Dyche in charge vs the F word at the KP......Cooper in the other dugout on thin ice....still not knowing his best XI.....Vardy supercharged on Red Bull and Sherry bangs in a hat trick and cups his ears to the Florist lot who've been berating him all match.....Leicesters season begins

Then did you wake up or did you turn the carlsberg advert off?

[FoxyJim1987]

This match will be like two one armed dwarves trying to fight each other. It won't be pretty, and will not contain much skill but it will be fairly entertaining.

I’m not watching this. I’ll be on holiday with my family and while he’s in charge he doesn’t get to dictate my mental health. Especially against this heap of shit we’re about to lose to.

[RowlattsFox]

We've only beaten teams below us in the table for as long as I can remember..it's a bit difficult to do that when you are bottom  

 

New manager or not this period between now and the world cup is ridiculously important. Goes well and we might go into a comfortable season, goes badly and we're as good as down. 

Forest, Bournemouth, Palace, Leeds, Wolves, Man City, Everton, West Ham. Probably need to win as many as 5 of these.

Absolutely.  Ideally 4 pts from next 2 games, better if 6.  Then Palace, Leeds, Wolves.

Just for Gods sake don't keep continuing to concede 2 goals a game and we have a chance.

They just need confidence, that why Forest and Bournemouth are so important, and don't fanny about at the back if we go in front, if in doubt get rid forward, hard for them to score from the half way line Danny, Jonny, Wilf etc.

If we can keep it to 2 goals conceded a game we might stand a chance

We have stopped conceding 2 goals a game, it was 6 and 5 in the last 2......

[FoxOfMelton]

I work in Nottingham. I'm really, really not looking forward to this one.

[Lambert09]

i’m not sure i can forgive the club for what’s going to happen here 

 

 

[fox_up_north]

I was really looking forward to this season, as well. Felt like it'd be a bit of a reset. No expectations, just enjoy it. 

 

Absolutely dreading this and glad I can't get down for it. 

[AKCJ]

Iversen

Castagne Faes Soyuncu Justin

Soumare Tielemans

Maddison                       Barnes

Daka Iheanacho

[Leicester_Loyal]

Blue on blue violence in the crowd is on the cards for this, gonna be majestic to watch. 

[RowlattsFox]

4231. I don't care who plays from the right. At this point my preferred choice would be Maddison and Iheanacho rotating. Behind either Daka or Vardy, not sure Daka did anything wrong so he carries on for me. 

 

Ndidi and Tielemans central. Let Tielemans be the one receiving the ball from the centre backs. Ndidi protecting the right hand side and giving Castagne some help.

It's been happening at away games a lot this year, I saw 6 pockets of it at spurs. It's bound to spill into home games with this now

[Lako42]

The lift that we desperately needed for this game isn't coming. 

 

I really wanted to be able to look forward to this with a renewed sense of optimism but Instead It will be apathy. 

 

 

Even if we win this I will want him gone. Any celebration of goals or victory are not a reflection on feeling towards management. 

 

 

 

And if we lose, then the fans genuinely need to start and make themselves felt here, no excuses. 

[jim5000]

Can’t see us keeping our first league clean sheet in living memory against Forest.

[PAULCFC]

The darts world grand prix is on the same night.......i know where i'm going!

[Guest Col city fan]

I think we’ll beat Forest personally. They don’t know what they are doing (neither do we) but I think we’ll ‘turn up’ and get all three points.

Ditto. And thank f*** for that!

[FT Goober]

He’s gonna still be here for the Forest game, like every other team that plays us at the moment with cockwomble in charge, they’ll be rubbing their hands with glee as we present

them with the opportunity of 3 easy points.

Not if Rodgers is still here. They will be really up for this, and we won't be. We may score 2 but that won't be enough. Atmosphere will either be like a cemetery or toxic if we go a goal down. Our players are mentally shot.

[Guest ttfn]

We will win this game with or without Rodgers.

 

I don’t know if people have actually watched Forest this season but they are absolutely awful. They make us look difficult to play through. And for the most part even when we’ve fluctuated between poor and crap for the last 10 months or so we have put away the sides at the bottom of the league at home.
 

My biggest worry is not that we lose with Rodgers in charge, it’s that we win with him in charge. Given the incomprehensibly low threshold he seems to have to hit to keep his job I can’t begin to imagine how entrenched a home win against the side one place above us might make him.

Cooper getting 2 weeks with the team to actually work on shape, it wouldn't surprise me if they look a somewhat more cohesive unit than they have done.

 

Thats all they need to be. Remember Steve Bruce outclassed Rodgers with a weak Newcastle team. There's absolutely nothing to say Cooper isn't capable of doing the same.
