I assumed he didn't give the EMC penalty, not because of the contact, but because he felt the ball was too close to the keeper already?

Only because he was fouled.

That's bollocks..... watch them in slow-motion..... if either of them were given against us we'd be furious.

No complaints if they were given against us, intent matters little if you bundle down a player in the box.

No different to that Dasilva red card last season, tangled legs but correct decision was a foul and red card.

Bringing a player down with your head means no penalty. They’ve been giving stupid penalties away for years, why didn’t they know sooner?!

You'd be happy if that was given against us then i take it.

Its debatable whether someone's head knocking into your leg is enough to send someone legitimately to the floor anyway (lets not forget EMC threw himself to the floor at least once on the wing in the 2nd half). It was just a 50/50

Phil Jones must have known this when he went for the headed clearance off the ground. Safest method apparently

Ive not seen it but if its as you described then yeah, if you trip a player in the box its a pen.

Brilliant second half performance. It was a derby performance then and that's what we needed togne tout think funk. Real fight and grit shown

Leicester are a good team despite their issues. Their wingers looked scary as fuck but I'm so proud of how our own wingers did today

Rudoni is getting back to where we want him and 2 goals for our strikers. Wright especially played like what all the fans want him too game in game out

Lati once again showing what a brilliant squad player he is and kithcing deserves so much respect

Rushworth some quality saves again

Was it perfect? No. Was it a damn good win? Hell yeah

PUSB!

I was convinced Wright was offside for the goal and was yelling "you stupid dickhead" whilst everyone was celebrating, tbqh

Fatawu made some odd decisions at times but I have to say it was clear to me that him and James are 2 of the standout players I've seen against us this season. If they lose them they are in big trouble.

Gut feeling was he was off, replays confirmed he wasn't. Agree the ref was desperate to disallow it though.

Second half the fight and spirit we shown was exactly what I wanted to see. We put it all over them and they didnt want it.


Same for the fans, atmosphere was fantastic today. Pleased as punch. Im off for a tug

James is wasted there, not sure why his club hasn't recalled him and sent him out somewhere better.

Don’t think the Wright one was a pen and he should have just stayed on his feet and buried it. EMC one probably was for me. Footnote : Dasilva should have been sent off again - he’s got to watch his tackling.

Thought Leicester looked leggy on 60 minutes and fitness was one our of strongest attributes when the season started. I believe a fully match fit squad will get enough wins to bring the promotion home

Would imagine there’s a loan fee involved which usually negates the recall option.

They couldn't handle the intensity after half time, that's been missing from our play for ages.

All our subs are in contention. We have great strength in deoth

All we ever desperately needed was wingers in numbers. Trolls have created this narrative that recruitment has been bad when it clearly hasn't been

Also saka and wright made bigger contributions than Eccles. Eccles was decent but he's only got a shout out cos he's home grown I think
