LCFC 3-2 Milll Post Match

[David Hankey]

Made heavy work beating a poor side but you can't get any more than 3 points from a game.

[Gamble92]

So glad we won easily in the end despite the scoreline. It's worrying how little in terms of attacks teams need to score against us sometimes though.

 

Our goals conceded is incredibly good, but that comes from us tactically making sure the opponent have so little in the way of attacks against us. You'd fear against better opposition but we can worry about that when it gets to it.

[Guest Bilo]

Huge win psychologically by capitalising on Leeds' slip-up last night and going back to the top of the league again. Ipswich must hate us.

 

11 points clear of third, Southampton dropping points and coming from behind against a side who wanted to park the bus and kick us off the pitch showing that we have learned from the Hull game.

 

The consequences of a defeat could have been horrendous with our top spot surrendered weeks before meeting Ipswich and a golden opportunity squandered. 

 

Pleased.

Is the first goal going down as Vestergaard or own goal? And is the 3rd going to Ricardo or Ndidi? 

[Simonb]

Thought wilf Abdul Winks and jannik had very good games

 

Kdh I felt was poor apart from that beautiful cross for the equaliser.. mav was off it today too

 

3 more points.. another game ticked off

I was hoping you'd unearthed a hidden Jamaican takeaway gem in Leicestershire. This is most disappointing news. 

[Jonezy]

Also how poor was Keith Stroud? Let them get away with so much even the most stone waller pen, I have seen in ages. I still prefer the no VAR though.

[trabuch]

Comforting to see we can win against a filthy side with a weak ref letting them get away with murder.

Sky sports and flash score both have it as Vesty and Ricardo

3 points is the most important thing but conceding 2 to that shower is disappointing. Overall a good performance but sloppy at the back for both goals. 

Their first goal was very good. Great cross and header. Second was messy, but I always thought that if they would score it would be from a set piece. Ultimately, we look far less vulnerable from those than last season.

Another win, but can we please stop being so sloppy. Those goals conceded were so avoidable. Fatawu is fun and KDH had a stinker. 

KDH with the assist for the first and heavily involved for the third. He can keep having 'stinkers' if he contributes like that.

 

[Jobyfox]

We've only conceded more than one goal in a game once (tonight)

We've got the best defence in the league on 14 goals

 

If we cut out the "sloppy goals" the goals against column would be truly remarkable 

 

[TrentFox]

Left-field comment, but did anyone else think the pitch seemed to cut up really badly? Over-watered? Not helpful to a passing team.

All started with him letting off that early yellow card offence from the Millwall player. Don't blame him so much on the penalty, linesman should be seeing that

People are so desperate to criticse anyone who dares to say we aren't playing well that they are willing to ignore the negatives. 

 

I'd say it was another job done performance, and that's all we need at times. Getting the 3 points is all that matters. 

 

 

 

 

I don't know think anyone has an issue with anyone saying we are not playing well, but a bit of perspective is required. In the first half we weren't playing amazingly, and yes we were losing but some of the posts in the match thread were pathetic and went far beyond a critique of our performance today

Score line looks deceitfully much closer than the game actually was. Back to the top… 

I was thinking the opposite just before they scored their second actually, that it was harder work than 3-1 suggested.

Yeh I saw that but it definitely came off Ndidi 🤣. I'm sure Ricardo will want it to go down as his first goal of the season. Ndidi has scored enough already 🤣

I thought it was pretty obviously Vestergaard and I don't know why the commentators were so unsure.

Would have been a travesty if we didn't win that. Disappointed to let in the late goal but another win closer to promotion.

 

Oh and Keith Stroud can go suck a bag of dicks

Important to keep chasing goals rather than being content to pass around at the back. When we piled the pressure on, we scored 3. Then we tried to pass around for 25 mins, conceding a goal in the process apart from us being a little wasteful.

 

If we had stopped after scoring 2 goals, it would be a 2-2 draw.

Yeah a few did go overboard and were acting like we were heading for relegation

I thought the same. Looked like Vestergaard got his head to it and it was only the commentators that made me doubt it.

Thought that was Vestergaard's worst game in a while. Obviously culpable twice for their first goal, and lost out a few times in the air when they went long.

Yea I agree he was at fault for the first goal  but after that I think he had good control of the game and was solid on and off the ball to be fair.
