What a grade A fucking pillock

Leicester are straight out of the Sunderland playbook of saying "we don't care about Coventry" while doing everything to suggest they, in fact, do care quite a bit. The irony of course being that as far as i can remember both those clubs pushed the rivalry as once up on a time i couldn't have cared less about either of them. 2 absolute mutant fanbases.

Reckon this could be a high scoring game as both teams have talent going forward but maybe a bit weak at the back. I'll go for a 3-2 or 4-3.

My team:

Collins*
Thomas Fadz Lati
v.Ewijk Eccles Sheaf Bidwell
Palmer Hamer
Simms

Subs: Wilson*, Binks, Dasilva, Kelly, Burroughs, Howley, Sakamoto, Godden, Wright

Sakamoto to replace a tiring Palmer around 65 mins,

Assuming Wilson is fit enough for the bench, if not Moore. Also assumed Allen will not be fit enough to make the squad and Wright has been signed.

Hate em as much as you want, but they won that league and it was hell of an achievement. The were give nothing.
Yes they needed to shit on a lot of local businesses and send some to the wall.
Maybe when they got their billionaire they should have had to pay them debts, but business is full of crooks and doesn’t work that way.
Doubt it will ever be done again, but we can live in hope.

They were one of the richest clubs in the premier league at the time… get sick of the good old little Leicester.. that the media rammed down our throats. The stars aligned for them and it fell right, but Luton getting to the prem from being non league gets more respect from me.

Just found this from social services East Midlands. Police say there’s nothing to see here as we look after our own 🫣

1-1 draw goal from Simms

Hoping we go Simms and Wright from the start. No fucking about, show them we mean business.

Same with van Ewijk TBH. The step up in quality is surely worth any rustiness.

He can't be that rusty anyway in reality, I'm sure he'll start

apparently the original was photoshopped. This is what it really said

 

[Houchens Head]

Close game but I feel in my bones that it'll be 3-2 to Lesturd.

 

[The watchmaker]

Just been on their forum. Aside from the bias oblivious fans, most are worried.

Their cup final ain't it.

Honestly, we might get beat and beat bad but we can come back from that. A win for us and pressure is on Leicester from the off.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If we play like the 2nd Playoff leg vs Boro then we have a chance. If we play like first half of the playoff final vs Luton then we don’t. Shouldn’t let occasion or the home fans etc get the better of us. Keep it tight and keep the fans quiet and we could nick it.

Got a feeling it won’t be a tight game. We could have 6 or 7 debutants, and Leicester will be playing a different way under their new boss. I can’t see them keeping out Simms, Palmer, Godden, Hamer and Wright. 3-2 City

 

[shmmeee]

Think it’ll be a draw. 1-1 with one of the new guys to score.

Collins
Thomas Fadz Latibeaudiere
van Ewijk Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
Palmer
Simms Wright

S: Moore, Binks, Dasilva, Sakamoto, Eccles, Kelly, Howley, Obikwu, Godden

No way Wright starts on Sunday.

For that price I hope to God you’re wrong

 

[clint van damme]

City to win 2 or 3 to 1 with a late come back from a goal down.

2-0 Leicestoh

1-4
Simms 2, Thomas, Palmer.

I could have egg on my face tomorrow but I want to see a mindset shift from us fans too.

“We’ll do well for a point”
“I’d take a draw”
“They are ex premier league”

whilst all true and I get it, we aren’t little old naive Coventry anymore. We are good.

There is no reason whatsoever we can’t go there and pump these

there I said it

The mindset of our fans will have absolutely no bearing on what happens, and I would take a draw!

I'd like this to be the team we start with.
Particularly like the prediction of 'one of new guys to score.' - over half the team as an option!

Having watched Southampton last night they still had quality about them - all those left will have played with each other - it doesn’t matter what happens tomorrow the best is yet to come

They did have quality, but they also looked very beatable. No need to fear any of them. Just do our own thing.

Yes agreed but tomorrow could be a bit early for the new guys to gel well enough - needs Hamer

 

[Skybluelad.]

Hi all.
I got a mate who can make it tomorrow now so looking for one adult and can pay over face value. Can collect Coventry area or local.
DM if anyone got spares.
thanks.

we will win 2-1

I don’t think Wright is able to play?

I'm his interview he was asked would he be ready if called upon Sunday and he said yes. Presumably the question was asked because he is able. But I don't know.

 

[robbiethemole]

He's done pre-season in Turkey, so bring him off the bench with 20 mins to go as a surprise package for the first time

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

The Telegraph confirmed he’s available to play tomorrow. Everything must’ve been confirmed yesterday before the deadline and announcing it on Twitter was late, as per.
