The 2 1 with a injury hit Mowbray side lives in the memory , think we had Pele , Martis , Steele and Hodgkiss play that day .
Late Beattie winner from distance ! .
Be very interested to see how we approach this .

Ginger beatie curler special!

Anyway I was hoping Leicester might have a cup final reaching hangover however Leicester will be right up for this any points deductions for the traitors and they could well be favourites to win the title again

The FA can only have a few refs available. Michael Dean again.

Don't think it's got much of anything to do with the FA as such, it's the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) (which is funded by EPL,EFL and FA).

There are 65 select group officials. 19 of which are Select group 1 referees the rest are either select group 1 assistant refs or select group 2 referees.

The Mighty Baggies will demolish Leicester in the same manner we thrashed traitorous Chelski.

Weâ€™re on a roll boys!

Would play a back 3 tomorrow with Ajayi in to match Vardyâ€™s pace, although much improved donâ€™t think our 4 man defence is good enough when you against 2 up top.

I think he may well.do this, not sure about going at it from the off, that will suit them, I suspect it will be more like don't concede early and look to go for it second half. I'm probably talking rubbish though.

To get BT Sport or not...3 Baggies games coming up including tonights. Champions League semis. hmmmm!

I feel we're going to win tonight. Goddamnit I've developed confidence in this lot.

3-1!

Last thing we should be doing is changing the system or the personnel to negate the opposition. Let them think about us. Play to our strengths.

Game is 5am Sydney time but Iâ€™m hoping to watch it even though my wife and son will be sound asleep as well as my sister-in-law who is staying over.

I definitely think we can win but itâ€™ll be nervous to watch.

Another win and another step closer to safety.

paulosull · « **Reply #33 on:** April 22, 2021, 11:50:38 AM »

Think we will win this but a point wouldn't be a bad result if we could back that up with wins against Seals and Dingles.

Agreed Sir!
Not doing this has cost us a good few points this season, and is a part of the reasons we are where we are. COYB get this job done! 🁧

I think we will either go:

Johnstone

Furlong O'shea Bartley Townsend

Phillips Yokuslu Maitland-N Robinson

Pereira Diagne

or as someone said above we may go three at the back to add an extra man in centre midfield due to the way Leicester are likely to line up:

Johnstone

Ajayi O'shea Bartley
Furlong Townsend
Yokuslu
Gallagher Maitland Niles

Pereira Diagne.

Possibly drop Pereira slightly deeper into a top of a diamond role?

Will be interesting to see how Allardyce goes here.

KN22 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 22, 2021, 12:42:10 PM »

It will as others have said, be interesting to see how we line up. Leicester can break at frightening speed and we have to be mindful of that whilst maintaining enough attacking options to try to win the game. Vardy always worries me I have to say.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #37 on:** April 22, 2021, 12:48:30 PM »

Don't mess around with the current formula that is working so well.

Up and at 'em Albion..

hunsletbaggie · « **Reply #38 on:** April 22, 2021, 12:48:52 PM »

Must win game for me if we have any chance of staying up a draw is no good it would just keep the gap at eight points which it was before the Chelsea game and though we have been playing well we will have made no impact into cutting the deficit.

alex1 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 22, 2021, 02:07:15 PM »

Try not to chop and change what has worked well in last few games. Players take time to re-adjust. Don't play too deep, but don't let Vardy exploit space in behind.

MarkW · « **Reply #40 on:** April 22, 2021, 02:18:55 PM »

It's Iheanacho we need to worry about. Vardy is on a bit of a slump. This means he'll definitely score against us!

NJS · « **Reply #41 on:** April 22, 2021, 03:35:24 PM »

Maybe we need Ajayi in the back line for his pace?

Leicester are no longer a plucky little side. They have several on their bench that we wouldn't mind playing in our first team (cf Choudhury). It's going to be difficult to get anything out of this; let's hope we just play positively.

Leicester are no mugs, obviously need a win but i think this will be a draw.

Really looking forward to this COYB

Donâ€™t hold the same confidence as others that Oâ€™Shea & Bartley can deal with their front 2, also they play 3 centre halves so be good to see Diagne & MP right up there.

If anything Ajayi is more likely to make a rick than shore up the defence. In turn it removes the fluidity and/or solidity in midfield (depending who makes way) that we have deployed impressively in the last 2 games.

I do agree. You don't want a loss of concentration with Vardy around.

gazberg · « **Reply #47 on:** April 22, 2021, 07:02:00 PM »

Same starting XI as last game.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 22, 2021, 07:02:42 PM »

Thankfully we're unchanged.

In red and yellow though

Okay does the business with AMN and Vardy and Co will be starved of opportunity's.
