Leicester City 0-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
27 January 2009

City captain Matt Oakley was voted the best player in Leicester's 0-0 draw at home to Micky Adams' Brighton & Hove Albion. An battling away performance from Brighton limited Leicester's opportunities and in a frustrating night for the fans, only four players mustered a rating above a 6. City keeper David Martin finished behind Oakley in second place with centre backs Jack Hobbs and Michael Morrison tied in third.

Veteran striker Paul Dickov had his chance with Steve Howard absent but put in a dire performance which earned him one of the lowest individual ratings of the season. Out-of-form winger Lloyd Dyer was a way above Dickov but was still voted the second poorest player on the pitch with striker Matty Fryatt also in the bottom three.
