Leicester to thrash Rotherham, and beat Ipswich comfortably on Boxing day, those 2 things happening will be enough for me, this Christmas.

Ipswich game has a Desmond written all over it!

Well Doyle definitely is not fit and I doubt he will risk the other 3 to start when coming back from an injury.

[Chrysalis]

Keep the same 11 as last game, hope you guys dont forget we shouldnt be assuming we can win games where we dont respect the opposition.

So Doyle's good to go?

[grobyfox1990]

Has to be changes for this. Got more than enough in the squad to deal with Rotherham at home, then go full fire for Ipswich on Boxing Day. Would be madness to keep a similar lineup. Got the squad, use it

Ah maybe he's not. Enzo said he was very close over a week ago now though.

[String fellow]

Anyone who has dipped into the Crazy Stat thread will, like me, be thinking - beware of Yorkshire teams!

Opposite. The more I think about this the more professional sense it makes to target 6 points from Rotherham and Cardiff and okay a scratch team at Ipswich and try to squeeze a point there. 

 

Emotion says Ipswich is a Battle Royale. The hype, the TV, the fans. I'd go reverse psychology and make a statement -  we ain't even looking at you. Ipswich are just a number to us. 

 

I'd call in all the 'first reserves' Praet (if he can be arsed ofc), Coady, Souttar, Hamza, Yunis, Albrighton, McAteer, Kels and Vardy and I suppose Casadei if we must and play for a draw.

You can get 19/1 on a Rotherham win. That's the biggest I've ever seen against us I think. Even Newport were shorter  

 

4-0 to us.

Not so long ago everyone was predicting a massive win v QPR. Took a late late Winks worldy to beat them!

[Angus Scott]

I dont think Vesty will play on Saturday, if he gets booked it's a 2 game ban & Enzo is bound to want him against Ipswich.

The back 4 could be Hamza, Coady, Soutter & JJ. Our big problem is we cannot adequately replace Wilf & KDH.

It is true, we've not really taken apart most of the worst sides in the league, although we have played pretty much all of them away rather than at home. I think this'll be a pretty big win for us. These are hopeless away from home.

[Fox seen in Norwich]

Rest below for this.. all one booking away from suspension so at risk of missing game vs the tractors

Vesty - 9 bookings

kdh - 4 bookings

mavididi - 4

Fatawu - 4

Sadly I suspect you may be correct but it’s still a point.

………do you have to be over 45 to understand a Desmond ( God bless him)?

It's worth noting that their game will be finished by the time we play. 

Then they have a 200 mile trip home.

Here's me desperately trying to work out what a Desmond Dekker might be. Then the penny dropped, Desmond Tutu, as in a 2-2 draw. 

Look, it's my birthday today, so not thinking straight.

Good point. But realistically Boxing Day, jan 13 and jan 22 are our only meaningful games left this season. Need the best team, fresh and raring to go, to play those games. For professional integrity, attempting to be the best team in champo history and justify building a squad

Be a quite bit of rotation for this one I think

We don’t have too many fit first team players to rotate with at the moment.

No only Vesty is in danger of a two match ban. After the 19th game.e the level jumps to ten bookings and a two match ban.

I am visiting the UK and would like to attend the Rotherham match with my two boys (7 and 9) who have never been to a LCFC match. Anyone selling tickets or know where i can get 3 tickets from? 

Cheers
