Uneventfull boring game on a dreadfull pitch, i think we were brought down ththeir level, the defence looked solid midfield competative but not creative enough strikers squanderered what few chances we had
Ratings:
Kasper 7 - a couple of good saves a few dodgy kicks but overall a confidend display
RDL 7 - defensively pretty sound, tried to get forward but when he did it came to nothing, a solid display against a tricky winger
Morgan - 9 Superb captains performance, headed/kicked/tackled everything that came his way even tried to venture forward at times
Keane -6 fairly composed apart from a few miskicks (i expected SSL to play today following Keanes recent form)
Konch -6 i was a tad worried pre game as he hasnt been at his best recently and i thought Ince might trouble him, but Konch came through the game ok and hopefully a sign he is getting back to his best btw i wish hed take some inswinging corners
Kane -6 apart from a superb first half volley he didnt look too threatening, he worked hard enough but didnt look a goal threat
King -6 worked hard enough,put his boot in at times and tracked back well but wasnt creative.
Drinkwater - 6 as King, but wasnt helped by the playing surface
Marshall - 5 involved a lot early on but was again out of sorts
Nuge - 5 rightly taken off, his spark/touch/ enthusiasm has deserted him, we need him to get back on form
Wood - 6 looked our main goal threat, dissapointing penalty and even worse missed chance later on, im not too concerned, the goals will come
Subs
Dyer 6 little impact didnt see much of the ball
Knocky 6 did his best to get on the ball and was direct, im sure we would have created more if he had started
Vardy 6 no impact
The fans were very vocal and supportive in a sub-standard possibly unsafe stadium/away stand
All in all it was probably a fair result, but a game we would have won at a canter 4 weeks ago
For the Blackpool/ NW Foxes it was important not to lose this one yet im still a bit downbeat in what could easily have been 3 welcome points
Thank you DPJ This was a very useful post for those of us who were not there.
I was wondering what mark out of 10 you would have given Knockaert for the Charlton game when I thought he was extremely poor.
