Match Thread Leicester v Preston

[FOX Franks]

This is pretty shit isn't it?

It is.
But, patience is a virtue, so they say

 

[SilverFox]

PNE fans winding up Vardy… because that’s clever.

 

[Miles Away]

They have properly parked the bus.

 

[Graz]

Looked like a foul on Mavididi in the box to me.

Let's hope we don't get hit on the counter and huff and puff ourselves out of energy. Sometimes in matches like these, direct is the only way.

And Leicester fans responding by saying he's won more than you. Which is a load of bollocks. They've won the league and FA cup more times than Vardy has.

It'd be a bit of a suprise if anyone at the match remembers Preston doing this though

And sometimes it isn’t.

Hopefully, but we're getting back in numbers well so far. Preston not particularly breaking with pace.

Hope we score soon because this is very dull to watch. But it's a challenge we need to be able to face and deal with.

And sometimes it isn’t.

True. I don't think we'll resort to that. EnzoBall or nothing until we really nail it down.

He’s won more than you… recently.

Yeah doesn’t roll off the tongue.

 

[Graz]

The passing abilities of Ricardo and Winks, coupled with Vardy and the wingers trying to find space, is our way of unlocking them.

The two attacking mids offer nothing in this situation really. Neither Ndidi or KDH is going to unlock a defence. KDH capable of finishing inside the box though.

 

[Graz]

Oof, lucky the Preston player fluffed that! Good chance for them.

It won’t happen, however much I’d like a Plan B for the times when Enzoball isn’t working.

 

[Graz]

Have the commentators just been transported back to a 1940s wireless radio or is it my TV?

 

[FOX Franks]

where have they found the camera equipment for this “bonus” stream on sky? The quality and consistency of both sound and video is dicey as ****!

 

[popillius]

**** of the day award goes the prick sitting behind me:

"Just ****ing play it forward and stop this passing shit. It doesn't work. Maresca can **** off, he don't know what the **** he's doing"

Sometimes I just think there should be a test you need to pass before being allowed in to the ground.

 

[TommyK]

Classic ten men behind the ball and hope for something on the break....and it's working for them. We need more from our attacking players.

 

[Polar Bear]

Guess pop's neighbour had his eyes shut when Mads hit it long to Mavididi. We are prepared to mix it up when a suitable opportunity arises.

 

[M17TT C]

Poor half really, too slow in possession for us but Preston are making it difficult wihh having everyone back in the final third.

Justin playing terrible imo, many loose passes and most of their threat is coming down his side.

No changes needed just yet but we do need to move the ball quicker and try and get Vardy involved in the game.
