Thought I'd start this week's match thread by reminiscing a bit about the last time we played Leicester at home. The Premier League experience was still fresh and exciting. We had already banked half the number of points we've accrued this season, in only four games. Laurent Depoitre terrorized an England centre-back, and but for some dubious refereeing, we would have taken all three points.
I didn't make it over for the Newcastle or Southampton games, so this was my first Premier League match at the JSS. Was sat with my Dad behind the goal in the FML when Town scored and the place erupted. We came away wondering how on earth we didn't win a game that we dominated for large periods. We played some nice free flowing football and created plenty of chances. I was proud of my team and convinced on the basis of that performance that we'd survive. Topped off with a few pints in some of our favourite old haunts on the way back up town, it was a grand day.
I know things have soured of late, and we're headed back where we probably belong, but I for one look forward to the day that we grace this division again. On more than one occasion Town showed that they could mix it with the big boys. Remember the buzz and feeling of pride that gave us.
Right then. Back to the present. With relegation confirmed, the shackles will be off and the green shoots of recovery will start to show. 2-1 Town.

Daly, Billing and Kongolo all doubtful. No TK should make for fun viewing with Albert Steptoes pace running at us 🤔

Some very good comments by Danny Williams on the official site. Looks like he’s pushing for a start tomorrow. Sounds like he’d like to stay on next season. Provided he can keep fit he could be an asset in the Championship.

Going back to that first game against Leicester, I think it was Danny's first start as well. He was fantastic in the 'Hogg' role. Completely bossed it and looked really good on the ball as well. Shame he's been undermined by injuries, but has never given less than 100% when he has played. Definitely one to try to hold on to.

maybe the Leicester players will fall out with the manager overnight and have another period of doing sweet fa for their wages??? the c-nts stopped running for the last one, however much you dont agree with the blokes tactics nothing should stop you working hard for your silly, silly money??
Williams?? if fit he is an ideal championship player and I feel he would have done better than most, working his arse off in midfield for us this season..

I get the fact that it can become frustrating/disheartening watching your team constantly getting beaten, but surely that’s only part of the ‘match day experience’? If I had a Season Card then it wouldn’t even cross my mind not to go down.

I got two tickets from Terrier Exchange, so me and the Mrs will be attending our last Premier League game until we return again. I’ve got a good feeling about tomorrow, time to get that elusive 3 o’clock kickoff victory.

I go tomorrow to see us try our best to win a game..we can all talk about it afterwards but the original premise remains true..

For me, I’m motivating myself for keeping up my record of not missing a home game for last 4 seasons and watching the likes of Grant with a view to next season. Another thing though is that despite the many disappointments of this season our wonderful fans keep turning up in numbers. I understand another near full house tomorrow.

I don’t regularly stand and watch the player coaches come to the ground, not seen it for a few years, however, today I saw this. Town players taking a minute to sign autographs for the kids, not one Leicester player took the time, even though the kids were shouting them to come over. Wankers.

So I'm guessing
Hamer Smith Schindler Kongolo Durm Stankovic Hogg Mooy Pritchard Lowe Grant
Doesn't fill me with too much hope that.
Don't get why Bacuna has been dropped to the bench.
