Thracian Posted 24 July 2007 Posted 24 July 2007 Leicester City made it five wins from five for their pre-season campaign with a well earned 2-0 victory over Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle on Tuesday night. Youngsters Eric Odhiambo and James Wesolowski grabbed the goals for the Foxes on the night in front of a 1,403 strong crowd at the Firhill Stadium. Manager Martin Allen named three of his new signings in the starting line up - Stephen Clemence, James Chambers and Bulgarian international Radostin Kishishev. Matty Fryatt, who had grabbed a goal in City's 3-0 victory over Notts County last weekend, began the game in attack alongside Mark de Vries. Article continues Advertisement City's first chance of the game came in the 13th minute of the contest. Clemence threaded a delightful ball into the path of de Vries, but the big striker saw his shot well blocked by Jags defender Scott Boyd. The Foxes came close again five minutes later. Richard Stearman, who had started the game in a right-wing position, swung in a corner from the right, but Clemence's acrobatic volley from the edge of the 18-yard box fell just over the bar. Clemence was in the thick of the action again on 23 minutes. The former Birmingham midfielder picked up a loose clearance in the middle of the park and fed a fine ball through to Alan Sheehan, but the Irishman saw his shot from distance comfortably saved by Jonathan Tuffey in the Jags goal. Thistle had their first clear chance on goal a minute later. Stevie Murray swung in a corner from the right, but striker Liam Buchanan was unable to get a clean strike on the ball at the far post and Paul Henderson was able to gather easily. A quick move down the right almost produced an opportunity for the home side in the 28th minute, but Stearman was on hand to produce an excellent block and thus end any danger. Jags striker Buchanan broke through the City backline with five minutes of the half remaining, but Stearman was on his toes again and made up ground to recover and make another good block. Manager Allen made three changes on at half time - James Wesolowski, Odhiambo and Shaun Newton replacing Radostin Kishishev and Bruno N'Gotty. Stearman moved to the centre-back position, allowing Newton to take up the right wing spot. City broke the deadlock in the 55th minute. Fryatt found substitute Odmiambo 25 yards from goal with an inch perfect past, and the Leicester youngster made no mistake - blasting a well drilled shot past Tuffey. The Jags almost hit straight back moments later, but Buchanan saw his powerful shot well blocked by captain for the night Gareth McAuley. Gary Hawkins tried his luck from range for the home side on the hour mark - but Henderson was there to make the save. A quick break almost created Leicester's second goal on 62 minutes, but Shaun Newton's shot on the angle landed wide following good work from Odhiambo and Fryatt. Allen was forced to make his fourth change on 65 minutes - Sergio Hellings replacing the injured Alan Sheehan. The Foxes made it 2-0 on 67 minutes. Substitute Hellings saw a shot saved by Tuffey, but the Partick goalkeeper was unable to hold the ball and it eventually broke to Wesolowski who fired home a well placed shot from 12 yards. Allen made his fifth and final change with four minutes of the game remaining - Iain Hume replacing Fryatt. The Foxes now face another three days of intensive pre-season training before they face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday (3pm). City: Henderson, Chambers, N'Gotty (Newton 46), McAuley ©, Mattock, Stearman, Kishishev (Wesolowski 46), Clemence, Sheehan (Hellings 65), Fryatt (Hume 86), de Vries (Odhiambo 46). Subs not used: Logan. Thistle: Tuffey, Robertson, Archibald, Boyd, Harkins, Donnelly, Trialist, Buchanan, Roberts, Murray. Subs: Hinchcliffe, Chaplain, McStay, Lennon, Strachan, Gibson, Trialist. Att: 1,403
Thracian Posted 24 July 2007 Posted 24 July 2007 Odhiambo and Weso - and we search the country for strikers! :D First goal assist for Fryatt. Another defensive clean sheet so we've still only conceded one goal - and that an own goal - in five games.
mark1983 Posted 24 July 2007 Author Posted 24 July 2007 good victory seems like eric odhiambo could do well for us in the academy next season
Geo V Posted 24 July 2007 Posted 24 July 2007 Odhiambo and Weso - and we search the country for strikers! :D Well Done the lads. Importantly we keep a clean sheet with the defence that I think will start the season and more importantly they have all got another run-out as they attempt to gain match fitness. Lets hope Sheehans injury isnt a serious one too....
Webbo Posted 24 July 2007 Posted 24 July 2007 Odhiambo and Weso - and we search the country for strikers! :D They're certainly having a good pre-season, I can't help thinking we need a big man up front, DeVries is a donkey and I can't see Cort lasting 10 games. Why don't the youth team train big lads?
Thracian Posted 24 July 2007 Posted 24 July 2007 Well Done the lads.Importantly we keep a clean sheet with the defence that I think will start the season and more importantly they have all got another run-out as they attempt to gain match fitness. Lets hope Sheehans injury isnt a serious one too.... As you say - it's the last thing he needs right now.
