Post Match Burton 0 Leicester 2 EFL Cup

[Jeff]

Nacho and Ndidi got the goals.


The second round draw takes place tonight.

Well done, building momentum which is key.

2 out of 2 for Pep Arteta.

When did we last win 2 in a row? Last calendar year??

Decent show and all the players that featured seemed up for it - no half arsed performances which is very pleasing to see.

 

[homer]

Job done

Though Justin, Doyle and Winks played particularly well

Praet was the only one that was dog filth

 

[SilverFox]

Winks very good.

Have we played Wimbledon since they reformed? I’d take them at home next, assuming the draw isn’t divided by north/south again.

Were they in League Two when we were in League One? That feels like it would have been the closest we've been to it.

February? Tete inspired. Comebacks v Spurs and Villa

Felt like a lifetime after watching Rodgers-ball for so long!

 

[Miles Away]

Lots of positives.

Fitness levels look to be improving. Plenty of legs in them even towards the end.
No significant injuries, it appears.
Nacho was superb - has to start moving forward.
Wilf with a lovely goal, hopefully builds his confidence.
New 'Keeper bedded in. Hopefully we don't need him soon.

What was most notable, though, were the absences and substitutions.

Completely out of favour:

Soumare
Thomas
Ward
Souttar

Left on the bench - and he had every opportunity to give them some time:

Daka
Castagne

I'd suggest all of the above are VERY available.

Unsure on Kristiansen (injury or not) but he could well be on that list too.

Iversen 3rd choice now - surely needs to move on.

Wrexham please, and let's all take a moment to laugh at Coventry.

Ha ha.

They were in Conference South with Worcester City, Fisher Athletic and Basingstoke Town.

Going right back there based on tonight

What a load of shit

Didn’t they knock Coventry out?

Defo never crossed paths in the league, just struggling to remember if we’ve played them in a cup.

We haven’t.

Oops - I was talking about Burton

Oh aye. Shite.

 

[tedfoxxx]

I’m not sure why but I’m certain that Nigel Clough is a complete bastard.

 

[tedfoxxx]

We haven’t.

Who Burton or Wimbledon?
