[trabuch]

Both Benkovic and Soyoncu have played very decent long balls forward in this match.

Simpson played in a friendly yesterday, assume loads in that as well

[TrentFox]

Johnson is one serious unit!

He's pretty crap though unfortunately

[Bossman Blessed It]

Although not a lot to go on, Benkovic looks very comfortable and seems to fit our style of play really well. Quite like him to have a chance at Leicester this season rather than being loaned out. 

[trabuch]

Dodgy pen

[AKCJ]

Shite pen Admiral.

[LCFC1996]

[lcfcell]

Think we will keep him here. So many games and by the looks of things, very little money to spend. Plus Evans' suspension and Wes' heavy legs!

[Guest the fox]

Good display from the young guys but I wasn't too impressed with any of them. There are still more games to prove themselves in preseason.

 

The 3rd kit is nice.

[PhillippaT]

Shame Admiral couldn't sink their battleship

[Stadt]

The standard of pressing has been pleasing. We allowed teams very little time and space September-December and it’s no coincidence we dropped off performance wise when we lacked the energy 

[Ric Flair]

Was hoping Terell Pennant and Callum Wright might be involved today.

It's not over though...

[Leicester_Loyal]

I think Benkovic will stay here this season, can't see him being loaned out.

Normally we do start pre-season with two friendlies back-to-back over 2 days, with the first-team squad split in two, so it would stack up the missing players played in that.

[StanSP]

Dewsbury-Hall shone in 2nd half. 

 

Good run out for a lot of players. 

 

[AKCJ]

Great half from Dewsbury-Hall. Wonder what the plan is with him this season. Championship club maybe?

85th minute (at the time I posted). 2-0 up in preseason. I doubt players will do more than ride the game out or have much time to display their abilities.

[lcfcell]

Dewsbury-Hall very impressive. 

[Pliskin]

We're gonna win the league. 

[jeffschlupp]

Cov have got Peterborough twice on Saturday so won't be playing us I wouldn't think

[Gevans_97]

Here we go..!
