I think this game will require even more of the same at Palace, plus, surely Camarasa needs a rest at this point, he must be knackered. Reid for myself despite being talented, just doesn't suit being up top on his own. I'd like to see him up top with someone, or just in behind, but Warnock doesn't seem to be interested too much in setting up that way, nor do I think this would be the game to do so.
I say this in all seriousness, if neither Paterson or Zohore are available then I would start Madine, he does actually have some aerial prowess. Besides, if Gary scores, we're on the pitch.

He scored a cracker in the warm up yesterday.

- Leicester won the reverse fixture against Cardiff 1-0 this season - they last won consecutive games against the Bluebirds in all competitions in September 2010.
- Cardiff City have not scored more than twice in a game versus Leicester in all competitions in any of their last 12 clashes.
- Leicester City have won seven of their last 10 Premier League games against newly-promoted teams (D2 L1).
- No side has scored fewer goals in the opening 15 minutes of Premier League games this season than either Leicester or Cardiff (1, level with Crystal Palace).
- Leicester are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since a run of four in December 2017.
- No side has won more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Leicester (12, level with Arsenal).
- Cardiff are winless in 11 Premier League away games (D2 L9), with the Bluebirds failing to score on seven occasions in that run.
- Just one of Cardiff's last eight Premier League goals has been scored before half-time.
- Leicester's Jamie Vardy has played three league games against Cardiff without scoring - he's only faced Blackpool and Hull (4 each) more often in the English Football League without scoring.

Lot of optimism on this board after the draw ato Palace. I don't share that, Leicester are a decent outfit, 2nd tier after the big guns. Having said that stranger things have happened and no doubt Arter and Gunner will be back after being rested. Patterson too, possibly.

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Be good to frustrate them the same way we done to Palace however we cannot afford them 31 shots at goal with the quality they have.
What I would give to go 1-0 up for a change.

Hasn't Maguire reportedly said, Madine is one of the toughest forward he's played against?
Give him a run ,good chance for a run out or shop window moment .

Yes and they are the better type of closing down harrassment players , its was a good shout to rest them in my view , perhaps NW fancied this game as a better chance drawn game , than Palace.??

The few times I've seen Madine he looks very raw and doubt he'd be allowed to play the way he has done in the past by the EPL refs.
If we are chasing the game then maybe bring him on but even then, lumping the ball up to him won't do us many favours unless he's supported.
Can't see him featuring but even if he doesn't play, I'd still see some interest in Madine from other clubs.

I wouldn’t say he’s been dropped. It was his first game back after injury so rotation is key with the size of the squad we have.

Really? If we are to pick up any points away I would pick palace over Leicester

Not confident about this but Morrison to score as I've taken him out of my fantasy league squad.

This ref is a **** already

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Cunningham? Might as well give them a 1 goal head start.

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Best opening 15 minutes away from home all season. Lets keep it up!

That spell of attacking 10-15mins was probably the best I've seen city play for ages.

It was good. Fallen off a bit since. Under the cosh now.

Having another nice spell.

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Wish Murphy would stop trying to cut inside every time he gets the ball

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
You've got to love this team. We just need to keep our concentration and be mistake free and we'll have a decent chance of getting something here.

No idea what you're basing this on

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We’re going well. Need to shoot more. I’d swap Murphy to the other wing, he looks up for it but can’t get past their right back.

Or let him run their right back into the ground a bit more and then bring on Harris to have a go.

Excellent half. Agree 100% about Murphy, he's excellent up to the 18 yard line and then runs into traffic. I don't often agree with VT but we have to pull the trigger earlier & more often

This is one of the best first half displays we've had all season. Our midfield are actually winning more of the 50/50 balls and generally we've looked really quite good. Camarasa has been everywhere and looks the best player on the pitch in that first half.
I agree with you about Hoilett though, he just lacks a bit of heart I feel. I'd bring on Reid for Paterson at some point - we can hurt them with that extra bit of pace that Reid offers.

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The only negative from me is why the feck aren’t we shooting we’ve been in some tidy positions and panicking who to pass to next and Murphy needs to try and run down the side line rather than giving the midfielder a chance to double up on him when coming inside

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Seriously don't know why we are trying to walk the ball into the back of the net all the time ......... SHOOT FFS

Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Decent first half, been closing down well, just really lack any clear cut scoring opportunities
-
Re: LEICESTER CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We've done alright. Just seem a bit timid in the final third - maybe we're surprised to be there so much.
