He would of prepared them immaculately for the game. They let him down I agree with you both. 8 changes regardless of quality will always be a risk and disrupt the rhythm of a team. Was far too many. Those that were picked didn’t play well enough individually not just collectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know who would have been available and ready today if they had played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Just watched part of a Leicester podcast and they seem more interested/worried about Forest on Saturday in terms of getting a result. I wonder if the players/Rogers will be of a similar mindset? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could’ve played the lot if needed 🙂 I personally would’ve made 4 maximum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take a couple of the chances in the first half (Isak in particular), we win comfortably, he doesn’t even need to bring any of the main lads on, and everybody says it was a brilliant decision.

He's got the height, I'm sure he'd do a good job at center back too. Edited January 10, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Expecting a nervy start but I do think it’ll click tonight and we’ll get back among the goals and score 3+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Can't believe how worried/worked up I'm getting over this tonight. I wasn't even like this before the 2 FA Cup finals, probably cos I knew we'd lose them both but still, hard to believe I'm 45 years old and this is without a doubt the best chance we've ever had of getting to a League Cup Semi Final in my Lifetime. Please just win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Incredible that's it's what 1976 since we last reached a LC semi? Doesn't it only take 3 wins to get there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Feels weird to care so much about the league cup, but I’ve been thinking about this all day. Distraction only on par with the NO Traitors thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak x 2, Murphy x 2 (the one on one where he just stopped running and the rubbish chip), Ritchie ballooning over twice, Wood all good enough chances to put that game away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Excited and nervous in equal amounts right now. My mate got decent tickets so I can't wait to get in the stadium and soak it all in Bringing a scarf but it's not black and white, more grey/green/maroon can't find my black and white one! My prediction is 2-1. I think we'll go 2-0 up in the 1st half and then concede in the 2nd to make it stressful as fuck for the remainder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
