The Enormous Turnip Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I saw Leicester on sky a few weeks back, getting back to back wins away at Reading and then QPR, and they remind me a lot of us in our first year back up in the Championship. Fearless attacking play, catching the opposition off guard and sneaking the 3 points. Okay so they got a hiding up at Forest on saturday but I'm sure we all remember the results we had up at West Brom and Ipswich 2 years ago and the way in which we usually bounced back the game after - can see Leicester doing just that tonight. Something needs to change with City's formation, the lack of width and cutting edge is frightening, but maybe we won't see any real change until January. I can quite easily see GJ setting us up defensively to try and get a point tonight. A few stats - Neither City nor Leicester have set the world on fire with goals this season, 22 each, with 2 top scorers in Fryatt and Maynard on 9 a piece. Leicester's home record this season is impressive, winning 5, but they've only scored 11 in their 9 home games which isn't that special. We've only ever won 3 league games at Leicester - the last time was in 1915 when we got a 3-1 win. More recently, we only took a point off them two season ago after we lost 2-0 at AG in Holloway's first game in charge and got hammered 0-0 at the Walkers. 350 tickets sold by us so far, not good even for a midweek game when we're playing as poorly as we are. Does this reflect the confidence the fans have in the team at the moment? Thoughts on today's game then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I like the couple of predictions for City to hammer in 3 tonight, that could have been me on a more optimistic day. I'd be delighted but amazed if we whacked in a treble because City have only managed that feat 3 times in the last 50 League games and 7 times in the last 100. Three away goals tonight would be a pleasant shock to rival the Watford away game last Boxing Day. I can't see any goals for City tonight I'm afraid, but one, probably plus a late second for Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobcfc1 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm absolutely stunned by the amount of posters that think we will win tonight! There isn't a chance of that happening in my opinion because Leicester haven't shipped in many goals so far and I think their defeat to Forest was just one of those days. I've got a feeling the only way we could possibly take something from the game would be to let Haynes and Maynard run at Brown who is Leicester's equivalent of McCombe.

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 More than likely right; but allow me a bit of hope, for a few mins anyway I can't help feeling pessimistic for tonight glos, just being honest, but when the match actually kicks off I will be listening with renewed hope as usual until something horrible happens to thwart it. Mind you City never are actually predictable, so you never know another unexpected Watford- type goal avalanche from the Reds is always a possibility.

21. Marcham Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Remember when I went up there the last time we played them, some amazing 0-0 I've ever witnessed. Should of lost 7-2 or something stupid like that, we got so lucky that day. Anyway tonight my heart says win, but my head says lose; not just due to our form/tactics or whatever, but Leiecester are a very organised side under Pearson and although they aren't the most free scoring of teams I recon they'll beat us 1-0 with a goal from a corner or something like that. See very detailed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can score an early one, 3 isn't out of the question. The way things are going for us at the moment, I'm gonna say 2-1 loss, our goal in the middle.

I've already given the statistics above of how seldom we net 3 and BCFC aren't exactly famed for going for the other team's throat from the start either. An early one would be nice though, especially if we went for a quick second afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, although we live in hope. I think the fact that the prospect of an away win tonight seems so incredibly unlikely should emphasise to people, if it needed emphasising, that the main aim for the rest of the season has to be on avoiding relegation. Forget the play-offs, as we aren't anywhere near good enough for them based on what we've seen since mid-September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Jim Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 2-0 or 3-0 defeat for me I'm afraid. We just don't win these types of games. Add in defensive tactics and I feel we'll be inviting a wounded animal onto us, rather than trying to unsettle them. Only one outcome for me, but I live in hope.
