I'd be amazed if we retain our keeper. She has properly proved herself with us, and I expect their will be some bigger clubs interested in her.

I could see Man City being interested.  She's an upgrade on Roebuck, McIver and Keating, plus one of her many stormers was against them. 

 

I'm sure she'll have plenty of options and Leicester won't be the best of them.

Nevin’s a big one to keep too, made us better defensively and managed to be our top assister since we got promoted even though she’s only been here 3 and half months. Thankfully we’ve got an option to buy on her.

She deserves to be at a top club too.   She's made a massive difference to us. Shame we hadn't got her from the start of the season, we would already be clear of any relegation troubles if she had been. 

Edited to say that she is at Bayern Munich already, of course, but I meant getting game time at a top club.

And Sophia Poor who just saved a pen.

[Spacey_Fox]

2-1 England after being down to 11 women for much of the match. Baker got an assist (I think), Poor kept them out at the end

[LCFCJoe96]

Imagine Levell goes in the summer (out of contract, Lambourne has another year) so guess Poor sticks around as 3rd choice/pushing Lambourne. Then Leitzig/a new keeper as the out and out #1.

[Spacey_Fox]

Goal Baker!!

[LCFCJoe96]

3-1 win and through to the Euro Semis for England U17s. Good game & a goal for Ava Baker and another good game for Sophia Poor in goal too.

Two good interviews reading the excerpts, love the bit in Ash Plumptre’s about having a personal responsibility to keep us in the top flight

 

BBC journo Emma Sanders is also on Radio Leicester at half 6 tonight to talk about the relegation battle

Going to this. Thought it might make a nice change going to a game we might win. Hopefully they get a good turn out. Season ticket holders can go for free. 

 

Get on it.

Spurs-Reading kicking off shortly here (The FA Player)

 

A draw or Spurs win makes tomorrow win & stay up for us...the whole double header idea with the Spurs men's game has fallen flat what with the blokes putting on a shite performance

There was long enough between the matches to have played another game so Spurs are stretching the definition of double-header a bit!  I'm not surprised peoople didn't hang around regardless of the earlier result.

 

[LCFCJoe96]

Spurs 1-0 up!

[Dahnsouff]

2-0

[Lineker's Lugs]

Realistically Leicester were safe when they beat Liverpool, it's just been a matter of waiting for Reading's inevitable defeats to confirm it.  Every chance Leicester can make it official tomorrow with a game to spare, which is quite an achievement when you consider they've only managed 13 goals in 20 matches!

0 points and 2 goals (1 of which was an own goal) after 9 games to survival with a game to spare would be hilarious

[LCFCJoe96]

3-0 Spurs, pretty much game over!

 

4-1 Full Time, over to us.

realistically that's survival, reading aren't beating Chelsea but let's get the win tomorrow and see that one of our teams can capitalise on opportunities for survival 

[demon_dog]

Looking forward to this. At least it will be nice to see a team that care about staying up and put a lot of effort into trying to do so!

Definitely renewing my season ticket for the women's games, not sure about my men's season ticket though!

[LCFCJoe96]

Beautiful sunshine, few beers, a proper Leicester team, last home game of the season and hopefully a job done to cap it off.
