Player Ratings vs Preston

[Joe.]

Henderson 6- Had nothing to do again (apart from the goal <_<) but did things well enough

Stearman 7- One of our better players, looked good going forward.

Kisnorbo 7- I managed to miss his slip and their goal because of moving from F block round to C block so I don't know whether he was partly at fault for the goal or not. From what I did see he was very good once again.

N'Gotty 6.5- Solid.

Clapham 6.5- Again, solid.

Hume 4- Sorry but he had a mare tonight.

Oakley 5.5- Didn't really create much like Clemence but couldn't find a lot of space during the game.

Clemence 5- Didn't get involved in the game at all tonight.

Hendrie 6- Not a bad game really, just couldn't create much out wide.

Campbell 6.5- Caused problems again and was one of our better players for me.

Howard 5- Didn't have much to work with to be fair at all.

Henderson 6

Stearman 6 - He looked good at times but the communication with N'Gotty was non existant

Kisnorbo 7 - Solid.

NGotty 5 - Maybe 180 minutes of football in three days in too much for a 36 year old

Clapham 6.5 - He's growing on me

Hume 5 - He tries................ Would like to see him up front if Etuhu starts on Sat

Oakley 6 - Coulda hit the trigger a few times but played fairly well

Clemence 4 - SHIT!

Hendrie 6.5 - Ok performance. Think he could be a good signing

Campbell 6.5 - I agree with Joe. One of the better players

Howard 5 - He is better holding the ball up on the floor and not in the air wish the team would realise it.

0 for the fans - A bit harsh I thought. I thought we got behind the team a little, not the best but not bad by our standards.

To be fair, in E3 we made a lot of noise but some songs were sung too many times which was mainly down to a group of drunks.

Oakley and Hendrie get a positive number from me. But I won't tell you what they are.

The rest will be rewarded with a straight 0.

Oakley 5

Clem 5

DJ 5

Howard 5

Fryatt 6

Hayles 5

Mattock 6

Fryatt looked our most lively striker. Least he shot when he had the chance instead of trying to walk it in like others.

Thracian are you going to be counting Fryatt's 2 goals? Seeing as you do for Elvis like?

How we didn't get a free-kick for that pass back is beyond me.

[reynard]

Henderson 6 Had nothing to do except pick the ball out of the net.

Clapham 6 Thought he was steady and tried to play ball to feet.

Kisnorbo 5 ok defensively but as usal anything more taxing was a complete cock up. Please please please don't let him take any more free kicks.

N'gotty 4 some dodgy clearances and offered very little.

stearman 6 about our only attacking wide option for most of the game. Not bad on the whole.

Hendrie 5 sorry for him. played wide left wide right central midfield. Offered very little second half and clearly not match fit.

clemence 0 total disgrace. doesn't look interested. if that's his best then p8ss off. Clearly a very average player who needs better players around him which he clearly doesn't have.

Oakley 1 awful. Let's be honest he's had one good performance vs Coventry and the rest have been at best average or usually worse. You can see clearly why derby's management were happy to sell him.

Hume 3 another generally aimless performance not helped by playing in a postion he simply can't play to any consistent level.

howard 4 tried hard but because he plays with such an inept midfield he always has to drop too deep or go too wide to get the ball. Ineffective in the air and looked shattered when subbed.

DJ 2 Sorry but he is crap. 1.6m for a player of such limited ability. He never anticipates the game doesn't put the effort in (never works the line) useless in the air and has generally an awful first touch. Caught off side more often than not. Simply didn't look intersted tonight.

subs

mattock 4 didn't do much

fryatt 4 2 offside goals and again didn't get into the game much.

Hayles 4 never involved really.

Holloway 0 Crap tactics. crap management.

[Tevez]

Hendrie 6

Oakley 6

[Nath.]

Henderson 6 - Good kicking, no keeper could have saved that brilliant goal though! (Set up the city goal from the corner, knocked the ball on, but dissalowed!)

Stearman 6 - Looking good supporting attacks.

N'Gotty 7 - Good in the air, reliable as ever.

Kisnorbo 6 - Same as N'Gotty

Clapham 6 -

Hume 5 - Linked well with Stearman, but a bit better control needed, some teasing crosses though!

Oakley 6 - Impressed with him tonight.

Clemence 5 - Did'nt notice him much.

Hendrie 6.5 - Deffinately a good influence to the City squad!

DJ 5.5 - Some good moves, still not shown he is worth 2M in my opinion

Howard 5.5 - Same again, 1.5M for a 31 year old striker, probably not the best bit of business we've ever done.

SUBS...

Mattock 6 - Muscled off the ball a bit, but then again, some good moves, coming along nicely.

Hayles 5.5 - Tried, but to no avail!

Fryatt 7 - Looks like subbing the lad has made him as hungry as ever, 2 goals dissalowed, he was on for 20 mins, keep going lad!

Oh, one thing that p*ssed me off so much! A woman behind me, ALL game, slating N'Gotty, 'Why is he on the ****ing pitch, get McAuley on!' 'He's useless, why play him when we have McAuley' ... Well love, maybe McAuley needs to be shown he has competition for his place and is not guaranteed a place! Before he signed a new contract, the lad was playing brilliant, whats up with him just lately?

[FleckneyFox]

Henderson - 6 - Couldnt do anything about the goal. One decent save early on bout it.

