3 players have stood out for being poor. March Richards and the number 5. They have lost the ball at every opportunity and March has been really bad. Even the simple things seem to be a problem for him. Have to give him a chance though he has been out a while and the conditions are dreadful. Our best player is Gwardis. Unfortunately we don’t appear to have anyone near the first team in midfield.

That's because they are out on loan.

You should also keep an eye on Teddy Jenks.

Ouch, nearly a goal in the first 20 seconds there. That Leicester striker looks a bit useful, he's been giving our defence grief all game

Still not working even if you press that red circle first, which fills it in with red.

Working now but only after logging out and back in again.

When people post on these matches that are being viewed online can you help by mentioning the score and how long has gone.

Final score: 1-0 to the Foxes.

Much better performance in the second-half, deserved to find an equaliser, and almost did on numerous occasions.

Decent opposition and terrible conditions, so you can't criticise too much, but on the other hand you can't ignore that we were very loose in possession especially in the first half and second to too many balls throughout the game.

I just don't see the benefit of having Crofts in there. Maybe he has good leadership skills etc and can talk young players through the game, but I can't see how that benefit outweighs giving another young midfielder experience.

Terrific save by the Leicester keeper from O'Hora at the end

Very similar to watching the first team, including being fairly lacklustre in the final third - passing and dribbling backwards and forwards across the opponents D instead of taking a shot or getting the ball into the danger zone. They should have equalised at the end.

Went along this evening so got cold and wet for my troubles. The wind was incredible and kept catching the ball and blowing it away. Whilst Leicester were the stronger team they weren't constantly bothering McGill and apart from their goal only had a couple of moments where they looked like they might score. Got to remember our "senior" under23s all seem to be out of loan and this side is all quite young really.
