Brilliant performance last night, playing like champions do. Everyone played great but Da Laet, Nuge and Vardy stood out for me.Vardys pace is phenomenal, his hold up play is great for a small guy, he is a clinical finisher now as well. Nuge scored 2 ok one was lucky but he also set up the other two and has a great understanding with Vardy. Da Laet processes pace and gets up and down the right side very well and took his goal like a natural striker. The rest of the team played great, Dyer was very good 1st half, Drinky rarely ever looses the ball keeps thinks ticking over.

So how does everybody feel this morning? :D

That's why you follow your team. All those crap games even crap seasons you put up with, the £100's of pounds you spend each season following your team.

You do it for that feeling, you do it because sometimes you witness a great match, a great atmosphere and it feels wonderful.

Feel sorry for those who stayed away and watched it on sky. You have to be at these games to really experience that wonderful feeling.

I really don't feel comfortable saying this, but David Nugent, you Sir, can take a bow.

 

What I saw yesterday was majestic. The fluidity was sublime. It was a show of football that young boys dreams are made of.

Why does it make you feel uncomfortable to praise one of our players?

Because I am one of his harshest critics and he flatters to deceive for the most part, so I don't want to praise him for him to become pedestrian again the next game.

 

But regardless of that, yesterdays performance deserved a mention, it was an extraordinary showing. I even smiled at one point.

I wish I could attend games more often! Coming over for a couple of matches in April so hopefully we will be in the same position then.

I went to a little pub in Aarhus and watched it with my dad and some mates last night. Safe to say the rest of the pub knew what team we were supporting. It was amazing!

That move where we olé'd it around for 5 minutes then suddenly upped the pace and attacked with Dyer from the right, that was magic. The sheer belief of the players was palpable at that moment, they felt like Real Madrid.

I think for many Leicester fans who know anything about football, we saw that potential in the squad/team from last season.  That performance last night typifies why you should stick by a manager who clearly knows his stuff.  We had a great mix of strength, speed, tempo, one touch passing and an appetite/work ethic that was second to none.  For me It simply has to be one of the best performances I have witnessed at the KP.

Fair Report from Ramzone

 

Rams Bruised & Beaten Badly By Boys In Blue!
Friday, 10th Jan 2014 23:02 by Daniel J Sewart

The best home record in the Championship came head to head with the best away record and it was the home record that came away the runaway victor. Leicester not only proved their promotion credentials, Derby showed they still have a long way to go.

 

As a Rams fan you could try and take come consolation from the fact that the Foxes are by far and away the best team in the League and are likely to run away with the title this season. Unfortunately the hapless effort that Derby put in, is unlikely to be washed away by any such excuse as they looked a class below where they will need to be to even challenge for a top 6 place.

After a first 15 minutes where both teams traded blows, providing an entertaining spectacle, slowly but surely Leicester began to gain a stranglehold as the warning signs were plain for all to see.

 

 

The Foxes were beginning to tear the Rams apart in midfield and in turn the forward creativity of Dyer, Vary and Nugent who all had early chances, looked by far and away a class above anything the Rams had to offer.

Chances were becoming easier for the home team to create as a flat footed Derby began to look tired and devoid of the spark that had propelled them up the league.

When Dyer, who was giving the Rams a torrid time, missed an open goal after Grant could only palm the ball away from goal, it seemed that a goal was coming unless Derby found some ticker fast.

Unfortunately no ticker was in the Rams kit bag so the inevitable came to pass when the Foxes finally put the ball in the back of the net. He started the move himself from right-back with a run that bamboozled two Rams, threw in a one-two with Nugent for good measure and finished by firing it low, easily beating Lee Grant.

From there the Foxes blew the Rams off the park and how the home side were not ahead by 4 or 5 goals by half-time was a mystery in itself. Derby did not have a single effort on target in the first half and despite some decent play in the first 10-15 minutes, never really looked like troubling the home side.

When Leicester hit the bar twice in quick succession, first from a shot on goal by Vardy from a near impossible angle and then Liam Moore smashed the ball into the cross bar by head from a corner.

It was going to be a case of the Rams hanging on till half time and hoping that Steve McClaren might have a team talk for the ages ready to break the glass on in case of such an emergency.

The Rams hung on but lord knows how as they were totally dominated in every department and on the balance of play should have been beaten by half time.

I don’t know about other Rams fans but I was surprised McClaren did not make any changes at half time to try and inject some life into the stagnant Rams. It seemed as if they desperately needed it but then again giving them a chance to redeem themselves was worth a try.

Unfortunately there was no respite for the Rams as after seeing the Foxes miss so many sitters, the home teams second was more luck than class but in all honestly if anyone deserved a slice of luck, it was the home team. When Nugent's shot was saved only to bounce back off his legs and into the net and into goal.

McClaren decided like the rest of us the team on the park had no chance and tried to inject some life into proceedings with new loan signing Patrick Bamford and Mason Bennett coming on for Dawkins and Ward.

There was a brief flicker of hope when Bamford got straight into the thick of it by shooting low. His effort was turned away for a corner and resulted in a Buxton header being deflected in by De Laet for an own-goal.

A slight heart beat but only slight.

Any hope the Rams may gather momentum was snuffed out when Craig Forsyth had a brain snap after shepherding Vardy away from goal only to bring him down on the edge of the box with a poor sliding tackle. Nugent stepped up and converted his 8th penalty of the season.

Rams flat-lined and pronounced dead.

Forsyth’s moment of madness triggered a full collapse as Nugent made it four and heaped more embarrassment on a Derby team who had hoped to regain some pride and momentum.

Instead it was three losses in a week with 8 days of soul searching ahead as McClaren will attempt to bring his team out of a nose dive when they welcome Brighton next weekend.

RamZone will present a completed report, match reaction, stats and more tomorrow but until then - we might just retreat to lick our wounds and try desperately not to have nightmares about a week of being beaten by boys in blue!

That was a pleasant evening even pulled a young lady in the narborough arms.

tactically almost perfect with dyer and knocky doing a good deep defensive job and creating a load of space for the front two.loved some of Knockys crossfield balls from deep to move the point of attack.Shame for Konch but the cover is there now.Players looked extremely fit to a man
