Nice to have won the last M69 Derby for a while.

 

[Gint11]

Thought Wright was brilliant when he came on. Looked right up for it. That’s all we ask

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Latibeaudiere is our best defender. Fight me.

On merit ahead of wolf

 

[Esoterica]

How easy is that
Great win that
Lati mom

Rushworth for me. Great finger tip save first half, the tightest Cruyff turn you'll ever see and a couple of very good blocks 2nd half too!

 

[Nick]

The EMC one is stonewall.

Yeah no intention at all to get the ball.

 

[JSL]

Fantastic result. So pleased we pulled that back

 

[shmmeee]

On merit ahead of wolf

Can actually defend and not just do wrestling moves on their forward too

 

[SBT]

Opta chances of promotion up to 90.42%

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

6pts clear of 2nd
8pts clear of 3rd

 

[Shannerz]

Latibeaudiere is our best defender. Fight me.

He was giving me kittens with his distribution.

Too often playing hospital passes to players.

 

[Esoterica]

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?

 

[steve101]

Ref didn't realise that if you take out a player with your body in the penalty area that it still counts!!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Opta chances of promotion up to 90.42%

From??

 

[Tommo1993]

Latibeaudiere could bag a couple of own goals and people would still rate him.

See what happens when you play a CM alongside Grimes in the middle. It sures up the midfield and makes it difficult for the opposition to create chances. In the first half our midfield were too high up the pitch and were all at sea.

I didn’t comment much during the game a) because I was watching it, and b) because people, you really need to stop losing your shit at the first sign something happens you don’t like

there were loads of positives, including the fact we’ve beaten a decent team when not playing at 100%, but also BTA looked good when he came on, I thought Haji looked very good off the ball too and definitely up for it, Esse will be just what we need, and even Lati after the first shaky ten or so looked strong.

Simms strong, and scored, EMC upped his game,
Rudoni got better as the game went on….

let’s see what the next few games bring, but in my opinion as long as nothing catastrophic happens we’ll be just fine 🩵

 

[Skybluefaz]

Latibeudiere was superb that last 20. If ever you need a player to tough it out, he is the man.

Unless you are playing Norwich away

Too often playing hospital passes to players.

I think he was nervous with his passing initially but then got better and better

 

[mrfr]

Fuck Leicester. Tinpot club, shithole town, best player is from Cov, kit looks shit, crap owner, crap stadium, crap season. I hope they enjoy their points deduction and their trip to Stockport County next season.

 

[glasgowfan]

Will we ever get a penalty!

I forecast a last-minute pen last game of the season to clinch promotion

 

[Balli001]

6pts clear of 2nd
8pts clear of 3rd

Cant be right. Was told on here yesterday we had blown it.....

 

[MacReady]

Cue the usual comments from Leicester fans: acting like you’ve won the cup etc…

no we’re acting like a team that has a fraction of your wage budget and still won

See what happens when you play a CM alongside Grimes in the middle. It sures up the midfield and makes it difficult for the opposition to create chances. In the first half our midfield were too high up the pitch and were all at sea.

have to say, Dan Neil alongside Grimes with the ability to play Torp higher up, or bring him on depending on the game, would be the last piece of the jigsaw I think

Passing isn’t defending. Next.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Well, thank fuck for that. Really pulled our fingers out in the second half, whatever Lampard said or did at halftime clearly worked.

I was saying to the guy next to me at halftime that the reason I was so angry is that I could tell this lot are shit, they're weak, they'll wilt if we stand up to them or go at them and that's what ultimately happened. After Simms' goal they looked bothered and rattled, and we managed to see it through.

Fair fucking play to Wright. Looked like the wrecking machine version of himself we've all missed and made a huge difference. Thrilled he got such a big goal and hopefully that will sort his confidence. Rushworth an utter legend for holding firm at the end too.

Oh, and having said similar after the Birmingham match: I am now convinced that no referee will ever give a penalty for anything other than a defender taking out an attacker with their feet. It really does seem to be that you can do whatever you want with an attacker who is goalside of you as long as you don't use your feet, both the Wright and EMC shouts looked stonewall.

Unless you are playing Norwich away

Please mate, let me enjoy today yeah?

 

[Shannerz]

Passing isn’t defending. Next.

It is when it puts your team right back into trouble.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Showed some real bollocks second half. Could’ve easily crumbled but all the big players stepped up when it mattered

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

I think he was nervous with his passing initially but then got better and better

He's default pass seems to always be backwards- what's annoying is he played that sweeping 60 yard pass out to the left 1st half, so he has it in his locker.

 

[mrfr]

I love how sombre the Sky pundits are whenever we win. What did we do to make Jobi McAnuff hate us?!

 

[TomRad85]

Lampard has some serious questions to answer.
Question 1: "Frank, why are you such a fucking legend?"

 

[steve101]

Latibeaudiere is our best defender. Fight me.

The fact he isn't quick and he isn't tall shows that he has a lot of top defensive attributes. He reads the game very well, uses his strength and springs well. I think he has a great attitude as well.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Big big 3 points Simmo getting his goal, I'm a Haji Wright fan so I'm so happy he got his goal! Hopefully he goes on a run now

 

[SkyblueTexan]

They lost 3-0

Crap I thought it was a 3 pm kickoff.
