Massively.

Are tickets still available? I’m tempted to swallow the cost and just go to it if so, really want to do another away this season before it ends and weirdly have never been to the old Walkers Stadium

Edit - Just checked the relevant thread to see when they go on sale so ignore me

I was about to post 'they haven't even gone on sale yet and here's you posting 'TAKE MY MONEY!'

Yes it is. A nice stadium actually.

Could do with a miracle for this one. Carlos' middle name isn't 'Jesus', is it?

I remember Garth Crooks scoring an overhead kick to put us two up at Filbert Street in the late 80s. I was behind the goal in the home end and I completely forgot myself celebrating the goal. The people stood around us fortunately turned out to be Albion too!

SmethDan · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2024, 12:02:21 PM »

No BTA, Maja not at full strength, Townsend being Townsend, Bartley looking a bit more like his old self, Kipre going off the boil and a lack of pace or invention from central midfield and players seemingly off the pace generally.

All the hallmarks for a very long early afternoon. Leicester City 0 v 1 WBA. Peak Albion that. Here's hoping anyway, but we all know what they say about hope. Bit the financial bullet and will be in attendance for this one. COYB

I'm expecting to see Wallace starting up front and Maja on the bench. If we needed a win desperately we could risk starting Maja, but we aren't in that position... yet.

I haven't seen loads of Leicester in their recent run of form but did watch them against Plymouth where they were vulnerable in transition and especially behind the full backs.

Corberan likes to setup 442 out of possession so with that in mind, I'd like to see two of of Wallace, Diangana, Fellows or Johnston as the two with Phillips in one of the wide positions.

Personally I wouldn't mind to see us set up 433/451 with maybe Phillips in central midfield like we did against Leeds under Darren Moore, we were very good in transition that night.

Leicester have doubts on Vardy, Pereira and Dewsbury Hall

Hopefully Gaz we could do with those three plus others out! Our recent form will have to improve by 100% if we want to get something out of this game. That said, over the years, we always seem to perform better against good teams. Fingers crossed that will happen tomorrow. 🤞

All 3 doubts for Leictesr involved. Vardy and Dewsbury start.

M'Vila starts for us. Maja and Weimann on bench

No surprise. Their team is ridiculous.

Leicester fans wondering why Faes and Choudhury are starting at full back. Not happy

WBArgo · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2024, 11:53:13 AM »

No doubt Vardy will score a late winner

He's been poor lately as well and has missed a few sitters but that won't matter.

TheBaggieMan · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2024, 12:04:07 PM »

Not surprised Fellows is on the bench - he hasn’t been very effective in the last few games

TheBaggieMan · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2024, 12:05:21 PM »

No BTA even on the bench. Is he injured or just dropped?

I’m assuming his ban has kicked in.
