Saints vs Leicester - Tuesday 8pm

[Lighthouse]

Leicester at home can only mean one thing; some muppet is going to get himself needlessly sent off. I think it's something like five out of the last seven times we've played this fixture.

You'd have to expect the same team, with Downes possibly being preferred to Bragg.

Leicester are accumulating a nice bunch of yellow cards today. So watch this space!

[CB Fry]

Beat Leicester 2-0 and we go above them in the league, which will feel like we really are back.

Accumulating points too, hopefully some will be deducted soon

Probably a good opponent after today.

If we were playing less ambitious opponents they would probably park the bus and then we'd have the moaning "in the mixer" brigade whinging about backwards, sideways bollocks all match.

Hopefully Leicester come to try to take it to us.

[Football Special]

Back down to earth win a bump after today's big win.

Prediction 0-9 defeat. 

[SNSUN]

After QPR, Wednesday and Charlton,  Leicester is Tonda's first real test. Win this and he must be a shoe in for the job, whether it's the right decision or not. 

Good to see today that the summer signings (Post Downs and Quarshie) are really making their mark. Some more of that transfer decision making in January and it will be a wonderful second half of the season.

Charlton have lost once in the league, at the Valley since December 3rd. How was that not a real test?

[SNSUN]

They've scored 7 goals in 10 games. We've scored 10 in 3. Keep our goal rate up and we should be ok. Reading Foxestalk they say there were more positive signs for them today though, Begovic in goal was one. We have history with him.

Bullshit, it's not even December yet.

As in a pre-season promotion contender.

[adrian lord]

We owe Leicester a heavy defeat.

Doubt it, they seem to be getting the Man City treatment. 

[SuperSAINT]

Isn’t the main issue with Leicester that their wingers usually terrorise us?

Yeah Mavididi and Fatawu usually tear us apart. The problem is we've got Manning who makes it even easier for them.

I'm still not over the 2-3 from last year. Gotta give it to 'em whilst they're hurting and give it to 'em good.

[Pamplemousse]

If we play like we did today, we win every game. I'm still in shock from what I saw but I loved it.

Perfect time to play them. I can't stand them, it's time we won. Revenge for that shite 5-0 loss under that twat Martin.

Completely agree on all that, out of interest why is it perfect time to play them? Have they got a lot of players out? It really is about time we got a result against them , will feel weird not making a ton of wonga betting on Vardy to score anytime

I still feel on paper they are the strongest team in the league, so coming off the back of a 5-1 win full of confidence, hopefully we can focus more on how we can hurt them rather than the other way around. I'd be fearful if we had them say just after the Blackburn debacle.

Ah yes understood, good time to play them because of our form , thought I might had missed something on their situation. I agree despite the talk of Leicester crisis club in the summer and not spending any money they kept a very strong starting XI 

Any win for us would put us above them, which would be nice

I think we can get a six point deduction & still finish top six. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Play like we did today and we beat them. I do have a slight concern - lose Scienza to illness or a January bid and we’ll be mediocre again.

Have they received their points deduction yet?

So 5-1 away to Charlton, I feel revenge against Leicester for a 9-0 incoming.

BTW Based on game time body language I really really feel AA is not a fan of Nathan Jones, he played like he would have done anything to win that game. Would love to here the inside view of Nathan Jones time at SFC

Arma played an exceptional game, like no other he’s produced at Saints.  Killer passes, half turns, assists, high pitch pressing, tracking back to defend and the well taken goal at the second bite.  Maybe it was a dislike of Jones which motivated him.  He and several others have lifted their games since Still's sacking.
