Rich Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Quote When asked about Maddison after the victory over MK Dons, Davies said : "It’s just getting him up to speed. “He’ll be training this week. He’s good. He was training with England every session. He’s fine." “He came back a little bit later than the other guys, so he wasn’t quite up to speed for starting [on Tuesday night], as they wouldn’t have been if they came back at the same time. I would expect [he will be available to play against Newcastle].” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Didn't realise quite how good their form was coming into the break. They were W5-D1-L2 scoring 16 and conceding just 3. Has to be said it was a relatively decent run though, with the likes of Forest, Bournemouth, Everton and Wolves in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only won 2 at home against Forest and Leeds all season. Scoring only 9 goals in their 7 home games. They have certainly been in much better form and I do feel a bit nervous going into it. But like you say, they had a favourable run of fixtures. It will be a tough game and a proper test after the break. But we have had harder games and got through them this season and we are favourites for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit yes but hasn’t played a match for a month and a half. Could see him starting on the bench against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 After looking at their forum I hope we smash them. Some nice comments mostly about Howe, but also saying Bruno wouldn’t get into their midfield, we’ve paid a fortune for such an average XI, and we’ve played each of our opponents at the exact right time plus the benefit of some questionable decisions.

Their fans have always been a bunch of pricks just like their near neighbours Forest. Got a massive chip now that they are moving down the pecking order rather quickly and financially are unable to keep up. Two of their best players will be gone within six months at the latest and their main catalyst striker is showing his age. They will be fighting relegation in a year or two, fuck them.

Not what I've found, tbf. Got a good pal who's from Leicester and he, and his pals for that matter, are very pragmatic. Absolutely appreciated winning the league but know the limitations they're under now. Very complimentary to us on our upturn. Actually was a bloke on Talksport last night canny decent too.

Fair enough for you, but it is what I've found though my experiences in many visits to their ground (current and previous). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Their match going fans are quite aggro, I think? Got a mate who goes to watch Leicester home and away fairly often and he says the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filbert Street was always a ground where there was trouble when we played there. Underneath their new family-friendly image they are still a bunch of snidey pricks.

Stottie Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Leicester last six P6 W4 D1 L1 F10 A1. However expected goals is 6.5 for, 6 against. We're outperforming xG too, but not to that extreme degree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
