We showed the league what are all about tonight and sent  out shock waves  !!  Unfortunately shock waves of how  poor Leicester must be to not lay a glove on a very impotent, slow West Ham side which is what we are at home.  We have a squad that can still only really play low block and counter if we are honest.
.   The need for speed is more of a hinderence to our progression than ever before.  Just got to hope Potter and Macaulay can address it in the summer with what sounds like it will be a modest budget.

And it proves again how recruitment has really fallen short for most of Sullivan’s tenure which is what 13 years?  Its not that we dont spend, we do but have not spent it wisely, never noticing how the game is more reliant on youth, ahleticism and speed than ever before, switching managers with no football philosophy or identify until now hopefully?

Ferguson is a way off match fitness such was the extent of his ankle injuries and so much time out of the game. They are wrapping him in 2 layers of cotton wool to avoid a reoccurance.  He needs to get thru the rest of this season and have a full preseason avoiding more injuries before we might see the Ferguson that burst on the scene 2 years ago. The worry is he’s one of those injury prone players that spends his career lurching from set back to another.  First step for him is to be able to play 90 mins and he has the next 12 games to do that. If we see little improvement he may not be worth trying to sign. Hopefully will work out but currently not seen too many positive signs

Judging Ferguson on a combined half hour or so in three games, christ

Kudus didn’t do much more in 73 minutes tonight. 

Take an easy win, and on we move. 

Good win. In control and back to back wins for the first time in a long while. But this Leicester is awful isn't it? Not even trying.

Bit concerned about Ferguson. Doesn't look like he has the striker's instinct to me. I know that pass wasn't precise but he should have been able to make something out of that. Not the first time he has done that either. Something of Antonio about him when he is given a clear chance.

Absolute piece of piss that. Stroll in the park. It was weirdly dull but only because we didn’t need to do anything. Would have liked us to step on the gas and really pressure them but there just wasn’t any need. Was good to see a lot of quick and tidy passing in the middle of the park even if it wasn’t urgent. 

Thought JWP had a good game. Very busy in the middle harassing intercepting and moving the ball. 

All the subs made us worse. And we should fuck that Ferguson back now - lightweight cսnt.

Our back five will have sore feet tonight as they all passed the ball about 1,000 times each, and to be fair, almost always to a claret and blue shirt. I presume the Venerable Cresswell gets in because neither of the other two have an attacking bone in their body.

professional display first forty five minutes, second half was like watching paint dry but job done and another win
​​​​​​

Job done.


You can only beat what's there.

Need better out of a few but organisation is good.

 

Strange game 3 easy points not more you can say.

The main thing I take from this game is that Leicester are utterly shit.

there are 3 awful teams in the PL this year, as bad as anything you’ll see.

T C got the score 

can't believe people moaning, hardly any point breaking a sweat if you don't need to

Take the win and move on

All is good. 

Thank God it was Leicester.
2nd half was disastrous 

Back to back wins and two clean sheets. Progress.

Emerson and Ferguson made us weaker.
And about time to sub Soucek. Midfield was struggling 

3 additional minutes of walking football.

Ferguson looks so rusty, a better looking Ian Dowie so far. 

The subs made zero impact.

Now I know why we haven’t been starting Ferguson 

that was like watching Zaza’s one on one against spurs 

Disrespectful cunts

Terrible miss by Ferguson!
