holmesfield_owl Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 A real tough match, bookies have us as big as 10/1 to win. I'm hoping there's no collapse and we work hard and smart. I'm always hopeful but think we'll probably 'lose with spirit' 3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmesfield_owl Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Snap said: We're going to get a point aren't we? Have to stop effing around with it at the back though. Whatever happened to Bambo? Is he out of favour or injured and Iorfa must be nearing a return as well. Oh hold on, he hasn't been at that African tournament has he? Eligible for Nigeria but no. Also played right upto u21 level with England which I didn't know, Iorfa that is. Edited February 12 by holmesfield_owl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowl Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Be interesting they played a young lad at the back at the weekend instead of Connor Coady, wonder if he gets another chance. We have to accept that defeat is highly probable on this one. Not being defeatist simply realistic as they are miles above most squads in this league. After that I think we have a chance in every remaining game, Leeds at home will be a derby so anything goes. Clearly none of those are an easy game - if you are 23rd out of 24 then it's simply fact.

HoylandOwl Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Here's my usual pre match gubbins.... Our Head to head record v Leicester City Wednesday wins - 42 Draws - 29 Leicester City wins - 40. Last time out at The King Power stadium ( Or maybe it was Walker's stadium back then?) Friday 4th April 2014 - Leicester City 2 Wednesday 1. Last time we won at their gaff. 9th March 2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Officials for the game according to the EFL website. Referee: TOM NIELD Assistants: James Wilson and Andrew Dallison Fourth Official : James Linington Mr Nield was due to ref us earlier this season but it didn't happen.... Think that was the game we got Rebecca Welsh the other week if my memory serves! Mr Nield's record this season to date.. 18 games reffed. 72 Yellow cards. 1 Red card.

Reesh Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And which is more: you'll be a Man, my son! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Gassama needs to give some cover to MJ or we could be dead and buried by 20mins in. DR is trying to give it a go. I take it from that Momo and Akin are not being risked, which makes sense. I’d rather have them for games where we have a better chance of getting some points.

TheExile Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Leicester struggled with us when we went direct and that’s how we scored at home. Half expected us to do that tonight just make life difficult for them rather than try and out play them in tight areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
