I see Norwich as the benchmark for BCFC, a decent ground, big catchment area and decent owners.

Be very careful writing something like that on here!

Good memories. I remember the Murray and Trundle goals so vividly, both right in front of the away end. 

Last goal Murray scored for us. He was still class in those last couple of years.

Thanks, didn't know that

Seems to be nonsense about the away pubs thing. Plenty of City fans in the Coach and Horses.

Owners that attend nearly every match and are proper fans apparently. Though speaking to their fans the owners are very careful with money which stops them properly pushing on.

2-0 Vardy.

Ive seen Fatawu and Mavadidi go to the bye-line more in this game than they have all season combined.

5 minutes for Jamie KL last week was enough to tick the ‘gives the academy a try’ box then

Dickie for James

2-1

Back to 8 subs & with JKL playing for the 21s, no defender on the bench, baffling.

It does indeed, but I reckon it’ll be back-3 3421.

You could argue that we potentially have 2 right backs, 2 left backs and 5 centre backs in the starting 11!

Agree about JKL by the way.

Good to see Knight back in central midfield where he performs best.

I think this will be the formation as well.
 

If we are playing 3 Centre backs having Tanner on the right side and Robert’s on the left side makes sense. Vyner and Dickie also both seem to struggle in three centre back formation and prefer back four when they are both playing Centre backs together.

I genuinely don't know the answer, but who is available?

Knight-Lebel has been on the bench over 30 times this season, so him.

Or Araoye.

Ref has given Leicester absolutely everything.

But we already know the priority is for the U21s to win their league at the moment so KL and Araoye aren't happening 

I honestly couldn't think of anyone else

Could argue it’s 7 on the bench with Mebude just making up the numbers. 

[Offside]

Glad to see Dickie back. Tough game today which will be an interesting test. We’ll have to do the basics much better than we did against Huddersfield. 

[ashton_fan]

I usually try and be optimistic but we've only beaten Norwich once in the last 14 attempts and haven't won at Carrow Road since Gary J was in charge so a big ask.

Again, penny for his thoughts today. There is an argument which has been gone through over not playing him last week but the fact remains that instead of playing someone who had been on the bench for 30 games when a vacancy arose in his position, the head coach decided to move several players around and make us far less effective. That had to make him feel like crap.

Fast forward to today and he’s not involved full stop. The only way I can rationalise it is if he’s knocked on LMs door and said he’d rather play in the U21s than warm the bench and not get on. If that’s not the case then - at face value - it looks a horrible piece of man management of a young player.

And don’t get me started on Tinnion recalling Araoye as opposed to him finishing an excellent loan spell just to play in an irrelevant U21s game!

[Lew-T]

Leicester manager cringing me out shoving Choudbury’s hand in the air. That whole club does actually.

The song choices after the game, the clappers. Embarrassing.

You’d think they would blare out a bit of Kasabian…
