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. 

They were appalling.

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.

You're right, they are better than probably anyone in this division at winning it back which is a huge part of their role. It's when they get it they tend to make wrong decisions. Ndidi is getting a hell of a lot better though with some great bits of skill that created openings.

 

I can't decide whether KDH is trying too hard or there is a level of arrogance about him about what division he is in. He looked a class above against Norwich when he come on, yet today wasted so many opportunities to make something happen. 

 

We have more than enough for this league though and I don't think anything will catch up with us by wasting chances to be honest. Okay they'll be days like Hull early on but most games we will have 65% possession and score goals. The opposition won't have it enough to do much. We have seen the standard of finishing. It's if/when we go up that we won't get away with it without real quality.

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 

Ndidi is playing like the perfect hybrid of Zidane and Viera right now, I expect KDH to be much better than prime Gerrard 🤔

Fvck the goal, show the celebration

[Pliskin]

Well, Bristol weren’t the Barcelona some promised…. 
 

I thought we were excellent today, still some work needed in the final third, we should have walked off the pitch 5 or 6-0 winners today, Bristol were nothing and it was probably the most one sided game I’ve seen for a long time.

 

Lots of nice stuff being done at the moment, Winks was another level today, and N’didi probably had his best game for us in a very long time. 
 

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that, even though we should have probably scored more goals, the sheer domination and patterns of play at times was lovely to watch. 
 

Cruising on the HMS piss the league is fun.

Wasn't enthralling in my opinion dare I say it quite a boring game (nothing on scale of the previous though), always felt in control, never felt worried (maybe the last minute freekick...)

 

Another win and we go marching on to the next one!

Yes I'm with you on this.

I think we just have to get used to this style of play and possession.

Atleast theres an end product unlike the side to side sh1te we had under BR.

As long as we win though I don't mind👍

Good win, nice to see Leicestershire CCC, doing a lap of honor with the one day cup, and the reception for Matt James, Andy King, and Nigel Perason at the end

A lot of games I’ve felt we’ve been lucky to win. But the last 3 and today in particular, was just so dominant. We are improving every week.

I've not had a problem or claimed its been boring under Enzo until today and i'm not exactly calling it boring wholesale today.

 

It's a breath of fresh air to what we'd become accustomed to.

 

Obviously winning helps and discounts any (constructive) criticism but it's not simply being passed off because we're winning - even when we were winning under BR I absolutely despised it and couldn't enjoy it.

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

Drop kdh for Kasey.

I've got family in Bristol and they sound thick as planks with that accent.  

 

And they are thick as planks as well tbf.  

 

That said I quite like Bristol as a city.  I hear it's fast becoming known as the Paris of the South West. 

[StanSP]

Rewarding probably sums up today for me. 

 

From our own perspective, created plenty of chances, clean sheet and 3 points at home against another side that set up fairly defensively and tried to mark us man for man. On another day there's 4 goals for us before they even get their first chance.

 

Fatawu looks so lively and powerful and thing you have to love the most about him is how direct he is. Gave their left-back an absolute nightmare. Won't be long before he's grabbing assists and goals for fun. Won't be the last full-back that suffers either because of him.

 

Ndidi my man of the match though. Game-changing performance and took the responsibility on to make that difference. Covered well for KDH and Winks, and showed some really silky skills throughout that 2nd half and for the penalty. Brimming with confidence and it's great to see for him after a tough two years.

 

And rewarding after the game to give Pearson, King and James such a positive reception. And glad they lapped it up as they so should.
