go gung ho from the start in either match as, if we'd been caught out it could easily have knocked any confidence out of the team which is now (hopefully) beginning to build nicely.
2-2

 

[Tezza1889]

They’ve got a Harry maguire shaped hole which JOC can fill with his eyes shut..

Keep on playing us down lads.. we’ll see you Saturday ...

 

[Charlieblade]

Cheers Roy. On the whole, not too bad, just enough delusion and complacency to think a few Leicester fans will go home sad tomorrow.
Love it when people underestimate us, or just don't follow football properly.
These are one of the sides that we aspire to emulate in terms of regular, solid top ten teams in a few years time. Another win this weekend and maybe that aspiration will come early.

100% agree

[SittingontheBall]

Generally well-balanced set of comments.
Not what I expected based on the Leicester fan I know locally who has a seriously entitled attitude since they won the league.
Many thanks, Roy.
