only two things can happen here. we destroy them, or jamie vardy shithouses a late winner.

 

[blade too long]

They didn't look too scary today at Bournemouth

 

[Greg.]

Soyuncu being banned is good - he's played in every single game bar 1 for them this season - not sure who comes in for him, maybe Wes Morgan?!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Referee: Michael Oliver

Oh.

 

[HammerInPeace]

Before yesterday's Bournemouth match, I was going to say that this was going to be your hardest match left.
After Leicesters performance, I genuinely don't know what to say now.
They can't play that bad again, shirley?

 

[HammerInPeace]

Oh.

And a c*nt asleep in the VAR room..

Surely not shirley.
Shirley who?
Love your posts. Be a shame if your lot go down on goal difference.

 

[SherburnBlade]

So, barring the 4th official it's exactly the same officials as it was for the Aston Villa game even down to the VAR assistant!

I bet they double check the GLT before kick off...

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

So, who replaces Basham if he's out?

Jagielka or Rodwell?

They will revert to a back 4 and it'll be Evans/Bennett I think.

Jagielka or Rodwell?

A difficult call that, but I think Wilder probably goes with Rodwell. The Jagielka sub made plenty of sense on Saturday – we had a decent lead, and while obviously we added to it with Jags on the pitch the focus was more on continuing to restrict Chelsea following their own changes. He had similar cameos earlier in the season coming on at RCB. He’s fine at the defensive responsibilities in that role.

For this game though, where we’ll be wanting to have more than just defending in the role, I think Wilder would go with Rodwell if Bash is unavailable.

Totally agree with all that.

I also suspect Rodwell has a bit more pace than Jagielka which against Leicesters attack will be useful.

He was talking to me - it's my weekend name .

Whats it matter?if the ref is to idle to go pitch side and look at the monitor whats the point in having it?

 

[FatPaul]

16th!! Am I in the right thread?

Should be an interesting match, given the result for Man U this evening.

 

[S40BLADE]

Hope we play in the neon for sentimental purposes. Fucking shitting it this match is fucking gargantuan.

Let's hope we see some of that defending, lol.
Alas, they are probably going to be totally fired up for this - they need to make amends for the last game, and they can't afford to drop points with Manure breathing down their necks.
But we will contain them regardless. Egan will have Vardy in his back pocket

 

[1066blade]

Beware the backlash. Heard quotes from senior players and their manager stating huge lessons need to be learned following the embarrassing performance at Bournemouth. They’ve done us no favours with this drubbing on my opinion, Leicester will come out eagerly striving to put matters right, with none of the sloppy complacencies that were evident in their last match.

 

[Yan The Man]

Got some good friends who are Leicester fans hope we rub their noses in it even more

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

CWs press cconference. Get back in your basket

Could imagine CW selling these for a living.

Very tough game. Leicester are going to want a result from this match.

a) To get over the Bournemouth result
b) They don't want to loose their top 4 spot


Vardy will be up for this. I'm a little bit worried.

 

[What the Hecky]

You know what I don't think we will win this, but this team

That is going to be an absolute goldmine for the No Context Chris Wilder account on twitter.

 

[Flumps]

As mentioned previous I think it's likely they're going to come out absolutely swinging. A strong coordinated defence and an early goal would knock the wind out of their sales I reckon. Could be quite a few opportunities to counter if they come out all blazing

 

[KOPPO]

...i predict a positive attacking display by the mighty blades & we contain vardy & win the foxes 3.0 & in form striker didzy gets a fantastico hatrick ...ive got a feeling we will hammer them away match ...job done...3 points in the bag ..utb ..forza blades ..

 

[ScottishBlade93]

Let’s be honest we would all of bitten the persons hand off if we were offered this at the start of season. What an unreal position to be in. Let’s just enjoy the ride we’ve come this far of course we all want the prize at the end but whatever happens these lads have been absolute class

 

[KOPPO]

they was very poor in there last match ...if we take a early lead.. I cant see no way back for the foxes ...we will be positive and dominate the match and win 3.0 ...didzy will get 3 goals how about that then ...Jamie vardy will be man marked ...job done ...utb
