Monk Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Despite it being a rather scrappy game, it was immensely exciting and Wolves definitely took advantage of our complacency and at times sloppy passing. Second half I felt we lacked an extra midfielder, and DD was rather lost trying to hold the middle together. Definitely one of those games you need to win when you're not at your best. Excellent 3 points, all good goals. Credit to Lloyd for pulling the defender for Nuge's goal - nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 We had our fair share of luck tonight,but we missed at least two guilt edge chances. Sako looked a beast, terrific strike. Please tell me what King offers in midfield? the master of the sideway pass. I remember Kingy making a cracking covering tackle when Keane got beat, he wasn't too bad tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Way too tight in the end, uncomfortable viewing We gave struggled to retain the ball and struggled to get it back, Wolves even had a few chances and the last one where Wes lost SEB im sure Wes used his hand to knock it off his nut But we won, well done Nuge (good work Lloyd), three points and a smile. Keep it up lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Just got back and my word that was such a hard fought victory, we fought to the end tonight and luckily came out on top, that game was nearly as nail biting than the Middlesbrough game. Thought we played brilliantly in the first half, but second half we were all over the place, they dominated and deserved much more, they were very unlucky. Thought most players were average tonight, but two players impressed me and they were Wes Morgan and Anthony Knockaert, Wes Morgan is officially the best defender we have had since Matt Elliott, the guy is incredible, strength and composure he shows is first class. Knockaert ran them ragged in the first half especially, they couldn't handle him and everything good basically came from him, such a well taken goal as well, the control, run and finish was top class. Wood and Nugent just didn't fire tonight, apart from Nugent's goal and a couple of Wood lay offs they were both average, but got to hand it to Nugent for a well taken goal. I thought Richie De Laet was very poor tonight, defensively he was poor, attacking wise he was poor. Very lucky tonight, very hard fought, key three points. Well done Leicester!!!

Buggsteam Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Not the best performance from us but I'll take the three points. Knocky and Marshall looked dangerous first half and seemed to switch of 2nd. We should have had a pen and how did Henry not even get booked let alone stay on the pitch. Wes Morgan stand up and take a bow. The guy is a rock and that's one thing we can thank the trees for. Def got to be player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Not the best performance, but a good result. Agree with the comments about King. The problem is he doesn't pass the ball forward at all, a bit like Drinkwater in some respects. I know he chipped in a few times helping out with the defending but that's the least I'd expect, he needs to do more than just that to justify his place IMO. Was never really a part of the game today, which is not something you want to be saying about someone playing in the centre of midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterboyuk Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Wes was immense at times tonight, glad we got through that with three points. Bit of a mugging by us but that's the hallmark of a successful team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Knockaert is the best player I've seen at Leicester in 18 years supporting the club. I absolutely love watching him play. Quote Nugent post match: "If we can keep hold of him" We're looking good though. We've come so far. Obligatory Negativity: Marshall was gash.

shearfox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 These are the games you need to win to gain promotion, well we did that... won every league game this year could you ask for more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Hard fought win and just about deserved I think although Wolves played well in the 2nd half. Up the Foxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Dream Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Looking bench tonight concerned me, when we needed to change it, particularly in midfield we just didn't seem to have the right option. Got away with it tonight which makes up for the game in September to some degree. I'll start worrying about performances if its the same against Posh and Charlton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 I think tonight and Saturday have proved how vital Matty James has become for us in the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Dream Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 I think tonight and Saturday have proved how vital Matty James has become for us in the past month. Agreed.

shearfox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 I think tonight and Saturday have proved how vital Matty James has become for us in the past month. I was thinking the same, James is the difference between an easy win and a well fought win in my opinion, surprised united let him go... Agreed.

ashfosse Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 had to change my pants a few times there! wolves deserved a point but then so did we at theres earlier in the season. my main point is the squad. for me pearson needs to go out and get a midfielder in on loan. towards the end of that game it was crying out for a midfielder to come on for a striker but we didnt seem to have anyone? why put waghorn on when we werent seeing any of the ball? where was james? delighted with the win but i do feel were a bit short in some areas if we get an injury or two.

MIAMI_FOX Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 I was nervous about this game and could see us slipping up, so I'm so happy that we dug in and got the 3 points. Any team getting promotion will need a slice of luck along the way (and we have had some bad luck against us too remember!!) At the end of the day, we deserve to be where we are in 2nd spot at present. Long way to go but every game that passes that we can remain there and also suffer no new injuries is a relief! Pressure on the teams below us now on Saturday to keep up with us. Our goal difference is like an extra point to us too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Phew, went down expecting comfortable win and my heart has only just returned to it's rightful place! Big Wes, Nuge n Knocky were quality and promotion teams do win ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 I remember Kingy making a cracking covering tackle when Keane got beat, he wasn't too bad tonight He did make an important challenge, but that has summed up his contribution.
