Well done Lestah!

Love that someone replaced Wilf today with Prime Ronaldinho. 

 

Disappointed with our left, thought KDH and Stephy were underwhelming. Mavididi looked a bit like when you make a mistake or two and you let it get to you. His confidence seemed to drop a bit, his passing and shooting started to look hesitant. 

 

AFI was class though. Be hard to leave him out the team I think. Think we still need Mavididi’s pace and dribbling on the counter but otherwise I'd be having  AFI right and McAteer left after today, give stephy a rest. 

He did seem quite short of confidence late on. Seemed to be absolutely spent but then hared through with not long left. So not sure what was up with him. 

[Chelmofox]

Winks awesome. I think we need to give Wilf a new deal. JJ better than Doyle. 
 

Vardy sh1t house had us in stitches. 
 

I thought Bristol were awful. Worst I have seen at the KP for a long time. 

[Bourbon Fox]

I know Mavididi can be frustrating but having him and Fatawu on the wings is just glorious swashbuckling terror-chaos and I love it.

 

Trouble is Mac is earning his stripes and looks great every time he's on the pitch, deserves his place.

 

Those three are a proper handful. The ability to throw any one of them on for the last half an hour is brilliant. 

 

I LOVE having wingers

Our attacks fall apart when KDH & Ndidi get the ball

 

Ironically I think it was KDH and Ndidi who were creating our openings.  Ndidi some amazing runs in second half, and KDH was just one touch hitting it into the box not hesitating like Stephy. 

 

But in the end we won out, so was good, concerned we dropped back after scoring though but luckily Bristol looked like they would never score from anything just completely hashing any chances they had, which is what happens when for 75 mins of the game you have nothing of the ball.

 

Hopefully Stephy gets more sharp thinking as the season goes on.

 

I think Winks has perhaps been helping Ndidi and KDH with confidence as initially start of season just Winks made the runs, now all three are, and Ricardo some as well.

Am I blind or has the Vardy appreciation thread disappeared?

[fox_favourite]

I'm so glad Vards is ours. What a way to celebrate, absolutely loved it!!

 

Good win and lovely time to show appreciation to Matty James and kingy. 

[Lionator]

What happened on Burnmoor Street after the game?

We made them look awful.

That first 15 minutes of the 2H is the best I’ve seen us play in a while - and about the best you’ll see at this level all season.

[Xen]

What's most exciting for me is that, after so few games, we seem to have fully embraced Enzo's system and are executing it more and more consistently, with noticeably fewer errors with each passing game. For such a drastic change to be bearing fruit so quickly - and bringing along previously written off players like Vestergaard and Ndidi - is a seriously impressive effort.

 

The only real issue at the minute is the final third decision making and what to do in front of goal. But that's more about individual performances rather than tactics, so I'm confident that'll start to click more and more often as the players continue to adapt. Just look at Mcateer for instance who - out of nowhere - seems to be the most adept at getting in the right positions, making those incisive runs and causing problems for the defense. And Fatawu looks like he's going to be a real handful.

 

Exciting times ahead...

[Mike Oxlong]

BBC think it was a well deserved penalty 🤣

 

“The veteran striker broke the deadlock midway through the second half after Wilfred Ndidi went down in the box having fallen over an outstretched leg from Kal Naismith.”

Well done County, look's like it was one hell of a game from the score.

 

And look at Wrexham too ... really don't know what to make of them.

[Jimbo]

the game at 1-0, we're knocking it around at the back, and an old boy next to me says to his mate "all this passing it around just doesn't work!"

 

He didn't reply when I pointed out that it works well enough to see us win 7 out of 8 games.......

 

There's just no pleasing some 😂 but we can now see our game getting better and hopefully that will continue.

 

One player that frustrates the hell out of me at the moment is KDH. All I heard in commentary in the previous 2 games was premier league quality this and premier league quality that. He's got all the attributes to be a very good player but his decision making is woeful at times. Shoots when he should pass, passes when he should shoot etc I like him, don't get me wrong, and that's probably why he frustrates me so much at times, but with him making better decisions today and that game does end up 2 or 3 nil. 

[majaco]

We look good.    I like Fatawu and would like him to become my favourite player by being consistently brilliant.  

 

Still.work to be done on having more.of a cutting edge.

 

 

[ARTY_FOX]

We need a thread for weirdo fans. Our own and oppositions. 

 

Starting with the geriatrics around me going berserk at the idea of us being 1-0 up and in a state of shock that we keep the ball instead of launching it any time its within 45 yards of our goal 

 

Moaning that we were rubbish today and that we were so lucky to win despite total domination

 

Then you've got the grown men walking out the away end, under their breathes saying vichai in a box so nobody can really hear them because they're well hard. 

[Bert]

By far our best performance of the season. 
 

Could've had a hatful of goals if it wasn’t for their Keeper and a bit of better decision making. Wilf was absolutely class. Really enjoyed Fatawu’s performance too. 
 

Only real gripe for me is KDH’s decision making in the final third, so many wasted opportunities. But he still played well and got us up the pitch really well. 
 

Very pleased.

Loads of Brizzle brigade were giving  it the big " Leicesters a shithole" all the way upto Aylestone Rd, I presume it was the beginning  of this?

Thought he did okay today but he could have done far better.  That's where I agree with you.  He's just a whisker, a decision, a pass, a finish away from being a really complete player. His energy and commitment  are superb and he's absolutely got a defence splitting pass or a great finish in him.  

 

Look, given what Maresca's done with Ndidi I expect KDH to be prime Gerrard before the season is out

...struggles when there is no space behind a defender that he can play a ball into and chase!!!

He has been nullified again by a defender who sits in. I wanted McAteer to come on and replace him with Fatawu staying on the right. Once again he does not make the pass and has a horrendous shot at goal, someone needs to have a word no, as it seems no one has ever tried to eradicate this flaw in his game, you just knew not releasing a ball to someone better placed would rear its head again.

Her sample size of 1 will slightly bias her survey finding, to be fair.

Either you sit near where I sit or it's a generational thing 😂 the older folk are used to the good old fashioned kick it as hard as you can up the pitch and chase it down British way, they don't like this tippy tappy rubbish
