woodsaint1 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Want a convincing Leicester win as I dont think we'll catch them. Its all about promotion - 1st, 2nd or even 6th, it ultimately doesnt matter as long as we're back in the PL. Yes it would be good to win a trophy, but would take 2nd place right now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a decent trophy though is it? It’s a bit Noddy trying to claim it is. Promotion is the only thing that matters in this league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion is the only thing that matters in this league. Not sure I would describe 'The Lady' as a 'bit Noddy'. It (or at least a replica) has been awarded to the champions of the (English) Football League since 1888 and has some illustrious names on it (as well as the Skates). Sadly our name has never graced it and it would have been nice eventually for it to have done so (closest we came was 1984 and then when we were last promoted). Personally I think Leicester are already gone for this season, so have reluctantly settled for 2nd again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why denigrate one of the most historic trophies in world football? So I take it the only trophies worth winning are the Premier League and FA Cup (possibly League Cup, though that is seen as a bit Mickey Mouse these days), seems a bit limiting really, never likely that we will them. And you describe the trophy as Noddy. Think its you that should be wearing the blue hat with a bell on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascadia Saint Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Whatever happened to Bertrand? Excuse me for not paying attention since he left, but I just suddenly remembered he went to Leicester with Vestergard. Wiki says he only played 4 times for them and now he’s without a club?

He seems Ok positionally, reasonably quick and he busts a gut to support attacks. Has a good touch and decent on the ball. Willing to take the fullback on and get to the bye to cross. He was outstanding last year in League 1. If they hadn't got promoted he would have been one to target. Might still be for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Leicester look better side with Winks, Dewsbury-Hall centre commanding it. Mcateer and Mavididi wide looking good going forward . Vest and Faess look vulnerable to ball in channel over top. ipswich will be better second half I think. i agree Chez was unlucky to score that off keeper.

Doesn't surprise me that he's linked with a Prem side, but I can't see him leaving in this window. He's a key player for them and they won't want to unsettle their side. 18 months left of his contract though, so things will happen in the summer.

Reminds me of many games we have had and struggled to score (against far worse teams than Ipswich) As for Ipswich, away to by far the best side in the league and defending well enough on the edge of their box.

macca155 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 8 minutes ago, AlexLaw76 said: As said, lets see how good we are when we have to go away to WBA, Ipswich and Leicester....... Very much the test of our season. Leeds away is probably irrelevant as play offs will be sorted by then, if Saints are involved. I'd add Middlesborough and Sunderland at home. They'll be going for play off positions and will fight like tigers. The current run is great but Saints aren't being truely tested yet. That Friday game at WBA will be a cracker and will tell us a lot. Nothing to fear from these two on tonight's showing. Although Leicester look a bit more solid than Saints. Love this league.

Either way both us and them are leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
