- We 100% need a new CM, the drop off to Eccles and Kelly is too big.
- Thomas looked good, but lost concentration for their 1st
- MVE and Simms will come good
- gOdDeN iS tHe BeSt FiNiSHer aT da cLuB
- Wright's pace looks very exciting. Encouraging that he looked to run with the ball.

And hamer want really lagging imo.

Argh.

As soon as Hamer goes off you know it's a draw or a loss. That's clear his importance.

I thought Sheaf was lagging. To be honest I would of taken Simms and Gooden off and stuck Sakamoto with Palmer behind Wright

I have nothing positive to say for Leicester - they 'may ' find it a struggle

oscillatewildly · Aug 6, 2023

Sheaf, Godden and Sir Robins should be responsible for kit laundry after this one.

BrisbaneBronco · Aug 6, 2023

Disappointed but not angry. Played well and Goddens missed chances cost us. We will win more than we lose if we keep playing like that.

Once we've completed our recruitment, I can't see Simms or Godden getting in the starting line up.

Eventually it will be Wright and a.n.other.

San Francisco · Aug 6, 2023

Tactical changes from both sides and Godden missing his chances gifted them the game IMO but plenty of positives to take from this. Can't complain too much considering they're essentially a lite Premier League team at home with ridiculous depth and financial capability and we made them look pedestrian in the second half.
Once the new players are bedded in and confident we'll be a real force.
We've also got a few more players coming in I reckon to add depth and quality.

Gint11 · Aug 6, 2023

Not impressed with Leicester or their home fans atmosphere. Library.

Wilson didn’t have much to do at all.
We’ll be fine this season.

Not really if godden had scored when he had the ball from the bar we’d have likely won

stupot07 · Aug 6, 2023

We were far too narrow. Palmer's average position is further forward than Simms. Far too much work left for sheaf and Hamer in the middle.

We have to keep Hamer. It’s as simple as that. He lifts everyone’s performance levels.

Was great to be there today and our fans are on another level. The Leicester fans were utter garbage. Prawn sandwich brigade.

right where do i start. Simms useless, da silva has no positional awareness, palmer not fit, kelly basically a waste of space.
Positives- eccles motm, wright looks like a good player and will score goals, Thomas looks comfortable on the ball, sheaf class, godden created chances but unlucky not to score

Simms had a better game than Godden ffs.

No chance. Simms will start most games. MR won't buy a player for 8m just to leave him on the bench.

southern_comfort · Aug 6, 2023

A lot of positives today, the subs definitely weakened the team and gave Leicester the control of midfield and helped them push on to the win. A lot of good sides will go to the KPS and get turned over this season. we held our own for spells of the game and I believe we are going to have a good season into the play offs at least, The only worry is when Hamer eventually does leave we are weaker and MK has his work cut out for when that happens.

It’ll be Simms and Wright as the front two, hopefully with another striker brought in as backup.

covcity4life · Aug 6, 2023

I think just 5 more mins we may have got a second.

Oh man fingertip save too. We were so close

But looking forward to Simms and wright partnership for sure.

djr8369 · Aug 6, 2023

Gutting not to see that out but take a lot of positives from that considering Leicester are expected to be champions by many.

New signings generally very positive although a few will take time to gel with the team and a few will take time to adapt to the league.

Biggest difference though, aside from Gus coming off, was stamina. Palmer was dead on his feet from 70 mins and most of the rest of the squad at 80. Not sure if that’s preseason starting late or Leicester having prem staff and facilities or what.

He played really well, he didn't put away his chances but his movement and hold up play was brilliant. Honestly hate the scapegoating

Don't agree, looked devoid of confidence and his efforts for the 2nd and 3rd chane were atrocious.

I've been a big supporter of him but that just wasn't good enough..

This shows how easily they got down our flanks. But doesn’t explain the acres of space we kept giving them in the middle.

Think Wright looks capable of dropping deeper but was impressed with Simms hold up second half.

I did think after Exeter we'd have benefited from another friendly, and the rustiness in the first 20-25 minutes showed that.

Yeah definitely, came away feeling more positive for us than for them, they knicked it today from individual brilliance from a player who may be elsewhere in September, also not sure the Man City style of play suits players like their GK, Faes and Vestergaard in particular who looked vulnerable. Also don’t see the hype around Mavididi, who looked bang average for 90% of the game, running down blind alleys and unnecessary tricks etc.,

Iheanacho and second half KDH changed the game for them. We should’ve been out of sight before they even had 1.

Are you talking about Simms or Godden? I think FP meant Simms.

The cup game midweek will be useful minutes for some of the second string.

He'll be kicking himself for his decision making but he'll come good with time.

We've been doing that for ages, I hilighted it the season before last.
We get away with it against a lot of teams.

I would start a strong XI and then bring on the squad players on the hour. These players need more minutes together on the pitch.

Had two or three good chances after he went off didn't we?
