The Lions V The Foxes- FA cup 3rd round match thread- 12.30 KO

[Lionlincs]

Twice there were balls that could have been squared to Nisbet, who got himself in good positions and twice he was left pointing at his feet as if to say, ‘“Why the fuck didn’t you square it?”

Could have maybe been two up before they scored!

3 times in first half would have been tap ins with composed thinking.

Square the ball is basic

 

[Lionlincs]

The Haters arms is open at half time

I think an excellent 1st half undone by 2 clinically taken goals

Leicester fans getting right on my man tits.

u wot u wot u wot u wot u wot

Hard to explain, as good as half as we've played for 4 years but we're 2-0 down.
Perspective though is Perriera £22m, Coady £8m, Cannon £8m to name just 3.

 

[Wippa]

No, he stayed on his line, Leonard beaten in the air

Fair enough. Just thought his reflexes were a bit slow

 

[Lionlincs]

Cannon alone cost more than the fees paid for our starting 11 including 2 most expensive signings for us!

Perspective, we’ve played really well and but for a bit of composure would have been 2 up before their 1st

 

[Andover_Lion]

We’ve played good football but lacked the quality in the final 3rd.

This.

Fuck the FA Cup!

More interested in getting 3 points against Boro next Saturday!

Nightmare if Leonard's injury will keep him out for a while.
He's really been a big influence on how we've been starting to get it together these last few weeks.

I think it’s to be expected now from Lenny. He’s always picking up injuries, even before we got him.

If he had an injury free career he’d have been a premier league player without a doubt

I'll probably get some stick for this, but to play a vital player for us who we all know is very delicate in this match was a bad decision by JE!!

Have to hope he’s only tweaked it and it’s not a full on pull!

A tweak for Leonard is a 2 month injury for him

True mate but history tells us it was only a matter of time. Would have been more damaging to us had it happened after the transfer window had shut. Fucking frustrating but may well have forced our hand in either a good solid loan or dip into the market cause with age getting the better of Hutchinson we can't bank on him either. Need a settled pairing as it's the basis of the spine of the team.

I actually think he's tried to keep the momentum going, as much as a risk as that is of course. Would have been easy to make 8 changes, thrown the game away and then tired to get playing again.
As I said, this is as good as we've played football for a long time. I;ll take that as I can see the progress being made.

 

[cold blow]

By Lennys reaction he knows he will be out for a while, gutted for him he was playing well.

 

[Life with the Lions]

So if we’re still 2-0 down come the 70th minute, would anyone like to see some of the youngsters on the bench come on (though we could risk Leicester scoring more), or just try and keep it a respectable 2-0 loss to an ex Prem team?

 

[Poplar Lion]

Another attack down the right, Longman into the box, straight at the keeper

 

[Poplar Lion]

great ball by Honeyman, Dunc tricks through but defender gets in the way

Danny looking a different player
