Our collective xG is 0.13 and we’ve got one cross into the box all half. If we’re going to criticise Simms let’s at least recognise that he hasn’t been provided with anything constituting an actual goal scoring opportunity. If you think he’s going to beat 3 defenders and lash it in from 25 yard you’re going to have a hard time watching him all season.

The service for our strikers has not been great. Godden and Simms do not appear to be strikers who can fashion chances themselves. Wright will be an important addition if his style of play is similar to Gyokeres.

Decent first half. Would bring van Ewijk on.

Another great save by Wilson, although it was straight at him.

We’re not playing with the width to get balls in the box. Need MVE or Tatsu to fire the balls in.

I think some players also think Vik is still up front.

It was an easy save - he should have put in the other side - best chance of the game

Two things. Their goalie is absolutely dreadful, we have to put him under pressure.

Bobby Thomas is going to be a monster for us

Really encouraging first half. Very happy!

We look a good outfit. So much to like about Simms. He's just not quite there yet. We need to be patient. I think he could be massive for us when it all clicks.

Would like to see wright for godden personally second half.

Bobby Thomas has been sensational. Lati and mcfadz too. Impressed with JDS too. Sheaf started slow but got better.

Keep it up city! We can win this!

Just play it into Simms feet, not in behind. Give him a chance to find his touch at least

A lot of really heavy touches out there, but Lesta look really fragile at the back. There for the taking

Decent against a far superior side on paper. Like the defence, bit powder puff up front. Going to be good this year

We've done okay at the back and limited them to very little, but when we do get the ball we are far too sloppy and either misplace passes or get robbed of possession too easily.

Over all though, we've done alright I think.

Not a bad half for us!
We contained them well.
Simms has got to get better, looks slow and awkward.
Thomas looks great.

Thomas very good so far. Latti looks very calm. Sheaf not at his best.

Probably played out how you'd expect. Leicester have bags of individual quality and pace. First goal will be crucial.

Not a bad half that. Bit sloppy in patches which is expected first game back but considering opposition can’t complain

Leicester are better than us, as you’d expect them to be, not exactly a surprise. But yeah, Simms is garbage and needs binning- 44 mins into the season

No one said he needs binning you melt.


But he has had a piss poor half.
On the plus side he can only get better.

Yes, are you or have you forgotten you're not watching Gyokeres?

We've been decent enough, with better execution we could be ahead.

I'm hoping with Simms we'll see a Gyokeres-esque transformation from a clumsy cumbersome looking player to a powerhouse.

Palmer definitely improving as the game’s gone on. Simms just doesn’t seem to be playing with confidence which is surprising considering he has good experience at this level last season and a decent preseason. Bobby Thomas making a good first impression and a great save at the end. Feel like we’re playing our way into the game hopefully a good talk from Robins can kick us up a notch or two which I think is all it will take based on Leicesters first half performance.

Yes, I know. That's how she's saying it. And as a Dutch national, Ms Meulensteen would probably know how to pronounce it corrently.

Why are you challenging me when I'm saying the same as you ?


<shakes head>Too many on here just want any reason to start an argument. Congratulations, you won today's forum prize.

Hugely impressed with Thomas

That was a very mature first half performance from a top championship side and Leicester looked ok too

Need to keep concentration and simms needs to wake up

Substitutions will win this game
