Four-midable Foxes See Off Tranmere
Posted on: Thu 01 Oct 2009

Leicester City's Reserves once more were on the goal trail, overcoming Tranmere Rovers Reserves 4-1 at the Walkers Stadium this evening (Wednesday).

Goals from DJ Campbell (2), Max Gradel and Luke O'Neill were enough for the Foxes as their totesport.com cup campaign continues.

On looking Academy Director, Jon Rudkin, will no doubt be proud as a number of his young charges comfortably took to the field alongside the returning Steve Clemence in the City line-up.

The match witnessed Max Gradel fulfil the unfamiliar role of captain on the night, a role that the young winger appeared to revel in with an all action performance in the City midfield.

A name more familiar to the captain's role, Steve Clemence, made more great strides towards full fitness completing 60 minutes on the night.

Following tonight's result City's reserves now have amassed a staggering 11 goals in just 4 games, with many of City's young hopefuls making their mark as they look to catch the eye of Nigel Pearson and his coaching staff.

City Team: Pentney, O'Neill, Bolger, Parkes, Ajdarevic, Gradel, Clemence (Milnes), Hicks, John (Moore), Campbell, Yussuf (Chamberlain)

Subs not used: Ambrusics, Hoban

Yussuf was awful. Chamberlain who came on for him at half time looked lively though

 

[Miles Away]

What about Parkes?

 

[alex]

DJ scores again...How on earth he can't even make the bench is beyond me.

 

[TommyK]

What about Parkes?

He was good against Coventry in the under18s on Saturday

Because there is a huge gulf between Tranmere reserves and the Championship

 

[drummindefender]

DJ looked more of a goal threat last night then waghorn has done all season

 

[Lako42]

When will people get it into their heads that the reason DJ is not playing is not ability related.


It's getting tedious.

He hardly had the ball all game. :icon_lol:

What about Parkes?

I like him. Big, strong. I thought the back 4 were fairly impressive for 3 parts of them being young lads.

Against Tranmere reserves for fecks sake.

 

[Willlow]

I really hope Clemence gets back to full fitness, would be a great player to have in the squad!!

So? Im not saying the standard was the same, but being completely dismissive of the mans abilities based on the fact hes a **** is naive. he would definitely score more goals then waghorn in the championship.

 

[drummindefender]

He hardly had the ball all game. :icon_lol:

and yet he still scored two goals and could have had another couple. if anything that is a positive

Waghorn hasn't really played so I'm not sure what you are basing that on?

 

[drummindefender]

Every game ive been this season he has come off the bench for a good amount of time and has never had a decent attempt on goal. He runs around alot but never gets into good positions

 

[indierich06]

He won't get a look in at City while Pearson's in charge and rightly so. I'd wager that our good form of late is largely down to the fact that the squad morale and team spirit is high - why ruin things by bringing that poisonous element, who has stated that he DOES NOT WANT TO BE HERE into the squad? What kind of message does that send to players who are slogging their guts out for a first team place?

His attitude is disgusting, the sooner he's gone the better.

Spot on, yet some people still don't understand this.

 

[Jeff]

DJ's scored loads of goals for the reserves, I reckon he should start at Cov. For them.

Oh i agree with you dj attitude is the reason he is out the squad, hence why i called him a ****. i was just stating from an ability viewpoint, hes better then waghorn. If people actually read what i said there wouldn't have to get all worked up
