Haha, I wish! But it won't be like that. You have to remember our form at home isn't much better than your away form! In results anyway. Plus Fryatt is suspended. But we need to win this, we have the strongest defence in the league so hopefully you won't score. Promising thing for us is that, if we keep a clean sheet we should win, your defence isn't the greatest away from SMS is it? 1-0 to Leicester. Possibly 1-1

Our defence isn't great at st marys, let alone away from home!!
We usuallly score alot of goals but have only scored one in five, so hopefully we can get back to scoring ways... I'd take a point, with regards to our current predicament!

Scrap my optimism! Carl Cort's come back from injury and given the striker shortage we have, he'll no doubt be leading the front line. He's been pretty cack this season. We've not conceded in 2, have the best defence in the league so I hope we can stop you scoring, because if you score twice, we will lose.

Players to watch out for from Leicester Rich:
Fulop (goalkeeper) - has performed miracles for us so far.
Sheehan (leftback) - superb set pieces
Kisnorbo (centreback) - good header of the ball in defence and attack. Distribution a bit dodgy though.
Hume (striker) - will run around a lot and doesn't get many shots, but will normally hits the target.
Wesolowski - powerhouse in midfield.

Tbh Crystal palace, preston and sheffield wednesday all claimed they can't score and ended up scoring 4,5 and 5 goals against us, respectively. Can't wait to give Mandaric some stick ;D

I'll be disappointed if we don't stick 5 past you then! No, not really mate, 1-0 would suffice.
I hope you lot come up with something inventive and make me laugh! You've got a good story to work from! ;D

Defensive Worry... Claus Lundekvam, Chris Makin, Darren Powell, Alexander Ostlund all still Injured. Christian Dailly has returned to west ham cos we couldnt afford to keep him on loan. Our best Defender Wayne Thomas is out now too after missing tuesday night also. Jhon Viafara who played centre back that night is now a doubt too with a back problem. This leaves us with Andrew Davies at centre back who is ok, and Alan Bennett (on loan from reading, played two matches so far, very shit) along side him. I'll stand by my 4-0 loss prediction

Rich you might be crap but your not that bad! Our striker situation is: Hume - fit Cort - fit Fryatt - suspended Campbell - injured John - injured A Chambers - injured Gradel - on loan to Bournemouth De Vries - on loan to Leeds Dodds - on loan to Lincoln We don't have any...I was surprised to read that Chambers is injured, he may make the bench but he's only about 16! Carl Cort will start but he has been utter wank so far so I'll not expect too much, unless he for some reason acts like he gives a damn under Ollie. We'll see! Hume is hardly a goal scoring machine either....ideally he plays best just behind the lead striker. enjoy the game but not the result!

Really pissed off today. I'll focus on Ollie's comments after the game. Ollie seriously laid into the fans for a long time in his post match interview for getting on the back of Carl Cort (booing, cheering when subbed and just general abuse). I won't boo or jeer anyone but I was livid when he failed to shoot given the (rare) opportunity and passed to a saints defender. Now essentially Ollie is right, it doesn't help Cort's confidence and certainly doesn't help the team win a game of football. He is being made a scapegoat for an overall poor team performance and there were other individuals in the team who were just as bad....Clemence (most overrated player in the championship surely), Stearman, Newton and Kis spring to mind. Hume runs around like a headless chicken and Cort doesn't but the overall product from the two is very similar - essentially very little. I think Leicester as a club and fanbase are far from unique in getting on the back of teams when they aren't doing well but it is by no means helpful and will achieve nothing. The 2 people behind me gave up and went home on 27 minutes. Ollie will get the most out of the players if we're united but I think criticising the fans so early is a risky strategy. You pay your money and you takes your choice really surely. Ollie didn't mention in the interview that today's all round performance was absolutely dire (regardless of a dodgy penalty decision). We were poor at the back and created sod all....there was no urgency....nothing and we looked clueless....deserved to lose. If the effort is there...then I think the fans will get behind the players....as shown in the Cardiff game but when there is so little endeavour I'm inclined not to give too much stick to groups of people who turn up in large numbers week in week out, spending at least £23 for an adult ticket for an attrociously bad product. Our home record this season: Won two Drawn two Lost FOUR Totally abysmal and not a new phenomenon, it isn't any wonder the fans get restless easy. We have injuries at the minute...but we have the players to beat any team in this league on our day and when teams out of form like Cardiff or Southampton who are more leaky than a fucking colander come to OUR ground and we play so sterilely, creating nothing from open play...and get 1 point from the 2 games, its not frankly good enough and the senior players at the club...like Clemence and Cort and Kisnorbo have to take a decent share of responsibility, thus removing pressure from younger players. Sappleton and Chambers are not ready for the first time and its harsh to thrust them into a game like this, and volatile atmosphere because the 'pros' aren't doing the job. Anyway, enough moaning from me...hopefully the pressure will be off away from home Tuesday, we get a good result and please come out and play with confidence and enthusiasm on Saturday and if that happens, hopefully the fans will get behind the team and we'll do well. As a side note, a superb goal from Andy King, serves all the people who left early for half time right. A much longer rant than intended. Player ratings: Fulop 6 dodgy kicking Stearman 5 Kisnorbo 5 McAuley 5 Sheehan 6 set pieces are only saviour again Newton 4 Clemence 4 King 5.5 Hayes 5.5 Hume 5 Cort 4 And the ref was a right pillock.

I saw us win away for the like the first time in two months! ;D We completely Outplayed Leicester today, which wasn't hard cos they were crap. The Penalty was contentious though. Chants about your really fat drummer and your chairman, were very funny too.

See you need more confidence, especially when you're coming up against complete crap! Winning feeling a good one to have again?
I thought you looked the most competent team to come to the Walkers this season...but I'm not sure how much that is down to how bad we were.
Haven't seen it, Ollie was fuming on SSN about it. Saying it was accidental and out of the area anyway. I was the other side of the ground so ain't really got a clue.
Lee Jobbers...he's a bit of a legend...a Mummy's boy but has good natured banter with the away fans.

Well he is a very big guy. His whole body is covered in Leicester tattoos....was he topless today...it was a bit cold! I want to see that again, doubt that they'll show it on the championship but one of my mates was in line with it and thought it was onside. Maybe these things even themselves out with the penalty. I saw the flag quite early...and it was quite funny to watch the away fans going mental for ages towards the home fans to your left before they realised it had been disallowed. ;D King's goal was pretty sweet though, yeah? Thoroughly undeserved at the end of the first half...shame we couldn't build on it! And how did Hume miss that 1 on 1 and then Newton miss the open goal follow up!?

Im sure he has enough insulation I looked up and it wasnt up so i started going mental, i was in the last seat before the segregation next to the stand with fatty drummer and was really giving some and then my mate punched me in the arm and pointed to the flag Yeah was a lovely strike, we never close down long range shots Yeah i thought hume's chance was going to score, was a good save. Though i thought we passed quite well, which were nice to see. I noticed one of the sponsor banners around the edge of the stadium was called 'Smeg' i thought that was funny ;D
