Northampton Boss: Leicester are direct and rigid

[lildave3]

Fair bit of hoofing, but once we got it down we looked good. The move for the second goal was poetry.

[Corky]

It's alright him saying we're direct, but the best passing move of the game lead to the winner.

You've summed it up perfectly Lise. Wonderful move, deserved to win any game.

[Thracian]

Pearson had his response all planned.

He said: "Lads, in the first half we'll play direct and rigid and still hold our own. Then in the second half, we'll play the passing football that we're capable of and we'll win"

Seriously, I reckon he had a word with them at half-time because there was a lot more passing football second half and a lot less hoofing.

You're right but the big reason was probably Northampton starting to run out of gas and failing to close us down quite so quickly. Once our midfielders gained a bit of space we started passing them to near submission.

We just let ourselves concede a bit of easy ground in the last five or six minutes and you just knew they'd have a chance or two. And how close they were to scoring! I really wish we wouldn't do it.

Someone get him his pills for gods sake.

Basically saying, "Pearson's a solid bloke. I respect him enormously. But he's got about as much imagination as a concrete lamp-post and I'm going to whip his arse."

Nice one Thrac.

If only they would speak like this in post match interviews then football would be a lot more entertaining

We need to appoint Vince MacMahon head of the Football League.

Rigid and Direct that's us.

We're a bloody great Battering Ram who smash all before us.

As Northampton learned.
