Bartley - 8, just lost out on MOM to Reid
Lowton -6.5 did ok

Yeates - 8, cracking free kick and well up for it!
Britton - 6, bit over-run
Reid - 9, ran the show, class.
Quinn - 6, ran all night but wouldn't tackle Naughton...?

Cresswell - 6 huffed and puffed

Subs;

Boggy - 0, wore a fuckin scarf!

Thanks Torrix.
Don't often read what you say, but can stare at your avatar for hours.

Torrix - did we play with ten men?!!! You forgot Monty!

Sky Sports News reckon it was harsh when it went live to them for the goal update. Typical. Bet we wouldn't have got it as the visitors. What am I saying? We wouldn't have got it full stop!

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

All the reports and quotes from Leicester players say it was harsh. Homer decision by a weak and inexperienced ref unfortunately.

 

[ListerBlade]

it was harsh, mate who i traveled with is a Leicester fan and he said they were very lucky and he'd be real pissed off if that decision went against them.

thought we were chasing shadows and not looking great until the goal when we seemed to come alive. definitely an improvement. cressy was completely ineffective.

 

[SwissBlade]

Britton - 6, bit over-run

Seems to be happening a lot more frequently

Boggy - 0, wore a fuckin scarf!

Oh deary me. I'd suggest he should never play again based on that comment

Yeates - 8, cracking free kick and well up for it

Good to see he's growing in stature.

Reid - 9, ran the show, class.

This is what I was hoping to hear. Did he play through the middle?

A real positive and if we can get him to last the 90 then he could be a very effective signing. Can we extend his loan I wonder?

 

[Toronto Blade]

You can bet they will make sure we get a penalty but it will come at a time when it won't make any difference to the outcome of the game.
My guess would be in the 92 minute when we are already ahead 2-0.

 

[Bath Blade]

when we are already ahead 2-0.

That'll be a couple of years away then.

I was down the other end, but couldn't see the pen very clearly, but it looked iffy to a lot of the City fans.

Thought the foul for their free kick at the start wasn't, but I knew it was in before he hit it.

Once we equalised, we played pretty well, but Leicester were there for the taking in the second half, and I was disappointed that we didn't try and put them under a bit more pressure. I can't recall their keper having to make a real save in the second half.

The other concern was our inability to clear the bloody ball. too many weak headers and Nos must be entirely made of angles

If I'd been offered a point at 7:45, I'd've taken it, but that felt a bit like a defeat.

 

[beightonblade]

I'm happy with a point after the last few months,pleased for Gary and lets hope it gives the players and him some confidence.
Yer never know McWobblegob might invest in some quality players!

anybody point me to the smiley list ?

What you taken BB? Whatever it is, post some to lenners would you!

 

[SteelCity Blade]

Sounded like a good performance last night. Desperately cruel to drop 2 points right at the end to what sounds like a questionable decision, at best!

More of the same on Saturday and against Palace might do the trick. If we keep plugging away at it and can avoid opportunities where refs can stitch us up.....we might start to move in the right direction.

At least they're showing some fight and that's the main thing at the moment.

 

[DazBlade88]

Never a penalty in a million years. He didn't handball it, but even if he did, the referee was in no position to see it. He gave it because the crowd shouted and he shit himself. I'm still seething.

We did quite well once we settled down last night. In the first 15 minutes I thought we were in for a pasting but once we sorted ourselves we didn't look bad. Reid was absolutely class, even though he's lacking a bit of match fitness. Yeates' free kick looked fantastic, can't wait to see that on TV.

 

[GAZBLADE]

Never a penalty in a million years. Encouraging performance?? Absolutely!
Leicester will only get better under Sven and with their finances, there won't be many teams take three points from their place. We were seconds away, so, i'm chuffed with that performance.
I believe we'll take the positives from that game into the Millwall match, where we'll smash 'em!!
Cresswell poor again for me. Despite the girly scarf, give Boggy a start.
COYRWW

I say Ched to start, Reid was looking for that killer ball all night but there was no runner, Ched likes it to his feet so let's see if he can do it with a ball playing midfielder....

Looks like the BBC agree that the refs are against us, took this off their website

"Paul Gallagher's free-kick gave City an early lead after Kyle Bartley was fouled on the edge of the area."

Whilst that comment was probably mis-phrased, it no doubt inadvertently tells the truth!

Nothing inconsistent about that!!
