Walsall 0-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

[StanSP]

First half - poor.

 

Second half - much more like it. On the front foot, had plenty of chances to kill the game.

 

Kristiansen looks very good. Iheanacho did more than Daka when coming on. Faes was good I thought. 

[Izzy]

Well I quite enjoyed that. Decent cup tie and another potential banana skin avoided. On we march....

[KingsX]

Decent …

 

 

But it would really make my day if Walsall send Knowles out for the player interview.

 

[Vacamion]

 

Squeaked past them by too narrow a margin for the chances and possession we had, which is pretty damning.

 

I thought the new signing was decent.

 

Don't drop Nacho.

[filbertway]

Rodgers bailed out by Nacho. A tail as old as time itself.

 

No Braybrooke again. Get that lad out on loan before we stunt another career.

[TJQuik]

A brilliant victory by the magnificent Foxes

[wokinghamfox]

We dealt with it well

[Lcfc-1992]

Should of been a lot more comfortable than it was with the amount of chances we had

[ARTY_FOX]

Pretty shit but through. 

[RichmondAsianElephant]

Good win, if they play like this in the league Leicester will move up the table, good defence 

[Tommy Fresh]

Kings of the Midlands baby

[ARM1968]

Is it time for Itchy Nacho’s to be the main man?

 

Other than that, we’re through. That’s good even if we weren’t. 

[Reginaldo]

Seen enough of Kristiansen to say he starts from now on

[kingkisnorbo]

Really unconvincing. 

[martyn]

Scoreline looks unconvincing, but I thought we were ok today. Much better performance than against Gillingham in similar conditions.

 

Use of the ball was good on a difficult pitch and we never really came under any pressure, nor had our usual 10 minutes of madness to give the opponent a sniff.

 

Barnes and Daka at anything above a 3/10 and we'd have won that by a few.

The lack of composure and ability to kill a game of is still concerning. Must have been about 4 or 5 chances in the 2nd half alone, excluding the penalty, where we should have scored.

 

As is the ability to start a game well and have control of the game. 

[foxsake]

Walsall presented a solid challenge, well played.

 

Iverson should be our #1
Nacho should get more game time (as ever)
KDH is a menace
Great to see Madders back
Kristiansen looks good: tidy and quick-thinking.
Barnes continues to cut a frustrating figure.
Mendy getting caught dawdling a couple of times but I do like him.

 

.. I'm sorry to say this but Daka is a bit shit isn't he? 😬

[Nolucklcfc]

Shit first half but good second. Needs to play iheanacho more, absolutely baffling how he plays daka ahead of him 

[coolhandfox]

Job done.

 

Cup football is about getting though the round.

[sishades]

VK is an upgrade on Thomas, Kell showing why he must start, Kels first touch is still shocking though.

[lgfualol]

Cant believe I started off my weekend with that first half, brutal. Got better after the subs were made and at least we won. 

[ithuriel]

Glad we won but we really are adverse to scoring

[Jobyfox]

We’ve found our level 

[LaCiudad]

Solid win. 

 

Banana skin avoided away from home.

 

Steady first half, better second half. Could have scored more.

 

Good stuff.