Stearman - 6.5 - I thought he had a decent game nothing special

N'Gotty - 5 - Liability. Where was he for their goal it was in his position

Kisnorbo - 6 - Nothing without Big Gaz

Clapham - 5.5 - Pro footballers should be able to use two feet. no support for Hendrie

Hume - 5.5 - Meh didnt do anything

Oakley - 6 - A few decent passes scattered around got stuck in werent great

Clemence - 5.5 - Personally for me not as bad as he has been this season

Hendrie - 5.5 - Did fcuk all

Campbell - 6.5 - Lots of running looked sharp had little effect

Howard - 5 - Playing far too deep on the half way line, Poor tactics on Ollies behalf, his head drops to easily

Mattock - 5 - What did ollie think he was going to do, not an impact player

Fryatt - 6.5 - Had 2 goals disallowed looked sharp

Hayles - 5.5 - Put his weight around

[Hugo Sanchez]

Henderson - 7 - Did well and has a good kick on him but could do nothing for the goal

Stearman - 6 - Didn't look intrested first half but got more into the game

N Gotty - 4 - Played poor

Kisnorbo - 6 - Dealt with everything for 89 mins

Clapham - 6 - Really steady and solid performance.

Hume - 5 - Mardy cnut but not our worst player by far

Clemence - 2 - WHY US GOD

Oakley - 3 - SHOOOT

Hendrie - 6 - Neat touches and some good passing but kept getting moved around too much

Howard - 2 - Nothing - i really do hate him

DJ - 2 - This is the guy who keeps Fryatt out the team ... Please explain why ?

Subs

Hayles - 5 - Tried

Fryatt - 7 - Why we need him in the team people

Mattock - 5 - Not a winger.

[The Reverend]

Hendo - 6 - Feck all to do except a smart save in the first 30 seconds and pick the ball out of his net.

Stearman - 4 - Average really, typical Stearman performance, just doesnt look that good.

N'Gotty - 3 - Where has the former French international gone? Absolute crap, looked afraid to put his head in so resorted to pushing their centre forward, outpaced, clumsy, just really poor

Kis - 3 - Get one of the youngsters in who can pass. Im getting sick of it. Which one would you recommend Thracian?

Clapham - 3 - Same as Stearman, just averagely poor.

Hume - 3 - Woeful. didnt do anything.

Clem - 3 - Rubbish. Nothing.

Oakley - 4 - Average.

Hendrie - 4 - Average.

DJ - 2 - Shit.

Howard - 3 - Shit.

SUBS-

Fryatt - 4 - Perhaps should of been the matchwinner.

**** the others, dont know why i bothered with the first lot.

Overall = -1

[Koke]

I feel sorry for Hume, that's all I'll say. A centre forward who is forced to play out wide and is a weakness at that.

[The Reverend]

Agreed, Hume was non existent.

0 for the fans - A bit harsh I thought. I thought we got behind the team a little, not the best but not bad by our standards.

Thats the point mate - no singing whatsoever is good by Leicesters standards!

[MC Prussian]

I'm surprised to see such high marks from a lot of people, despite the fact that the comments hint at a collective disappointment and anger. Why on earth are you still dishing out 5s and 6s? Get a grip, we're shit!

Edit: I don't think you went to the game did you? We did do some half decent stuff at times, but the collective frustration is because we've managed to piss on ourselves yet again.

[Wezleylowski]

Henderson- Looked alright surprisingly. 6

N'Gotty- Didn't do alot wrong. Crap distribution.5

Kisnorbo- Decent. Shite passing, as per.5

Stears- One of our better players. 6

Clapham- Fooking crap. 3

Hendrie- Full of flicks, little to any effect. Went missing in the middle. 5

Oakley- Plop. His passing was awful. 5

Clemence- Absoloutely shocking. Whats up with Wesolowski. I cant bare to watch this joker anymore. 1

Hume- Rubbish. 4

Howard- He was utter guff aswell. Touch was woeful. And isn't he meant to win headers?

Campbell- Anonymous. Also he's not as quick as everyone makes out, there centre half kept up with him most of the time.

fook off

[Sods]

You've got to be joking. That was probably the worst atmosphere ive ever witnessesd. I watch Southern league Premier standard when im not at Leicester and the atmosphere is much better then what it was tonight. Fair play to you lot in E3 for starting off songs. But the problem is its only 2/3 rows of singing and theirs not a lot anyone can do.

[Fez of Mahrez]

I'm surprised to see such high marks from a lot of people, despite the fact that the comments hint at a collective disappointment and anger. Why on earth are you still dishing out 5s and 6s? Get a grip, we're shit!

We weren't that bad tonight, by this season's standards. 5s and 6s is right. The people awarding 3s to Kisnorbo and N'Gotty are having a giraffe. They weren't really troubled much tonight. N'Gotty isn't pretty to watch but he gets the job done and made countless clearances tonight. It was just an average performance, end of.

5s all round for me although Hendrie played quite well.

[Legend_in_blue]

I can't be bothered to give individual player ratings. Perhaps if I was paid £10 000 a week, I might try to motivate myself to do so, but seriously, do I care? No, I don't give a monkey's.

I'll give an overall rating for the team though. The referee deserves special mention too of course.

Overall team rating = 1

Referee rating = -100 000

Perhaps I'll feel more generous in the morning. Right now, 11.30pm? I can't be arsed. I'm off.

How anyone can give Howard and DJ 6 or above is a joke. They didn't have a shot all night.

[Sods]

Deej was alright although his anticipation is actually terrible.

I dont think this partnership is working to be honest, Howard seems to be doing the fast mobile strikers role, whilst DJ is coming short, holding the ball up and going up for headers.
