Maybes Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 What a mad day. First of all as Bert has stated, I was supposed to arrive at leicester train station around 8.20am. At that time I was still in bed, mashed out of my face, feeling very ill. I ended up getting to the station for 9.30 in the end Car journey - sheffield onwards. Mainly trying to get a cheeky 5minute kip without being attacked by the kids Game: Really enjoyable gamed, in which we dominated and Carlisle looked like a very poor outfit. Hoof after hoof. They had absolutely nothing to offer, so it came as a surprise when they scored. Like others have said we do miss the tunch who is the coolest cookie in the jar. Steve Howard, Matt Oakley and Kerrea Gilbert were class today and Howard was unlucky to see his effort crack the bar. Good atmosphere from the city faithfull and a good turnout. Carlisle fans... poor.
lavrentis Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Yeah well we got lost in Stoke :laugh: It felt long!I ripped his hood quite badly Stoke is a bad place to navigate through, we also got lost in Stoke when we went to Wales only armed with a roadmap and the sun as guidance. Got lost in Chester too!
Thracian Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Stoke is a bad place to navigate through, we also got lost in Stoke when we went to Wales only armed with a roadmap and the sun as guidance. Got lost in Chester too! You don't have to "navigate" through Stoke. You just drive as far as you can on the A50 and turn either right or left just past their football ground. Both roads lead to the M6. It's only if you turn off the A50 before the ground that you're in trouble. Real trouble quite likely!
Tilley Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 After reading the player ratings from those who went, it is nice to see Oakley is beginning to play the way we all know he can, very good to hear. He is in a good run of form recently.
Asha Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Who actually scored the winner, was it Berner or Davies?
jimmer Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Who actually scored the winner, was it Berner or Davies? Yes this is starting to annoy me now!.....The Championship said it was Davies. On the OS match report they write that Berner scores the winner yet in the stats box it says Davies!?!........are they the same person..
jimmer Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 And I'm sorry Tom Moore, I absolutely cocked you in the mouth, I literally had no control over my limbs at the time. :laugh:
RussianLeicesterFan Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Waw!!! We are the cahmpions! we are the champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simi Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Good day out, was not impressed with the tour through Stoke, having had little sleep and little leg room it call became too much for me. Sorry boys. As for the match, King did his usual trick of not doing a lot until he goes and scores. Can't complain I suppose. Add to that a couple of good passes though. Davies was very busy when he came on and helped to hurry Carlilse at a time when they didn't want that pressure. Deserved his goal, no matter how convinced everyone around me was it was Berner. Howard was class. Probably should have scored his chance. However, his hold up play was second to none. He seemed a lot more confident today with his lay offs and grabbed an assist for the winner. Really does need a goal though. Great win for us along way from home, will have done the team no end of confidence.

He is in a good run of form recently. Yup. The midfield seem more compact and together with him, C-Man pointed out to me yesterday, that we were shit in midfield against D+R, funnily enough he wasn't playing. Key player for us. Yes this is starting to annoy me now!.....The Championship said it was Davies.On the OS match report they write that Berner scores the winner yet in the stats box it says Davies!?!........are they the same person.. My first instinct was that it was Berner. Spot yourself.. I can see me!
whitlock Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Oh yeah, and Michael Bridges, you ****, GUTTED. What did he do?
Bert Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 What did he do? When they scored, he ran by us with his hand behind his ear, as to say, what's the score? Nobhead.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 When they scored, he ran by us with his hand behind his ear, as to say, what's the score? Nobhead. Least Lloyd did it in the last minute at Hudds.

Bert Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Least Lloyd did it in the last minute at Hudds. When he knew that we'd win.... Are you sure it was Lloyd and not Ashley? There was still 60 minutes left to go in this one!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 When he knew that we'd win.... Are you sure it was Lloyd and not Ashley? There was still 60 minutes left to go in this one! Yeah, 60 minutes left!! What a plank!! Glad we made that Kevin Phillips eat his words though.
Bert Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Yeah, 60 minutes left!! What a plank!! Glad we made that Kevin Phillips eat his words though. Good old Ched. Twice in a season
Bert Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Afternoon boys. Thanks for providing some of the days comedy pal.
Bert Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Apparently they were the better team yesterday and we're not a good footballing side. " It's the small difference in the game between success and failure isn't it. We have just said that in the dressing-room, if Bridgey (Michael Bridges) puts that one away with a fantastic bit of skill, at 2-0 you think that we might have put up with what they had to throw at us. Because I thought that we coped quite well defensively with it for most of the afternoon. I thought that we defended very, very well, there was a lot of spirit there." If Bridgey puts that one in then I think that it would have knocked the stuffing out of them and we probably would have ended up going on to win the game. That's football though isn't it, it is very, very quick, they go up the other end and score and it puts you on the back-foot a little bit, but that's the way it goes. " They are a tough side, they are not the best side in terms of playing football, but they are powerful and they are tough. Their frontline of (Steve) Howard and (Matty) Fryatt are very good and hard to deal with. I don't think that they outpassed us, I don't think that they outplayed us, they got the ball forward quickly and they possibly outmuscled us at times up the top end. " They are a tough side and a good side, tougher than a lot of the other teams and that is probably why they will go on and be right up amongst the thing at the end of the season. Because there are prettier sides but there are not many tougher ones and they have got good players in good positions, and they showed that today. " " He (Danny Graham) has got us off to a good start, it gave us something to be encouraged by and I actually felt that we caused them probably more problems in the second-half. Cleveland (Taylor) got into gear in the second-half and asked a lot of question of the left-back (Chris Powell then Bruno Berner), he fired in a few crosses. " We probably didn't get the same amount on the left side but Jeff (Smith) has done a good job defensively in helping out Michael (Liddle) and stopping that. We needed more from him though in terms of crosses and bits and pieces like that. When the ball has been fired into the box we have got to get people on the end of it and we have got to be brave to go in those areas and get bodies into the box, and unfortunately today we didn't do that. " Graham (Kavanagh) has got a terrific right foot, his passing and part of his game is set-pieces. If you talk to anybody in football they will tell you how good he is and today he has not really got on top of his deliveries. The best one that he put in was probably the last one and it caused all sorts of problems, I think that Michael Bridges ended up having a shot that went just wide of the far-post there. " So we have got to get that delivery in and it is something that we work on every day, so don't think that we don't because we do. On the day he has not produced but that will be different I hope in other games. " I think that there a lot of things good out there, I am not downhearted. A defeat is hard to take but we have got to take a bit of encouragement out of the fact that we have performed very well. We pushed Leicester all the way you know today. Nigel (Pearson) has just said absolutely brilliant and that we have caused them lots of problems today and that we have got them playing. " Link.
