Another enforced absence for me. Two Saturday’s on the trot

Cullen at ten. Widell off the bench if Cullen isn’t working. Give Key a rest and play Galbraith at RB. Yalcouyé and Franco as two in the middle. Don’t care who starts out of Vip or Idah, swap them if it’s not flowing. Don’t be afraid of Leicester. Thank you please.

Galbraith at RB needs to be done aswell as Cullen at 10. I hope there is no stubbornness in not changing the formation and playing a 10 because it's clear that change in formation is needed.
Looking at the bench, it's debatable but it looks to be the strongest bench we have had in the champ since relegation from the Prem.

We can't be giving Leicester too much respect going into this one, if we do then it's game over before kick off.....if Wrexham can go there and pick up a point then we need to be going into this with confidence in our own backyard.

I think I've finally settled on our strongest lineup, and it's this, with Yalcouye in for Cullen. Happy for Cullen to start at the weekend following last night, but moving forward, hope to see more of Yalcouye (and Widdell). Franco offers much more on the ball than Stamenic, so it's not a horrendously stodgy midfield, but they're both as good as it gets off the ball in this league.

Catches the eye how much stronger our bench is compared to last season, Eom, Benson, Idah, and Yalcouye are all potential gamechangers

I just can’t see him dropping Key

 

[JackFish]

Agree with the suggestions of needing someone playing as more of a 10 than we’ve had recently. Cullen maybe deserves a go there after his goal last night but also happy for it to be Yalcouye.

I would also prefer Franco & Galbraith as the midfield 2, think they give us more going forward than Stamenic, but can definitely see the appeal of moving EG to right back given Key’s form recently. If we do that then would prefer Franco & Yalcouye as the deep 2.

Something is currently going wrong with Leicester's midfield and attack because they've had only one shot on target in each of their last two games. Given that our keeper is outstanding I can't see them scoring. A comfortable 2 - 0 win for the Swans.

Do you seriously think Leicesters shots on target in their last two games is going to have any bearing on our match? Im fascinated as to how you feel confident to make such precise predictions on so little evidence. Got to love the internet.

Me neither, and my suggestion is probably an indication as to why I’m not a football manager.

It suggests they aren't creating that much so yes it could have a massive bearing on the outcome.

Leicester drawn their last 4 against different sorts of teams. Hard to see it being a walk over like they’ve done to us in the past but they’ll still be dangerous and we’ll have to watch out for their wingers against Key and Tymon. If we’re at our best I think we can get something from this one.

Big news was getting a positive contribution from Idaho - he looks like a confidence player to me!

I'd be really impressed with Sheehan if he puts out a side with 10 men AND we still win 2-0...
