Trees - Leicester Match & Post Match Thread

[Peacefulred]

If they did have to use mouth to mouth and the defibrilators, then his heart must have stopped. This sounds like a heart attack, but let's hope it's not as serious as the Sevilla incident and they've managed to recover him in time. Best wishes Clive and family.

Well as a forest fan this eveing has been hugely frustrating because i feel we were the better team adn would go on to win but the right decision was made to call the game off and get well soon clive.

As for teh trouble outside these people are just plain idiots.

Well hopefully the replay will be asap because we have another cup match next week so at the moment i cant see the replay coming for another 2 weeks, when it does come i would hope it was just a restart from wher eit left off but i know football doesnt work like that so that won't happen.

Would be a nice gesture for Leicester to give us a free goal but i seriously doubt that would ever happen and now im fairly confident you will beat us because you wont take us as lightly as you did earlier.

Get well soon clive

Very distressing tonight.

Well done to all those involved saving Clarke.

Sounds like because we played 45 mins, Forest can charge us again for the ticket?

[Tommeh]

Another thing close to ruining the evening tonight were the stewards asking people to sit down, ITS A LOCAL DERBY IN THE CUP ON A TUESDAY NIGHT YOU TWATS!!

stood for the majority of the half but there were many others around us forced to sit, they obviously didn't care about the forest fans to the left then

They tried to do that near us, but everyone just looked away when the stewards came near. There was no way they were going to stop me standing.

Maybe if the idiot minority of so-called fans hadn't reacted in the way they did, there might be more of an inclination for such a gesture. However if the game is being started from the start, and we give you a goal straight from kick-off with 90 minutes to go, I don't think it would be feasible anyway as its hardly starting as you left off. The only way it could work would be for the authorities to say that only 45 minutes should be played with the score starting at 1-0, but again this will not happen.

In terms of your frustration, I'm sure you'll get over it

Well it was a pretty poor performance from Leicester, the team selection was more than puzzling with 6/7 changes, Kenton will never make a half decent centre back, Newton's not good enough, DJ & Hume as a front pairing is not going to work, with all due respect to Clarke he's not good enough for LCFC.and before anyone asks I thought this on saturday as well.

The most entertaining performance tonight was the drunk on the pitch who I thought the police handled very well, doubt they would have had the same approuch if it had been an 18 year old though.

[Simi]

Paul Henderson was a joke tonight.

[davieG]

Paul Henderson was a joke tonight.

Yes I forgot about him. It's worrying that our strength in depth is not as strong as it could be and I'm totally bemused by Allens need to make so many changes to a winning team.

Not disageeing with you DavieG because I wasn't there, but it shows what a funny game football is. The Match Live half-time statistics showed 59% - 41% possession in City's favour and 5 shots on target for each team.

disagree strongly with that mate , excellent at palace , steady against watford and did ok tonight , good in the air and strong in the tackle , cant see how over 3 games u can make a valid argument that he isnt good enough

[Flynny]

Hendo wasn't great, but some of that was Kisnorbo/Kenton not working as a partnership. The crap punch he made, for instance, was still just about the best thing he could do in the circumstances with unmarked men on every side.

Quite obvious he was trying to impress a little too hard, I thought.

No closing down in central midfield, which was disappointing. Porter didn't get a decent cross off all night and looked garbage, Clarke was having a decent game but went in too conservatively at times.

I dont know i dont think you guys were all bad, once we had scored our gameplan seemed to change slightly and at time you passed it around pretty well, just felt that the our players seemed up for it more, maybe the fact that we have a lot of home grown players had a big factor in it.

Perhaps now is not the time to discuss it and I apologise now for the inappropriateness of my statement.

[brookfox]

Firstly, obvious thoughts go out to Clarke and his family. Get well soon!

Not sure if it's elsewhere but Stearman, Kaebi, Mattock and Sheehan were in the crowd tonight sat 2 rows in front of me! Pretty sure Dawson (left to go to Mansfield) was with also with them. I wondered what Hossein thought of it all?!

[FleckneyFox]

I reckon Clarke may not have actually been feeling 100% tonight but in all seriousness hope he pulls through okay and we see him in the city shirt again because obviosly its only a three month loan deal and looking at this he may never be able to play football again fingers crossed for him

[Sparky]

to be honest mate dont need to apologise , 2 different opinions and dont think people would see your opinion as anything personal to the guy .

every single 1 of us wishes him the best

Nice of you to say so Sparky but it just hit me that discussing his future at LCFC when it's not inconceivable that he might no longer have a playing future suddenly hit me right in the gut.

[Tommeh]

We didn't play well tbh and 1st 25-30 mins forest always looked like scoring, it was no surprise to me when they did!

Still dont think the goal would have happened if McAuley an or Fulop were in the side, McAuley would have maybe got it away whereas Fulop may have taken it being very good in my opinion at crosses.

we defenately missed De Vries, we seemed to have no 2nd option, Levi and Newton looked poor, and again our main attacking threat came from Chambers for the right and alsowesolowski through the middle. Don't see the Hume / DJ partnership working, we need a big man up there MDV/Cort and if it means going long occasionally then so be it

Just wondering what were your thoughts on our penalty shout,this is probably a completely biased view but i thought it was a stone wall penalty and couldnt belive it was'nt given.

[Dames]

Straight to the point.

Team was poor we tried to do too much slick passing which we clearly couldnt do and lost the ball alot.

Fans were very quiet and boring besides a the brave few in the corners, The people behind me were really irritating.

Then the terrible incident with Clive has put a whole downer on the evening.

[l444ry]

The Radio Leicester commentator and Gerry Taggart both thought it was a stick-on penalty.

[Phlashman]

Does anyone know why De Vries and Sergio Hellings were sitting with the away fans in Z block?

[Simi]

The only contact was normal contact you'd see anywhere on the pitch.

I thought the ref made a good decsion.

Bias I suppose though.

[Craig]

It wasn't a penalty, it was a foul, but just outside the box.

[Sparky]

if the penalty had been given it would have been a shocking decision , never a pen , honest 100% OPINION

holt was trying to go down before kenton got anywhere near
