Weird how these stats and ratings have come about.

Toth made 2 excellent, match winning saves and yet he only got 6.8/10? 

Keepers never get the credit (or blame) they're due in these sorts of things.

[Ossydave]

Randomly seem to have a decent record at the KP and picked up results there last few times I've been. 

Alas, I'm working on Saturday so won't be making it a hatty. 

1-1 draw my prediction, decent on paper I suppose but doesn't help us much jn the grand scheme of things....

Ainsley Pears would like a word 🤣

One of my team at work is a Leicester fan and he's been really pessimistic all season about them.

They've lost a lot of quality in the summer and lots of discontent there.

Might not be the worst time to play them.
But then, this is Rovers.

[philipl]

Very little special about the current Leicester side. 

The questions are all about Rovers and VI motivating us. I have seen enough to know we can win this relatively comfortably and that we could easily get hammered. 

Almost certainly we will need Toth to be on the top of his game. 

A bad start and the Southampton feel good factor will totally evaporate.

My player of the month

Anyone else that think Ohashi reminds them of Paul Dickov? 🙂

What have you seen to suggest we could win this "fairly comfortably?"

None of our wins have been comfortable.

You forget, there's  very little special about Rovers at the moment. It was a decent fightback against Southampton, and I hope the momentum continues against Leicester.

Hull away not comfortable one?

Sorry, you are right.

Although that feels like a long time ago and crucially we had Hyam in the team and Hull's squad had been struck down by illness.

Either way, there seems very little to suggest that we will go to Leicester and win comfortably.

Doesn't what the situation was. Its was comfortable win that day.

Both work hard, but I suspect centre halves prefer playing against Ohashi a lot more than they did with Dickov. Ohashi doesn't have that nasty, competitive streak.

I was actually thinking of the first half at Coventry.

When we failed to score and then went on to lose by 2 goals?

But you again overlook that first half we were comfortable and playing well

He said win comfortably, which believe it or not Chaddy requires goals, multiple goals!

Except you were talking about the  Coventry game

Phillip mentioned it first and I could see his point

2-1 Rovers. Carbon copy game. Ohashi, Gudjohnsen to score

[roversfan99]

How many points did we get for playing fairly well in one half of a game?

And we lost 2 nil, how can that strengthen the idea that we go to Leicester and win comfortably.

Just like yourself finding excuses for our comfortable win at Hull

[Old Codger]

Can't see us getting anything other than a good thrashing here.

I think VI should make all the players wear that ridiculous headgear that Yuki donned after his minor surgery last weekend.

We could be DEVO rovers.

Or we could just play football.
