PFKAKTF FOX said:Excellent performance and fair play to Rob Kelly who made some very brave decisions today. This was the type of performance we were crying out out for.
Tiatto was excellent and the balance of the side today was there for all to see. Massive improvement and a sign that we are still on the right track, complete opposite of the shite served up over the last 2 games, also noticed that the spirit and togetherness of the team today mirrored what was witnessed last season during the great run under RK.
Mike Hunt Smells said:Without a doubt.
As I have said, Tiatto impressed. Fryatt was excellent - deserved at least one goal. The Ipswich defence seemed to struggle with him and Hammond - another player who performed well. Hughes was quiet but effective on the ball. Johnson was quiet, didn't see him do much. Low was exactly what we needed. He's got good pace and a cracking cross - the kind of player we've been needing for a long time. Kisnorbo and McCarthy were rock solid at the back, Kenton was a bit crazy coming forward but his defensive work was good. Johansson impressed me as well. Hopefully he can get his way back into the starting XI.
Same team and performance at Cov please.
A quick note about the fans, I thought we were excellent. The kop even started the "E-I-E-I-E-I-O" and the "East Stand, start the wave" chants.
Brilliant day. Hopefully we get more of the same in the season to come.

Spot on No.6 Muzzy Izzet, I only hope he scores goals like that on a regular basis and commands his position (rightly so) in the centre of midfield and if he does all you GW fans on here are going to left dissapointed.No.6 Muzzy Izzet... said:Chim chimery chim chimery chim chim cheroo, who needs Gareth Willaims when youve got steve huuughes
No.6 Muzzy Izzet... said:so 'josh low is on the other side' and that has somehow enabled Tiatto to play better.
how does that work?

Profile: Matty Fryatt
With no goals and no points going into the Ipswich match, there was a certain expectancy placed on Leicester's forwards. The present crop are not quite yet in the class of, say, Gary Lineker or Alan Smith, but one local lad has become a firm favourite with the Leicester fans since his transfer from Walsall in January.
Although midfielder Stephen Hughes won the man-of-the-match bubbly, 20-year-old forward Matty Fryatt epitomised Leicester's passion and their desire to win.
On another day, he could have had a hat-trick: one goal was ruled out by a harsh offside flag, another chance was cleared off the line and a first-half mis-kick wasted perhaps his best opening. He created the third goal, though, a deft touch on the turn setting up substitute Iain Hume. But more than all that, Fryatt's work rate impressed.
For all their failings, Ipswich do not lack muscle at the back. Fryatt's willingness to put himself about unsettled the opposition. He loses half a foot in height to 6ft 4in De Vos, but one tussle ended in a Leicester corner when the Ipswich captain only had to make a simple clearance. Once Fryatt gets his first goal of the season, you suspect a hatful more might follow.
