Really fancy Simms and Wright vs Faes and Doyle if that's what it ends up being.

They have Connor Coady as well. I reckon they'll go 3 at the back.

I can't find it now but I saw their predicted team on twitter and it's really strong.

Edit, just seen Coady is injured.

I think godden will start but wright has been training so who knows what robins has in mind.

I think this signing is also good for Simms in that it seems like he might go bit under the radar now. Might score loads with less focus on him from not only opposition but the fans too

Look if you call the Wembley final a draw after full time then we are still on one hell of a run

He will play. He won't start is what I said.
Would have trained with the team once.

Match postponement - Waterlogged pitch, I think will be the outcome.

Seen a few Leicester fans suggest it'll be a carbon copy of last night where we'll be running around chasing shadows. Loving that over confidence.

Jeez, it's actually Leicester away tomorrow. Been waiting 11 years for this! Would love it, love it....

You don't pay 7m for a bench warmer, I think him and Sims will start maybe come off in the second half at some point.
See if we can drop the ball behind Doyle, make him turn we know he's not the quickest.

That would suit us, give us more time to work with van Ewijk and Wright, but just can't see it happening, Leicesters pitch is one of the best, and has excellent drainage, a few showers ain't going to trouble the big K.O.

Not like the forecast to be right anyway, after the deluge and storms all week.

That Southampton Manager Martin, celebrations like Klopp at Liverpool, must think they've already won the league.

Muppet.

Yeah Mark Robins will probably start with the same 10 + Hamer as against Exeter, Mark Robins will gradually introduce the new players gradually.

I get that but I will be surprised if he starts tomorrow. Think it will be Simms and Godden.

Honestly cannot describe how gutted I am to have had to sell my ticket for tomorrow. It is my partners birthday and celebratory plans changed pretty last minute meaning I can't attend live tomorrow. It is her birthday so in that sense it is fair enough, but the tease of it all fitting together perfectly to then change last minute has made it worse!

So enjoy the game all, I will be driving to a Health Spa where alcohol is not served and 'treatments are a must' while listening as long as I can until out of range, or the less likely option I am the passenger and can watch on my phone!

Re the game, I agree - we will have a lot of changes and new players on show tomorrow, but all are just as good, if not superior, to their replacements (bar Vik) - and I back MR to find a way, as he has so often before.

We need to keep putting the ball in behind him. He benefited from the very deep line we played last season but if Leicester play a higher one he could be exposed

If Wright doesn’t start, we’ll start with the box formation against Leciester.

Godden doesn’t really suit us when we play direct football and against Leicester he’ll be chasing shadows out of possession. It’s a nightmare game for Godden.

Doyle played LB Leicester in a few games. Like the idea of Binks pinging some cross field balls in behind him for MVE.

Late for what? Like, as in, he probably signed days before but I'd imagine there's things to prepare, syncing with the other club etc before it's announced to the fans which is the end of the process.

Just don't understand how it could be late for anything.

My mate is on holiday in Egypt and they are 2 hours ahead of us, and the hotel hes in has live football, so when the game finishes over there, it will still be 11.45 here, so he's going to text me the score, and I'll still have time to put a bet on !!!

We genuinely blagged our mate years ago to phone friends on holiday in Spain to find out the World Cup final score , they were in on it he went down the bookies to stick it on but one of the lads couldn’t stop laughing and spooked him

Compromise and all that

I hope they have a treatment that can remove your balls from your wife's handbag and reattach them where they belong!

They will be nervous as a team with a losing mentality. If we can create early chances hopefully they might panic!
