Post Match Leicester 2 Blackpool 0

[Doggie_muz]

They gave us a lesson in the first half - not helped by the continuous needless conceding of possession (Wellens), and an over-reliance on the long ball. But I thought we defended exceptionally well, and we could have scored a couple on the counter. Beckford in particular was denied by a great save.

Second half was a different story, and I thought we took them to the cleaners. Could have had a hatful, really, as their defence is shite.

Our back five were excellent. Mills gets criticism for his woeful distribution (quite rightly) but overall they all looked solid.

Beckford and Nugent were excellent. Their movement is top notch, and they are a whisker away from scoring a bucketload

Special praise for Dyer, who had a wonderful game, and Danns who had his best game in a City shirt so far

Overall we simply looked well balanced and organised, with a clear and solid game plan. We aren't going to win the league playing like this, but I reckon top six is well within reach.

Beautifully accurate as ever Homey. Probably lucky to go in one up, but certainly not flattered by the final result. Pearson has brought some structure, some desire and a game plan to us and it has worked wonders. If Mills can learn to distribute, if Dyer can maintain his form (really don't have a replacement for him in this system) and if Nuge and Beck can get a little bit of luck to kick-start a run, then we'll be laughing all the way to the play-offs. The top two remain a long way away.

One of my fairly rare visits to the KP.

The obvious flaws in Sven's set up have been addressed. Instead of trying to maintain possession with a very narrow formation and usually achieving nothing, we now have a chance to open up defences with a winger and with both full backs looking fitting in nicely.

Also for a change we looked physically stronger than the opposition and stepped it up in the second half - NP cam get a response, whlst I just don't think Sven coped with football tactics at this level.

Good too to see all three substitutes (even the couple of minutes of Fernandes) looking to make a difference - and everyone including Beckford at least trying to look motivated.

I don't think that we've got an overwhelmingly strong team - but at least with NP you get the impression that they will punch at their weight rather than below it.

Massive massive win for the Blackpool foxes, well done lads, not only have i gained financially, more importantly we go above them and doing so will keep the gloating tangers quiet for a while (as important for us as beating trees, covscum and rams)

We're there already :icon_wink

Points-wise we're nearer to relegation than we are to automatic promotion.

Not if Portsmouth get a 10 point deduction.

 

[Macky]

We always used to joke we were half expecting him to bring Conrad Logan and stick him on the right wing.

Did somebody just say that once, or did you actually always make that joke? I mean, I know the entertainment was poor at the time , but the same joke over and over is probably overkill.

 

[The Major]

I do think it's a pity then that he portrays himself as such on the radio.

This is the same man who talks with pride about the work he did with Jermaine Pennant when at Notts Co or the man who wanted the club to sign Leon Best?

 

[Motown Fox]

Not if Portsmouth get a 10 point deduction.

Administrator Andrew Andronikou does not believe Portsmouth will be hit by a points deduction.

"I can't see how the club can be deducted points. There's no football debts," he told BBC Radio Solent.

St Ledger isn't a proper potato cruncher though.

What do you expect the administrator who is trying to get investors to put money in to say? He's hardly likely to go around saying that they're going to get a point deduction which will make them favourites for relegation is he? Southampton didn't think they'd get a point deduction but they did and I'd guess the league isn't going to be very impressed.

I'm concerned. Only a few months ago I was receiving warm messages from fellow T.Bs lauding me with the honour of being the most negative miserable old git on the forum. Now, there are several of you who have usurpedmy role . In fact the only thing that really irritated me last night was when the idiot announcer was reading the results & encouraging the blue m..gies to revel in the fact that Forest had been beaten 0-4 by Leeds - when it was clearly in our interests for Forest to get a positive result.

But generally I've learned to love Big Brother.

 

[Miles Away]

Don't worry Reddi...I still consider you to be the most miserable.

Especially since BG and Melton have pissed off.

It may well be; I don't know. But I can only speak as I find - and I find myself hearing a lot from him that is similar or the same as I hear from people who are prejudiced against minorities. If it were me, I would want to change my manner of speaking so that nobody could have any doubts.

I find it sad that in this day and age we cannot give an honest opinion of someone without being accused of racism.

I wonder if Andrew Andronikou believed that Southampton would be hit by a points deduction.

But surely Mick would have a willy, so it would be Unc...




Sorry.





I already have my coat on.

Sorry. I thought you'd gone for good and I was beginning to warm to your role. Now that you're back, I'll happily leave it to you.
