[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

I’m going into town

Leicester are on a dreadful run of form, and when we turn up, we are invariably the perfect antidote. Seen it time and time again.

Against a team low on confidence we should be looking to start positively, press high and take the game to them, just like we did at West Ham. However, I think I know whats coming. Surrender the initiative in an attempt to stay solid, maybe have a go in the last 20 if we're hopefully no more than 1 down by then.

That 1-1 at the Amex still rankles, after being 1 up and playing for an hour against 10 men. They'll remember what a passive soft touch we were in that 2nd half. My money's on a standard 2-0 defeat. PLEASE let me be wrong.

This is my worry, we will set up not to concede and let Leicester come at us, this will get the crowd excited, we will sit deeper and deeper and end up conceding as Leicester confidence grows roared on by the crowd

Vardy on fire and Schmeichel having a blinder when we do get chances.

Please feel free to bounce me later, love it if you would. Win tonight and we are staying up

Big game fingers crossed we win!

Time and again this squad comes good, just when you think they're about to hit rock bottom. Fingers crossed for tonight

This might be true at home but definitely not away. How many away games have we won in the Premier League?

A message to the 3,300 travelling supporters tonight, our team needs you, now more than ever. Shout yourselves hoarse and get right behind the boys from the first whistle in what could be a season defining game.

From someone who is normally pessimistic about our chances away from home, I am feeling quietly confident about this encounter..

I do not see today or Saturday as must win games for different reasons a defeat o day will still leave us clear of relegation and Huddersfield are so far behind that a defeat then would not be drastic. I would settle for a win at either or even 2 draws. The important games are at home Cardiff ,Southampton , Newcastle and away to Palace all are must not lose games with a win in any being a bonus especially Cardiff, that is the biggie.

So we may go into the game without a striker in the squad, I would take a point now

Maybe I'm just retarded, but isn't a win anywhere worth 3 points? And presumably a home game against basically relegated Huddersfield must be about our best chance of picking up said win. Surely it is therefore the very definition of a must win?

Anything other than 3 points against Huddersfield would be mentally damaging for everybody, players and fans. Saturday is this seasons pivotal game IMO

Just getting ready to leave, feel as if I should be going to Grace Road rather than the King Power given warm weather currently

Where is Adam Virgo when you need him?

Precisely my fears too.

Win tonight and we are staying up

Lose tonight, and we're still staying up (just a lot more nervy and not quite so certain about it; but - we're expected to lose this one (I'm going for 4-0) and we'll still be ahead of the tracker).

Time and again this squad comes good, just when you think they're about to hit rock bottom.

That's the Leicester squad, I presume? Especially as they're playing against the go-to team for any club needing to end a disastrous run.

You wouldn't have thought that would need explaining.
