clazkel Posted 16 April 2008 Posted 16 April 2008 I would have considered that, had I not been told by someone who know's Joe Mattock that Joe was dropped for absolutely no reason on Saturday, so he's fully fit. Therefore why would one need 45 in preperation for Saturday?. Ollie said on the radio after the Colchester game that Mattock had a ropey game against Sheff Utd so he brought Clapham in as he has more experience. I think its ridiculous, Mattock played ok at Sheff Utd, he got exposed quite alot as Bell didn't get back much to help him defend. He should never have been dropped on sat for Clapham, its pathetic.
Thracian Posted 16 April 2008 Posted 16 April 2008 Nice to see Beswick making the only open play goal for Andy King despite only being on for half an hour. That's four goals in the last five games King's played for the reserves, not bad for a central midfielder.
Daggers Posted 16 April 2008 Posted 16 April 2008 Reniel Sappleton slotted home The Sappletizer Woohoo!

Geo V Posted 17 April 2008 Posted 17 April 2008 Ollie said on the radio after the Colchester game that Mattock had a ropey game against Sheff Utd so he brought Clapham in as he has more experience. I think its ridiculous, Mattock played ok at Sheff Utd, he got exposed quite alot as Bell didn't get back much to help him defend. He should never have been dropped on sat for Clapham, its pathetic. It isn't that ridiculous though. Mattock could/should learn a lot from Clapham in training about position, timing of the tackle and when to break forward. Joe obviously has ability but we didnt have much experience in that position for him to learn from. Hopefully Claphams experience can help him like Hendrie and Oakleys should assist Weso and Kings careers. As for the reserve game, Mattock came off on the hour so I too think that he was given a game to sharpen up in readiness for Saturday. Its good to see the lads putting in a 3-0 win because it shows they are trying to impress for the first team and although minor, it will be a confidence boost as winning usually becomes a habit.
davieG Posted 17 April 2008 Author Posted 17 April 2008 Our Version Goals from Ricky Sappleton, Andy King and Zsolt Laczko helped City reserves to a 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Wednesday evening. The Foxes went into the game on the back of two defeats in the Pontin's Central League. But a strong second string line up, including the likes of Ben Alnwick, James Chambers, Harry Worley, Joe Mattock, Gabor Bori, Radi Kishishev, Andy King and Zsolt Laczko, put that record to rest with a fine performance away from their home patch. Young striker Ricky Sappleton gave City the lead in the ninth minute of the contest - converting from the spot after Bori had been brought down in the Baggies penaly area. Leicester continued to control the game, and their efforts were further rewarded eight minutes from time when King fired home from the edge of the box. And the Foxes made it three at the death - Laczko tucking away the second penalty of the night following a handball. Steve Beaglehole said: "We played really well and I am very pleased with the performance from the lads. "It was an excellent team display - from front to back. "I have to say that the attitude of the players was fantastic. There was a real desire from them to get something out of the game. "I'm sure the victory will give everyone at the c lub a boost ahead a run of important first team fixtures." City: Alnwick, Chambers, Worley, Rowe-Turner, Mattock (Magunda), Bori, Kishishev, A King, Laczko, Sappleton (Cox), C King (Beswick). Subs not used: Pentney, Garner.
Thracian Posted 17 April 2008 Posted 17 April 2008 Which is truely amazing as according to the teamsheet Beswick replaced King on 60 mins I wonder if someone mistook Andy King for Craig King. Sorry, I note that's confirmed in the OS report.
