I thought that overall it was a really good day out. The lads were lucky IMO to get a draw, and I was happy to leave with a point, despite telling my mates before the match that I wouldn't be. We started out the better side and we thoroughly deserved the goal, our best player Stearman finishing off a smart move. I thought we were going to run away with the match at this point, but soon after Stern John equalised. And Cov controlled the game from there on. Stearman, Johansson, Kisnorbo and Gerrbrand were rocks at the back, they were excellent at keeping McSheffrey, Adebola, John, Scowcroft et al at bay. A second Cov goal IMO was imminent, and it came, fortunately being ruled out for offside. I thought that Henderson had another commanding game, but despite this, I still do not trust him for corners. Half time in the concourses was mental, well played to all the City fans for really packing it out. :038: Second half was the same as the first, with Cov dominating, and I thought chances of us sneaking away with a point were gone when Kisnorbo got sent off for a very late, rash challenge. The move that surprised me the most was to bring Hume and Fryatt off for Hughes and Elvis. I would have thought we would have gone for the win, but maybe RK was happy with the point. I only found out after the game that they both weren't 100%, so I think it could have proved to be a good decision. Elvis ran but didn't provide much else to the game. I was relieved when the final whistle went, happy we had held on to the point.

The support today was fantastic. The atmosphere could IMO have been better, but then again I was sat in a crap part of the ground, so I probably missed a lot of the noise. 5,000 City fans were electrifying, especially when the twat Wise was near.

With performances like that on the pitch and in the stands, it can only be a matter of time before the good times roll on back to this great football club of ours.


Leicester till I die.

We're half way there.
The last few months have been great, just how good is it when we win?
:038:
 
Also not to mention we got lucky with a save off line & scramble in penality box ... Also wise's attempt for an over head kick wernt half bad the gnome`ish fanny. Same happend on saturday those City off to a promising start against Preston and dropped down to 2-1.. there's some thing about defense not doing so well on wing if you ask me...

Strange how different people see the same game, I thought Henderson was very poor and just seemed to wait for the ball to come to him rather than the other way round. I was quite near the front and you could see Maybury getting on his back for this throughout the game.

There was absolutely no width yesterday and Williams had a bit of a mare really. Joey is back to his old ways of pass first, look later and Tiatto didn't make that much of a contribution apart from that shot in the first half. All in all the midfield needs a good overhaul before the start of next season, a bit of experience and strength would be ideal, and funnily enough a player that could could that job for us was playing for KovSkum yesterday - Don Hutchinson.

The amount of noise in the first 15 minutes was fantastic but then at times you could here a pin drop. The KovSkum support was as I expected largely pathetic apart from their one and only crap song. The atmosphere only really picked up again in the 2nd half after Wise dived to the floor right in front of us. He really is an odious twat of a man.

All in all I think we should be a lot happier than KovSkum with the point.

Me: Ended 2-1 Poorly enough.
Deformed Sea Mamal: Oh that's too bad better luck next time hey!
Me: :098: Yeah same could be said about coventry."

Tell you what those some right spac's there also hear some one complaining about they tryed to buy some thing from the Kiosk but they didnt have it properly and it was advertised.... so i hear alot of F'Ing & Blinding stuff going on (Shit ground at end of day) right next to a skip yard and all.
 
Happy to get the point once Kisnorbo got himself sent off. I thought the ground was OK, the service on the concourses was no worse than that at the Walkers. All in all a good day out.
