Be nice to take a point.3 would be even better,but realistically a draw on the cards.

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.

Sadly this is my thinking too.

Unfortunately I have a dreadful record of watching Brighton or England away (in competitive fixtures) and today is my second away game this season... the other being Fulham. Apologies in advance

Would be very happy with a clean sheet but whatever tonight's result, 3 wins in final 6 home games should see us OK especially if we pick up a few extra points along the way.

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

I disagree as they will see that game as their last chance to avoid relegation so will be well up for it. If they win that will not be a disaster for us as they are so far behind us. Our big game is v Cardiff with Southampton and Newcastle just behind in importance.

Making the short journey over soon. Not feeling as optimistic as I was a few days ago.

Team will be

Ryan

Bong - Dunk - Duffy - Montoya

Knockaert - Propper - Stephens - March

Gross

Murray.

I hope I am wrong, and I would like to think that after 1 and 3/4's seasons in the Premier League, we could have fielded a better team than one that contains 7 players from the Championship promotion team.

Everyone beats Huddersfield, they are in the Championship already. If we don't, then [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] is right. It would be a BIG psychological blow to the team.

So you think a demoralising defeat against the worst team in the league with 1 away win all season who have taken 1 point from the last 14 games wouldn't be a disaster, OK then

Which should be easy for CH to overcome and lift the players, especially if beaten by Huddersfield

I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to say but if you are suggesting it won’t be a problem for CH to rally the troops after losing to Huddersfield, I think you may be losing it.

A loss tonight and a loss on Saturday would be very hard to come back from not “easy” as you seem to be suggesting.
