JoeyB Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Good Friday didn’t turn out too good for Chris Weale and Leicester City.Humiliation at the City Ground is becoming a common feeling for Leicester City fans, the one place on the planet our blue army do not want showing up at either. A game between two playoff contenders was played on good Friday and in truth neither looked anywhere near good enough to warrant a place in the top six of the Championship. Miss placed passes were common for each side throughout the affair but the five goals it produced made for compelling viewing. Leicester's school boy defending continued though and a Marcus Tudgay header, in between two City defenders, opened the scoring. City's fans were right to feel aggrieved too. Leicester had started brightly yet their good work was cancelled out by some lacklustre marking. The basics still evading Leicester's backline. Leicester hit back though, a cracker from skipper Matt Oakley, letting fly from the edge of Forest's box with his trusty left boot and the teams ended the half just as it had begun. Forest took the lead again in the second half, Robert Earnshaw picking up a Chris Weale save whilst in a dubiously obvious offside position. The filths cheers were premature though and short lived as City's substitute Darius Vassell knocked in a close range rebound to silence the home fans almost immediately after Earnshaw's strike. A draw was the obvious result here and also what both sides deserved. Unfortunately you don't always reap what you sow in football and Chris Weale will have nightmares about the winning goal. The winner was actually awarded to Forest skipper Paul McKenna but how he can claim it is beyond me. Weale dived, Weale collected......oh no wait he didn't. The travelling contingency was left stunned. Two fight backs from goals down was for nothing and the red side of the Trent had the bragging rights once again. Leicester's promotion hopes are now officially over and in all fairness if you don't beat the sides in and around you then you don't really deserve a place in the top six. Forest now believe that the elusive sixth spot is there's but from watching them for 90 minutes in this encounter I honestly can't see them doing it. To be blunt, I don't think their good enough either. They looked ropey to me, ineffective and poor on the ball. With Burnley, Leeds and even Millwall chasing them I can see our season finishing on a rised smile. One for the tears in Nottingham when they too fail to make the cut.
