Match Thread Leicester City v The Mighty Blades (FA Cup 5th Round)

[Esablade]

Phew...this could get ‘interesting’....

 

[Caveblade]

Can only see a humping! Class should tell, 3 nil.will be a good result.

Now where that half empty glass of mine!

 

[BushBlade]

No Billy Sharp, Wilson and Donaldson up front. Surprising.

That's the bit that doesn't surprise me. We're probably going to have to hit them on the break and Wilson and Donaldson are the two most suited to that. Carruthers is the most surprising. I can only assume he's been training well and CW is prepared to give him another chance.
I was expecting Stearman to play and not both Lafferty and Stevens.
Heard on the radio Clarke is 'ill'.

 

[diode_blade]

6 players out, either cup tied or ill. Leon is one of the ill ones

 

[Woodwardfan]

I'm surprised Holmes is not playing and Carruthers is , otherwise much as expected. Stevens could do with a rest as would Basham.

I reckon Carruthers is a player but he comes in without match fitnes as does Lafferty. It's hard just to pick up the pace.

Chance for Wilson and Carruthers to show their pedigree.

 

[Harry's Game]

Sensible IMO

With Fleck suspended for the QPR game we can’t take too many risks with Duffy. Only complaint from me is we should not have let Thomas go out on loan, he would have been a better bet tonight than Caruthers.

Holmes is cuptied

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Seriously though that is a shock line up!

Used the lucky dip / bran tub method.

 

[LJBlade]

Reading this thread you have to wonder why we’re even bothering with this match tonight, we should have just given Leicester the win. We’ve obviously got no chance.

 

[Wards]

Holmes is cuptied

It’s almost as if people don’t/won’t/can’t read

 

[Come from away]

this all says the league is the priority and this is a chance for the reserves to show what they can do.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[snootyfenooty]

The changes I can understand except for one. Without Duffy we have no fucking chance.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Lafertys having a mare.

Not slating him though, he’s out of position and hasn’t played all season hardly

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Apart from that we are playing really well. Bash looks solid

 

[Harry's Game]

We have an important League game on Tuesday with no Fleck. I fully understand

 

[Blade58]

big unit like Lundy neshing out of tackles ffs

get stuck in lad

 

[Antonb]

doing fine so far

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Get Lafferty off waste of a shirt off and Wilson well he thinks he is in the park for a sunday stroll.

Good noise from fans.

 

[Davalon]

I know the priority is the league but it's still a bit sad that a club like United isn't having a real go in a 5th round FA Cup tie.

For once I agree with you.

Hope I end up with egg on my face.

Wilson is looking lively to me

 

[Antonb]

yep both have been the weak link so far.

Plenty of time for cup runs when we are established prem

 

[Antonb]

Wilson not defending from the front enough

 

[Antonb]

FFS get lafferty off

 

[Antonb]

Duffy on

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Lafferty get off you tit.

 

[Antonb]

This game is begging for duffy on, to get hold of the ball

 

[LJBlade]

Lafferty get off you tit.

Lafferty with an excellent tackle there.....I’m not sure you will have noticed.

 

[Danny_Boy]

Christ on a bike you lot are over critical. Away from home against a prem side drawing 0-0 and looking reasonable and we should be dragging him off, subbing one after 8 minutes. Chill out. I know Wilson has got some of your backs up with his interviews but he's doing okay, no worse than anyone else. Looks like Lunny is back to being the number scape goat as well. All fun and games.
