Arguments are brewing in pubs, pun not intended. Where’s Neil Danns? Why isn’t the Nuge starting?
Both cases potentially fuelled further indoors by the individuals themselves through Tweets following Leicester’s first two fixtures.
So to Ewood Park against recently relegated Blackburn. How do we approach it? How do we win? Quite easily I think.
We’ve had a bad result, it’s not the be all and end all of Nigel Pearson’s latest tenure and it certainly doesn’t make us a bad team.
I think it’s simple, I also think it involves the recall of the two men Leicester fans keep talking about.
4-3-3. Fill the middle up, pace on the flanks and counter the chicken feed.
Anthony Knockaert has done more than enough to warrant a start on Saturday. His pace and ability could be a real threat for us going forward. I’d have him on the right of David Nugent.
The Nuge has to play, he simply has to. We need it to stick up front, especially away from home to relieve any pressure. Beckford and Vardy just haven’t done this well enough over the last two fixtures to warrant being on point. Our Nuge also possess great quality and is a big game player, no question.
To the left of Nuge I’d go with Vardy. This boy is honest, hard working and dangerous. His part in King’s goal at the KP against Peterborough shows his team ethic and awareness. These 3 could really hurt teams and I’d shove the lot of them in on Saturday, looking at Vardy and Knockaert as outlets to break.
The midfield 3 for me would be Drinkwater to hold, King to link up with Nugent and Danns to buzz some energy into the side. We need to match Blackburn for quality and endeavour before we do anything else. These 3 balance nicely and do that in abundance.
The back four is our achilles still it seems but maybe this time it’s just due to absentees.
Morgan needs legs with him and the boy Moore does provide that but his inexperience can be exploited, perhaps as it did on Tuesday at Charlton.
If Whitbred is half fit, big Nige has to throw him into battle. We need some steel to our foundation if we’re to have any chance at places like Ewood.
So there you have it. The team to beat Blackburn and put us back on the promotion trail. It’s a piece of piss Nigel. However much I love you, you really need to swallow some pride this weekend and field two very much needed individuals.
Losing the fans this early on could be detrimental to reign two.
