I don’t think there will be many giving us a hope here, but the last 2 games makes me feel like we’ll make a fist of this whatever the outcome.
Hope Burgzorg is back fit as he was a big miss v Boro. (thanks to that pillock from Blackburn)

I think the players will be both mentally and physically tired with all the effort last night. Burgzorg seeing a specialist, so can't see him playing. I wonder if the squad will include one J. Rhodes?

Can we just forfeit the next two games and rest up?

Realistically despite the last 2 performances, we'll likely lose. The lack of players we have available, and the fact that for a few of the players this will more or less be 4 games playing the best part of 100 minutes in each of them in the space of what, 10 days, means physically and mentally we're likely fucked.
We need Leicester to have a massive off day and us to get lucky for us to get anything really

Wouldn't be the first time we've been to Leicester while being given no hope and come back with something. I recall a cup clash just weeks after we got a 6-1 thumping 11 years ago where we turned them over, and deservedly so.
That being said, I don't expect anything other than a loss. I take the view of anything we get being a bonus, and not to lose sleep over a defeat. I'll probably be heading out for the afternoon and just check the score at 5 o'clock to preserve my sanity. Same when we face Manchester City. It's not going to make or break our season. These two games are a chance to rotate in some places if we can and keep legs fresh after a lot of minutes in short order.
One suspects that Plymouth on the 13th will see some new/old faces in the squad.

I’m going more the day out and have very low expectations. Leicester are a very good side and are at home. We have had two great performances but look knackered. If we get anything it would be unbelievable.

Leicester have won 10 and lost 2 at home with no draws, Leeds, Hull, think we will be victims number 11.
3 - 0 Leicester.

They were lucky to sneak past us at our ground, but this will be a convincing walloping.
4-0 minimum.

I think we will put on a brave show even create a few chances but not put any away . I can see them grabbing a goal towards the end of the first half and then kill the game off towards the end of the second half.

Will be a big but not impossible ask to get anything from this. We don’t really have the option to rotate many players unless we want to give starts to Hudlin, Austerfield Ayina etc and hope they take their chance. Hoping Vardy has a big house party tonight that gets out of hand.

Only thing I could think of being any sort of 'leveller' is it's the last of the Xmas fixtures crammed together but even that will probably affect us more than them with our thin squad so a bit straw clutching.
They have shown so far they are a bit too good for the championship so not expecting anything from this one despite apparent improvements in our performance last couple of games.
