What the Papers Say

[webmaster]

Extracts from today's papers..

Independent:

Leicester, unbeaten in eight games now, deserved to go through having battered a Reading side who played the last 14 minutes with 10 men after Ricky Newman was sent off.

The Reading supporters did not seem too bothered and there were big gaps in the crowd. The large number of visiting Leicester fans thankfully gave the game a bit of an edge and some FA Cup atmosphere. Overall, it was a decent tie with a fair result.


Leicester, relegated from the Premiership last season, then showed the form that could yet help them climb into play-off contention.

Times:

Levein’s side do not give up and they won in stoppage time when James Scowcroft scored, having spent most of the game as a provider to David Connolly.

Leicester won with fine passing, with Scowcroft the fulcrum. He deserved his goal, not least for the way he had set up Connolly three times only for Marcus Hahnemann to make fine saves.

With the way Leicester passed the ball, Reading hardly needed to lose a man.

STAR MAN: James Scowcroft (Leicester)

Walker 7, Maybury 6, Heath 6, Dabizas 6, Stewart 6, Gillespie 6 (Dublin, 89min 6), Williams 8, Gudjonsson 8 (Nalis, 85min 5), Tiatto 7, Scowcroft 9, Connolly 8 (De Vries, 80min 6)

Exactly, boo boys may feel like they have a right to boo the team off the pitch (which they do...having paid to get in), but it achieves nothing. When I was teaching it was always the kids that you encouraged and supported that gave their best...the same applies to the football pitch. If you love Leicester, and you want them to succeed...use your voice.

At the last home game there was a bloke sat in front of me who complained that this is the worst city team he had seen and proceeded to boo them. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him what good that would do...his defense was that he had been coming to watch city for 30 years and could do what he wants. Then when we scored he remained seated and looked gutted that we had scored, almost as though I had proved him wrong! I would say that this man has forgotten how to be a supporter. As have a lot of us, but we must change in our view. We must support the team. If all you do is come to sit and boo then why bother coming?

Support through thick and thin and you might not always win, but you'll feel like a winner because at least you believe in something.

Theres 3 people infront of me who are exactly they same, many a time will they jump up to have a go at Jordy, but they reamin seated when we scored with their arms folded. Why pay x amount of money for a season ticket when all you do is complain. A growing trend!

Yesterdays game was fantasic and finally it felt like we were on the up. I was worried that we were in for another crap performance from our poor start but we turned it arounf and made good of what was bad. I think the crowd has such a big infulance on the team. For example, birmingham, Derby and Bolton we all won with a good atmosphere. Fulham, Sheff U and Millwall we all lost with a crap atmosphere!

Lets hope we continue this great style of play and get up into those play off places!

In the News of The World Dabizas gets in the team of the day. Did he really play that well? Ive read on another thread that he was probably the worst performer in an otherwise good team display.

I didn't think he was bad, but not the best player IMO, lazy paper, lazy reporting.
