Football Special

Rochdale we took good numbers as it was rearranged and lots wanted to tick the ground off?, in fact that season was impressive Hartlepool midweek had about 800 up there , Oldham is a good shout midweek in January but again was a ground we hadn't played at for a while. Leicester seems to be perfect storm of short notice/ midweek / poor form / played there loads (every year) , didn't expect it to be popular but thought we'd get at least 1000 up there

Genuinely struggling to think when we last took so few away, possibly Sunderland midweek January 2003

We're 14th in the Championship, we don't need to be brought back down to earth

M1 never on sale and half the grey dots in m3 were already showing when went on sale must be player comps etc. Which we know are sometimes left empty anyway, tiny away support

Hopefully he's lacking match fitness as hasn't played much for last couple of seasons, but did think was a decent bit of business for them

We've only sold a few hundred tickets for this, looks set to be comfortably our smallest away following for the last few seasons

Strange game, playing them twice in the space of a few days. Obviously Leicester are without a permanent manager currently and on a poor run of results, but when I look at their starting XI it really isn't that bad. They've had a man sent off in both of their last two games so results a bit distorted playing with 10 men. I fear Tonda tries to counter Leicesters pace and makes changes at the back. Some thoughts from the opposition : https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/138764-southampton-h-tuesday-745pm/#comments

Geordies stopped wearing tea towels on their heads for now at least

Agreed, ultimately we're still bottom half of the table, no point looking too far ahead until we at least get into top half of the table , see where we are end of the month

I agree with that, Scienza not at his best, fitness of the whole side still questionable to be honest. Bet Tonda changes the team on Tuesday to protect some players who can't "handle the minutes"

Yeah February is huge for us, club can't complain about this run of fixtures, up to us to make the most of them , would bloody love a win at Leicester on Tuesday

I don't think so, we're too inconsistent and probably left too much to do. Hopefully stay in contention to keep season interesting

Very slow wasn't it, poor vision or poor movement off the ball to make space for a pass? Overall a very nice 3 points against a tough Watford side. I'm not a fan of these early kicks offs Still quite a few fans leave early to beat the traffic despite a nervy ending holding onto the win, never understand that.

hes not allowed to play against us on Tuesday is he?

Starts for Leicester and booked within 5 minutes
