Very curious what's our midfield is gonna look like. Fleck is probably 100% fit, but we played so well with Ozzy, so i'm leaning towards just keeping it the way it was against Chelsea.

Can’t drop a player that’s in great form. If it’s not working then we look to bring Fleck on.

No surprises. Fleck back on the bench in place of Rodwell.

 

[Balham Blade]

First (and only) league opposition to have had less rest than us from their previous game. Whether that will make any difference remains to be seen.

 

[VwBlade]

Is it Luke Freeman or Zivko on the bench?

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Zivko on the bench

 

[ScottishBlade93]

Looking at that leicester back 3 I really fancy Moussett or zivkovic to come off the bench and do some damage. That 3 at back for leicester are all slower than a week in jail.

Who is Luke Thomas at LWB?

Is that George Hirst on their bench the one that Leicester’s Belgian team stole from Wednesday?

 

[Bladesman98]

Need to take advantage of them having key players out

The one and the same

They will be crying on their tea plates over on Owlstalk

The very same. Seems he and Thomas have been included due to their mini injury crisis. Senior debut for Thomas.

They signed him on the quiet didn’t they? I didn’t even hear he had moved from Belgium

Why the f*ck is Everton Villa the main event on sky sports btw?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Got a bad feeling about this one.

Leicester 3-1 Blades

Got a bad feeling about the bad feeling you got about this one. Leicester 1 Blades 3.

I wonder why you asked that when the team sheet was posted in full above, including the subs?

Are you viewing this forum by radio?

 

[Bobby b]

15 minutes to go and sky sports are still talking about a game that played last night, ffs

[FriethBlade]

Let's hope we can keep them out these first 20 mins as they r well on top

 

[shrubbery]

Really sloppy start. Enda, Sander, Bash and Norwood all guilty of giving the ball away without any real pressure. One of the resulting counter attacks is going to end in a goal if it continues.

 

[Kryten]

Foxes not short of confidence today, lads need to pretend theyre playing Chelsea instead!

 

[shrubbery]

Why the fuck are we standing so far off them and giving so much space?

 

[Blackestnite]

Henderson keeping us in it.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Same fucking ref combination as at Villa Park

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

They’re really up for it which we could have expected, need to stay in the game and take our chances when they come

 

[Mojo]

Why does lino keep giving offside when we are level. I thought they were supposed to keep the flag down on marginal calls?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Quite happy for us to still be level here – we haven’t started well, quite sloppy on the ball and the break has come at a decent time. But we’ve weathered those scares and hopefully can kick on.

On a different note, can the officials make their fucking minds up on whether they should keep their flag down on marginal calls and allow VAR to decide, or not? That McGoldrick offside was ridiculous to flag for.
