Academy Fall To Bristol

Leicester City's under 18 side went down 3-2 at the hands of Bristol City on Saturday.

The Foxes went into the game top of the Academy table - with five wins from their opening eight fixtures.

But City would go down to a strong Bristol side which contained the maximum number of overage players.

The Robins scored twice early on, but Andy King managed to get a goal back for the visitors ahead of the break.

Matt Goodwin then made it 2-2 after the restart, and the game looked to be heading fro a draw before Bristol grabbed the winner form the penalty spot with just two minutes of the game remaining.

Speaking after the contest, Academy director Jon Rudkin said: "It was a scrappy game. Both of their early goals came from set pieces, which was again disappointing for us.

"Bristol had a physical advantage over us, and you would expect that because they were using their full quota of overage players.

"At 2-2 it looked as though the game was going to be a draw. But we conceded a late penalty and that was again disappointing."

It would appear that a lot of their goals, like the first team are conceeded from set pieces, this is becoming endemic to LCFC.

Down to the coaching again or are we playing younger, smaller players all the time.?

[cisono]

Probably too young !!!

Chambers and Mattock wouldn't have been playing, as they played the night before for England. Otherwise I reckon we'd have leathered them.

Hmmm not good. But it should be something that is potentially "easily" fixed?

Perhaps these (younger) players lacked experience?
