Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted March 29 Would be content with a point but I think we’ll do them. 2.1 City and clappers thrown to the floor early on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutley 167 Posted March 29 We’ve got an excellent record on Easter Monday according to this: https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11712/13101574/championship-league-one-and-league-two-live?postid=7436729#liveblog-body Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 2,354 Posted March 29 Since the end of January, Leicester have shown mid-table form at best. So now is as good a time as any to play them. I'll go for a 2-2 draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was rather heartened by the record that’s all, as opposed to our dreadful Boxing Day one. I was there in 1978, and also the year before when we lost 5-0 (not Easter Monday) and in 1980, again on Easter Monday when we lost 4-2 with Eric the diver Gates winning two very dodgy penalties. You young ones on here know nothing of the pain we had to endure! In my ‘last 13 games’ predictions, obviously made some while ago, I had us down as losing this one and with Leicester losing at Bristol they will be right up for this. However they really are on a bad run and we could get a draw at the v least. Four points out of the next two games would be brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,018 Posted March 30 Leicester's defeat at Brizzle just may have made it more difficult for us. They'll be absolutely desperate for win and nothing less than a win will do really. I really can't predict this one. It's almost a free hit but a draw possibly more likely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 4,415 Posted March 30 (edited) Their season has imploded since January. What was a comfortable auto spot if not the title seems in doubt. Yesterday's loss means Monday is all but a 'must-win' for them. I suspect they'll start like a tornado and it will be all hands to the pumps - but weather the storm, get our shooting boots on and it could be high scoring game. Fancy our chances here but it will shred our nerves.. Edited March 30 by Yellow Fever 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackney Canary 106 Posted March 30 It’s an interesting one for sure. After they won the game before last, I thought their blip was over. Then they lost yesterday, and the blip starts to look like it might become a Devon Loch implosion. What does it mean for us? Well, on the one hand, I reckon they’ll come out all guns blazing. It’s possible - they’re still a damn good side, and we’re pretty rubs defensively - we get overwhelmed. On the other hand, they will - rightly, in my view - be ****ting themselves about the prospect of ending up in the play offs having been so far ahead, and the crowd will be too. Ride out the first 20-30 mins and I reckon we’ve got a great chance 👍🏼 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue that the continuation of their poor form makes it easier. They've been in a rut for several weeks and it's still going. A win yesterday would've given them confidence, but as it is, the doubts and the fear of completing one of the biggest Championship bottle-jobs of all time remain.

daz 137 Posted March 30 Tbf on the highlights brizzle played some good stuff and Leicester did some really good high pressing which as long as we don't P I s s about with it too much at the back should be fine 😑😉👌 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, but they're creating excellent chances regularly still. They're just, slightly unbelievably, not taking them. Really tough game but be delighted with a point.

Oh yeah, it's still going to be an incredibly tough game, but I think that yet another poor result yesterday is more likely to go in our favour than work against us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 372 Posted March 30 Everyone seems to be forgetting NCFC away form, we are not playing the bottom feeders. An early goal will boost them however fail to notch in first half after they have tried and failed to breach a 0-0 could be predicted. If we score first a 1-0 on the cards.

sgncfc 1,332 Posted March 30 Happy with a point, but I can't see Leicester losing this one. We need to score first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,261 Posted March 30 Teams have caused them problems recently by sitting in and springing at them quickly on the counter kinda similar to what Plymouth tried to do to us yesterday. We've shown we can do that well before, we caused Leeds some problems playing that way and were unlucky not to get a result in that game. I think if we go for that approach we could get a good result but if we go in and try to play them at their own game we will probably get picked off but either way I'm leaning towards a 2-2 draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,606 Posted March 30 This game probably wont define our final position, so if I could pick I would happily take 3 points from our next 2 games, but those 3 points coming next Saturday.. Unfortunately football doesn’t work like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
