How to beat Leicester & why

[The Red Baron]

That's certainly a defensive line up TRB.

But since a draw might well be enough for us, it's probably not bad thinking.

Assuming its the same personnel available as last week, I might tweak that to

               Johnstone
Tamas Quinn Miete Stevens
          Keegan Furman
Robinson Copps Cottrill
               Brown

Sharp and Hopefully Wellens for options. I wouldn't risk De Val in such an important fixture. I don't like Keegan and Furman together but hopefully Coppinger could bring some creativity to the middle allowing them to concentrate on stopping everything.

RD- Furman is not by nature a defensive midfielder. He was much more effective last season when he had licence to get forward.

I can understand why you might not trust De Val for a game like this. As an alternative you could use Neill if he is fit. A bloke who has been around the block and would know how to do a job screening the back four.

To be honest with you I'm not really convinced about Furman at all. Maybe Neill or McCombe but that's a risk. It's not good having to experiment in a game like this but I'd be inclined to take those risks further forward. Robinson can play wide and offers us pace, Copps has played in the middle before.
