Rowett almost has the right starting XI. Though the Foxes gaffer will have conundrums on his hands once playmakers Jordan James and Aaron Ramsey return to the side. Nevertheless, the current tactical blueprint remains tantalisingly close to fruition - but failing. Success is a fickle mistress in the EFL Championship.
Harry Winks, typically the heartbeat of the Leicester City transition, could find himself out of the side after a poor 50-60 minutes versus Sheffield Wednesday. His uncharacteristic lethargy and carelessness left a void that the Owls were all too eager to exploit.
Elsewhere, perhaps Stephy Mavididi or the burgeoning Divine Mukasa will make way for Ramsey's reintroduction. Hopefully the Manchester City loanee still starts, given his uncanny ability to weave himself or the ball through defensive installments.
Why Leicester City fans are indirectly calling for Jakub Stolarczyk to be dropped
Another area of profound concern to address is the goalkeeping department. Sadly for Jakub Stolarczyk, who appears actually committed to the City cause with a sincerity that is hard to fault, his overall performances and glaring mistakes should omit him from the lineup completely.
The Pole is so palpably nervous; exhibiting a crippling unwillingness to chase opponents from his line or claim even slightly awkward incoming crosses. There is a terrifying fragility to his play: he dangerously parries easy-to-catch shots and deliveries directly into the path of encroaching predators, a habit that is totally unacceptable at any professional goalie level.
The situation reached a crescendo as the Blue Army, losing patience with each fumbled gathering and dodgy moment, pointedly chanted the name of untrustworthy ex-Foxes stopper Danny Ward after several shaky Stolarczyk moments. This represents a real and present problem to the support.
"But there was a moment in the first half where, after a few wobbly moments from goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, fans started chanting Danny Ward’s name.Leicester Mercury
The intention was clear. Ward’s struggles in City’s 22-23 relegation campaign made him a pariah at the club. Chanting his name was telling Stolarczyk that he was struggling too."
Now the LE2 fan base have sent their manager a stern, harsh and unambiguous memo: the safety of the woodwork is non-negotiable with saftey remaining possible. Re-enter Asmir Begovic!
