This thread seems as good a place as any, to ask if anything has been heard from Footy since the Chelsea game?  We know he was going to the game. Hope he's alright.

I hope he was in with the Chelsea fans, which I assume he was as he said it was a Chelsea contact he was going with. I think he might have found our travelling contingent a bit much. As do I, to be honest.

The corresponding thread to this on Foxes Talk is funny, 9 pages of how much we're going to tear them a new one and how shit their own support is, though they do perk up on hearing of Rogers demise.

And me. Missing his insight.

It birthed Sue Townsend, for that alone, I'm grateful.

*Just googled her to confirm that, and it just happens to be the 9th anniversary of her passing today.

You can do a Sue Townsend based walking tour.

Good value too at £13.75.

Will have played to loathsome Blue teams in 4 days.

Hopefully a similar result to Saturday.

They could have 'No Old Manager Bounce' which makes it tricky, however, I have faith in us again. We owe them, big time.

We need at least a three goal margin of victory too, I'm not happy with having a negative goal difference.

Two wins from the two games this week and the table could look very interesting. 

We had a stinker against these at home, so would be good to get some pay back.

Yep, we handed them four goals on a plate. I think we definitely shouldn't be starting Kamara, whether it's the injury or whatever, but he was miles off it yesterday.

The no manager bounce thing is a concern, Brentford have been pretty much flawless this season except for one game.

Going from SG to any other manager was an upgrade. Say what you will about BR, the man is a proper manager. I can't imagine anyone coming in on the interim to fill his boots on a short week will do better.

3-1 to the Villa.

They have some outstanding individual players (Maddison / Barnes) both of who i would snap their hands off for if  / when they go. But they are down there for a reason and that reason is they score too few but concede loads.

Score first (I know we had the lead twice at VP) and i cannot see anything but a win - which is a rare occasion.

I just think we will be aching to put right the terrible mistakes we made against these at VP

Anyone else complaining on letting Ings go?

Ah, thirteen and three quarters, very good. Should have known, that Brazillian...
