I must admit there is definitely a part of me that wants Vardy to play, score and knee slide in front of Wazza. Chief Rustler. 
 

But another part of me thinks it would be better if he wasn’t there, and it’s treated as a normal game not a spectacle ie. Wagatha Christie II. We should have too much to beat Brum as it is, don’t want something silly like that getting their fans riled up and making Brum play better, and adding pressure to our team.

Just three points will do. Don’t care vardy v Rooney.

Completely agree... 2 blokes have a fantastic football career and it gets billed as a battle due to this stupid wagatha rubbish.

 

For me, daka starts again.. save vardy for Ipswich where hopefully his experience prevails.

 

As Enzo says, over Xmas just find a way to win. 1-0 win with a goal off ndidis ass again will do just fine 

[Blueman1967]

Give Daka another game two in two games, on a roll, and Cannon more game time.

Full strength. The time to rest is Rotherham at home. Their away record is pitiful. Worst away record in the division vs the best home record. Should be able to do them with a second string team playing meaning we can go into Ipswich with a nice amount of rest.

 

Worth pointing out that Ipswich and Leeds play each other when we play Rotherham at home.

 

Birmingham;

Daka

Mavididi KDH Ndidi Fatawu

Winks Ricardo

Justin Vestergaard Faes

Hermansen

 

Rotherham;

Cannon

McAteer Casadei Ndidi Fatawu

Hamza Ricardo

Justin Coady Souttar

Hermansen

 

 

 

 

Hermansen up front for both? That’s brave.

Where are people drinking before the game?

[Timtmc]

Don’t want to jinx it but we have tickets and the only aways we’ve been to this season are Middlesbrough and Shef Wed.  We’ve long overdue seeing us getting 3 points on the road.

If Daka scores again against Birmingham Vardy may find it hard to make the team for the Ipswich game. Can you drop a striker with 3 in 3 ??

Both Vardy & Nacho have been pants for a few games before their recent injury/illness so Daka is certainly our number 1 choice in my opinion. That said, I would still rotate Daka for the Rotherham home game, so that he can start at Portman Road 48hrs later.

Yes.   That makes the most sense !!!!

We’d better win for obvious reasons!

Not being funny mate, but can you sell your tickets asap, we need to win this game 😊

Have to play Rotherham after that... but yea I get your point. 

 

But in all honesty Ipswich away is different to these 4 games.

Yeah.  I made a mess of that !!! I forgot all about Rotherham !

My point remains the same though, can you drop an in form striker & replace him with a sub par striker. Vardy has been average at best this season & shouldn't  walk back into the side when Daka  is playing well.

Completely agree, Praet can more than hold his own in that position.

 

I've found Coady a bit temperamental when he's played so far. Definitely a considerable step down from Faes & Vesty but again, more than capable of filling the void when needed.

 

I'd give Mavididi a rest also. Perhaps keep him on the bench though as he would still be a great impact sub should circumstances dictate he's needed.

 

Looking forward to this one. Birmingham are actually a lot higher in the table than I though.  I really thought they were in the bottom 3.

Praet will need to brush up on his weight of pass, a minor gripe but on Wednesday nearly every pass of his looked like the grass was 12 inches long. Undercooked everything.

Narh I can't be arsed with the circus. I doubt either Jamie or Wayne even give that many fvcks, you'd have to imagine both would much, much, much rather be judged and remembered for footballing merits. 

 

Don't think he's gonna be fit anyway. 

 

Would go with pretty much first choice for this and Ipswich and rotate for Rovrum. 

 

Hermansen, 

Faes, Vestergaard, JJ

Ricardo, Winks

Fatawu, Ndidi, KDH, Mavididi

Daka

I saw this and thought it was brave to put Mads up top circa James at Man City.

[sharpylcfc]

No Vards Monday and I bet Sky are fuming. If we're being honest the only reason it got picked for telly is for Vardy vs Rooney let's be honest. I agree I'm sure Vards and Rooney didn't want the circus that comes with it but I'm certain that's why it was picked by Sky. 

[bmt]

I agree about the circus but Vardy does tear it up whenever Rebekah gets any stick from fans which is guaranteed to happen - wouldn't mind it if he played (if fit)
