[BluethroughtheMiddle]

What on earth has happend to Vestergaard? Absolutely bossed it again today! 

 

Great result from the team, even if it was an ugly performance.

 

All aboard.

N’Didi was immense. Can’t believe how he and the manager have turned the form around so quickly - MOTM for me 

Who?

Do you mean Ndidi?

I’m sorry Blackburn Rovers, but that’s what you get for being sponsored by a vape company called totally wicked 

I always thought Totally Wicked made flapjacks - have they branched out into other public health nuisances? 

 

Shout-out to St Helens for playing in the Totally Wicked Stadium. Look up their hospitality website if anyone fancies a laugh this afternoon.

KDH was so wasteful and poor for most of that game, but he does have the best motor in the side; he is all over the pitch and constantly driving us forward. Thst finish was all class. If he finds form/refines his decision-making we will be even more dangerous.

 

Pleased for the Casadei. That was the best match he has played for us since his first game. Broke up play, stroked a few nice passes around, and was positionally sound.

 

I hate to say it, but Vesty was good.

 

We absolutely did not play that well but Enzo has his system drilled into us and we are so clinical in front of goal. 

 

Blackburn are a good, intelligent side. I hope they do well this season.

 

Up the Foxes!!!

Another comfortable win to be honest who is there in the championship is going cause us any problems this season ? it's all pretty effortless, most games we can play in 2nd gear, we have enough quality to step up our game as and when we need to. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Fantastic to see a man like Enzo doing so well. A true professional. Organised team. Hopefully some of the professionalism of Enzo runs off on Top, Rudkin and co and we will be flying.

I'm actually gutted Vestergaard is suspended v Preston. 

Good chance for Coady to show his stuff though.

Ipswich, Sunderland and maybe Leeds if they can find some consistency. But I think if we carry on with this trajectory then we’ll be far ahead to have to worry.

Play crap, still win by a bunch and gifted them their goal. Unreal.

Excellent result. Very clinical, 4 goals from 4 on target. 
 

Ndidi so good. And Vestergaard as well, never thought I’d say that. KDH frustrating. Vestergaard booking was a terrible call from the ref.
 

Definitely a case of result is flattering based on the performance and an absolutely horrendous goal conceded. 
 

Hoping McAteer is ok. It looked a bad one. Injuries is the thing stopping me getting too far ahead. One game at a time and keep racking up the points.

He seems to walk OK unaided so hopefully just a twinge.

...unfortunately, that scenario means nothing!!!

Ricardo played on when he got the first injury, and Doyle was willing to continue, players do seem to give the impression that it is not as bad as you think.

The score line flattered that performance but our fitness levels impress me each game.

 

We WILL have a blip of results so important that gap keeps growing between us and the rest.

But other teams will also have blips.....

[brookfox]

11 clear of both Leeds and Southampton after 9 matches is a huge testament to the job Enzo has done. Long way to go, but so far he’s not put a foot wrong 👏🏻

 

And massive credit to whoever at the club had the vision and bravery to bring him in!

Not sure if the standard of the Championship is woeful or if we just have no business being in the league. Probably a bit of both but honestly we are beating teams without getting out of 2nd gear and it’s not a great look for the EFL. Even against Hull they were lucky to not concede and we should have at least came away with a draw.

Apart from the occasional brain farts when overplaying at the back (which cost us the goal) that was a really decent performance.  Win on Wednesday and I genuinely don't think we will be out of the top two all season. 

[RowlattsFox]

More evidence that we don't need to be anywhere near our best to win matches. We are always a threat, and we wear teams down and finish them off. If we get in front we can do that. 

 

Faes was outstanding. Big moments from Hermansen and Vestergaard at 2-1. Yes we made it hard at times but generally under control second half. 

 

Not the midfield best day but did enough. Vardy appears to be enjoying himself again. 

 

We roll on.

I am worried for the state of English football. All the promoted teams looking like they are going to be relegated from the premier league and the championship just seems to be rubbish. 

 

None of the opposition players have stood out in any games we have played apart from maybe Gustavo Hamer who went to the premier league in the end anyway.

[jbflcfc]

It’s amazing what a bit of confidence & a good manager can do to a player re vestegaard.

 

Bit gutted he can’t play on weds but I’m sure coady will jump in & do a job!

 

Would like to see Daka at some point also!

 

Either way, to play average & still win 4-1 shows the quality we have in this team!!

[lgfualol]

We’re well good

[TrentFox]

Sloppy first 20. Somewhat disjointed overall  against a team with a clear plan. I thought KDH was disappointing, but I’ll forgive him everything for that goal, which was superbly taken. Nowhere near our best but 3 points and we move on.

I'm hoping that when our luck runs out we will already be so many points clear it won't matter

Luck????

[StatFox]

Jannik Vestergaard completed more passes vs Blackburn than any Leicester player has completed in a Championship game this season (115).

No I am not joking
