Still a poor result tbh. Really poor finishing, more injuries, not a big enough lead that the tie is over, and the fact that they scored means it feels like a defeat.

 

Will get nervy when we concede the early goal next week and who knows what happens from there.

 

 

you’re the guy who heckles the best comedians aren’t you?

[Jonezy]

Felt good enjoying a Leicester game again.

We will be continually frustrated by his lack of end product and it will build until the supporters start to turn against him. He really should have amazing figures in respect of assists, but he just cannot get it right in the last third.

The same lookman with 2 assists tonight?

 

His numbers are actually quite good for us for the minutes he’s played. Maybe not a starter but for the right money he’d be a no brainier.

This is exactly how we should have beaten forest! Instead we got bullied by them and let them play their game. Anyway, job well done and some good footy. See we can play when we want to! Wolves will be a hard task. It as long as the players pit a shift in we could come away with a point. 
COYF!

It's still a no for me in terms of signing Lookman.

Strange comment when we've just won 4-1 and he assisted 2 goals and was heavily involved in another. I thought he was good tonight and has done well for us since he came here and I'd be 100% getting him signed up in the summer. 

[Bert]

I don’t get why people are so against signing Lookman. He’ll cost £15m, creates chances and scores too. 
 

Anyway. 
 

Good win, any win is a good win. Winning breeds confidence. Of course we should be sticking 3/4 past these. Had lots of chances and played well. Can’t ask for more than that. 

[IsItMuzzy]

Any highlights videoed available anywhere?

[gerblod]

Vestergaard looked v. comfortable with all that space to himself. Maybe he and Kasper were able to have a nice chat during the second half.

KDH is now the motor of this team. His speed of thought enables him to mount quick attacks. Passing is outstanding -both accurate and incisive. 

Madders maybe had a hyperglycemic attack. Looks bad - they were taking his pulse throughout the incident, but I doubt it was his heart - unless he was experiencing missed beats. Getting up and walking off is always a good sign.

As soon as BR made his mass substitutions, Randers began to 'sally forth' again. He seems to swing between over-caution and unjustifiable confidence.

A good result. Keown was talking up a Rodgers' team rebuild on BT. He'll be best advised to find a defence for a start.

End of lack product ? 
 

He’s got two assists tonight and had a huge hand in both of the other goals 

[Sunbury Fox]

Amazing to think that we scored 4 and yet according to the official stats we missed 8 of the 10(!!) big chances that we created!

Yeah I’d love a fifth goal but it weren’t for a lack of trying was it? Their goalie made a couple of incredible saves. Couple of utter sitters in there too. I’ve just watched the highlights on BT sport and they didn’t have enough time to include all of the shots at their keeper including Kelly at the end 
 

Their goal was a combination of really slack marking but a good slice of luck as well

 

Not an awful lot to complain about that 

[TrentFox]

Enjoyable evening. Could easily have been many more. KDH excellent. Team, collectively, did what needed to be done. My one negative was that Daka continues to leave me underwhelmed. His finishing was disappointing, but he also seems to spend a disproportionate amount of time actually not moving. It’s hard for anyone to pick him out or second guess his movement when he’s static. Wonder if he’s carrying a knock as he looked quite sluggish against a very ordinary defence?

Bit of a weird one. Dominated and should have had 6 or 7 maybe, but a three goal lead isn’t enough to make too many changes next week.

 

Still think we are soft as s**t defensively and we were really sloppy in front of goal, but nice to see a win through without much drama. 

No pleasing some people, imo played well tonight ,and we crested a lot of chances which was good to see  ,wolves away next ,I can see us getting something from that.

Much as Marc was great going forward, and a Leicester City legend, he was at fault for their goal. I love the guy, but he is no left back.

 

I would like to see Nacho and Daka upfront in a 2 sometime. I think both get a bit isolated at times.

 

 

[Suzie the Fox]

Great result, nice confidence booster for the team going into the Wolves game.

 

Fingers crossed nothing serious on The injuries front.

It wasn't his best game granted, but he does work hard off the ball (much harder than Barnes the other side) which results in turnover of play quite often. Also his assist for KDH was brilliant. Great passage of play. We have two wide players in Barnes and Lookman who are not very bright. However one does work a hell of a lot harder than the other.

You do know his goals per minute ratio is actually pretty impressive right? 

[Webbo]

3 pages after a win? There'd have been more than War and Peace if we'd lost.

Imagine how good it would be if he improved his game. You do know he can do that, right?

Imagine how good Messi would be if he improved his game! 

 

There's a case for appreciate what you do have and celebrate that, he's young, been here for about 2 minutes and already scoring lots of goals. Yes ofcourse he can improve and he seems to be doing that. Give the guy a break there's a lot more options in the scapegoat area.

We were a skandi goalkeeper playing against his hero away from a record breaker…

 

KDH was superb.

 

It was a pleasure as a notts fox taking a few forest fans along for the evening and seeing them enjoying some European football! I didn’t half panic at half time

Just had a few beers with Rangers fans. They are just so happy to be here. Nice chaps!

 

Really enjoyable evening. Good atmosphere where we were. Felt we should have scored 6, if not more. Hope madison is ok? Looked a little worrying. 
 

is my mind playing tricks on me. Did Vestergaard do a mini cruyff turn at one point. And some nice long passes.

[LCFCCHRIS]

I think they were poor more than we were good, but nice chances created and put enough away to give us a cushion. Decent night overall.
