The first half almost put me to sleep, despite the two quick goals by Leicester. Coalville played with a little more confidence in the second half which made the game more interesting. Leicester City hit the bar a few times, and they missed a few shots from 6-yards out. It could have been more for Leicester, but credit to Coalville. They played well, and made a game of it.

Any first teamers involved? And what was the approx attendance?

Good match. Dodds was a class above everyone and should have scored at least another 3. I was disappointed with Sheehan, im not sure about him. Gradel looked decent, similar to Sylla but actually wanted to play football. Porter needs to find a position and stick though he seemed happier once moved permanently to the centre. Dodds, Sheehan and porter could do with season long loans to a lower league club to get them ready for us in a couple of years. Fecking freezing too!!!

Fecking freezing too!!!

It started to get quite cold when the wind picked up.

Attendance? 400-500? I'm terrible at guessing attendances. The Coalville fans found their voices in the second half, but the Leicester fans couldn't be bothered. :icon_lol: It looked like more Coalville supporters at the game then Leicester supporters, which isn't a huge surprise, I suppose.

Who was the centre back for LC #5?

It was so badly advertised it's no wonder there were so few City fans. Again they missed a good opportunity to give families a chance to see the stadium and watch a city side. I thought Coalville were the stronger side in the second half and it showed (Men against boys) . However better football from city in extra time paid off. Coalville looked very tired towards the end.
