Leicester have to win Tuesday.

Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:14 pm

If Leicester still believe they can go up Automatically they have to win Tuesday. 8 points behind second place with 10 games to go, Draws are no good for Leicester.

Hence I can not see Leicester coming and parking the bus and hitting us on the counter attack like most teams. Leicester will be coming at us from the off. Will this suit us?

After the weekends results a draw would not be a bad result leaving us a minimum of 6 points clear of 3rd. However a win would put us a minimum of 8 points clear of 3rd.

As Malky would say we are just focusing on the next game. :malky:

If leicester come out and play like this..we're going to have to revert to our away tactic of taking everything they throw at us and take our chances when they come! i've seen us do this at leicester and leeds...it ain't pretty but it works!

Agree. Leicester need to win, just like they did when we played them in the play off semi final a few years ago.

It's all set up for a very interesting match!

With Hudson hopefully back for this encounter pairing Turner then I'm sure that we can withstand them. Some people may be ok for a draw with this game but for me it has to be a win.

If Leicester lose or draw they can forget about Automatic.

If Leicester win all their 10 games they can achieve 88 points. If they lose Tuesday they will have to win their remaining 9 games to achieve 85 points. That will be a lot to ask and 85 points may not be enough for Automatic.

Hopefully we can get a result and it will then become a 2 out of 4 for Automatic. Twitchy arse time. :malky:

Leicester have bottled it.

They will come to play for a drawer and they now are concentrating on reserving a play off place. A draw will suit them fine against the top of the league team on their own patch. Also take into account they have one or two main players out then I can't see them going for it.

After just reading their messageboards you are probably right. They seem more concerned about making the play offs than Automatic. So perhaps Pearson will come and park the bus and be happy with a point.

Agree here, they probably have moved on from automatic hopes. They would be happy with a draw. Funny how their fans were the ones predicting Cardiff would bottle it.

As Saturday's results have shown anything can happen so I doubt they have given up on 2nd even if they feel 13 points might be too big a gap for first.

We just need to concentrate on our games from here on as it is in our own hands.
