transfer reader Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Leicester controlled the game but didn't carve out any huge chances barring the penalty. Fair result them winning, but a game that showed we have the ability to defend when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment
One Team Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not unhappy at all there. Battling defensive performance, could’ve nicked a draw and it took a pen to decide it. Also, it’s only 1 - 0 so not morale draining. 1 Quote Link to comment

bexhill reds Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just now, mozo said: I'll be accused of scapegoating now, but why is Cornick jogging about instead of sprinting to close players down? Pretty much decided he would end up just chasing a shadow, better to move into a position to pick up the ball if the player is tackled further down the field. But hey it’s Cornick so must be at fault. Wells and Bell had been doing that pretty much all game. 6 Quote Link to comment
sh1t_ref_again Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Deserved win by very good team, but disappointed with our performance when we were on the ball just shows how far we are off the level needed 3 Quote Link to comment

AberRed Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 That was probably the toughest fixture of the season. Nothing to be ashamed of there. 4 Quote Link to comment
Malago Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Can’t fault the effort. Lack of quality at critical moments. Lots to be optimistic about. 4 Quote Link to comment

marcofisher Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Well I thought Leicester’s 3 were one of the best Champ midfields I’ve seen and we defended pretty admirably 1 Quote Link to comment
Supersonic Robin Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Well, today we were battered by a much better team who have much better players and much more money. At least we put in an honest, hard-working performance and kept things respectable. Being critical, it would have been nice for us to offer more of a threat and exert a bit more control over the match. This isn't the kind of game that will define our season though. 3 Quote Link to comment
MelksRed Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Positives 1. It took a pen to concede. 2. Held probably the best team in the league to a 1-0 win (could have been disastrous for our GD otherwise) 3. Hard graft sees us leaving with no points but evidences our ability to compete....albeit needing to create (and take) chances. 4. I would have taken that score line in lieu of 3 or 1 point(s) 5. Good work rate. Well done lads. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not a bad game considering. If they dont go up topmof the league clear by 20+ points then they wudve have a bad season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
mozo Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I can't lie, I'm disappointed that defensively we worked so hard then looked soo clueless when we developed good opportunities. Despite the Plymouth game, our attack is still a bit toothless. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Better teams than us will go there and lose by more so not too disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Leicester were cruising for the majority of that game. A huge gulf in class. Mind you, they were sloppy at times at the back and we failed to take advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment
robinforlife2 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Silly question maybe, but wasn't Mehmeti on the field at the end, surely you would have fancied him most with a direct free kick? Leicester were very good, scoreline flattered us a little, but we weren't hammered, which is what most teams will face at Leicester this season. Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Let’s trounce them at The Gate Well played City. Not a fair contest with parachute payments. Oh for the old days when a division 2 was a level playing field 5 Quote Link to comment

Why would you be accused of scapegoating? Always makes me chuckle when we expect our players to charge the opposition down and leave massive gaps behind. 2 Quote Link to comment

I suspect it's less than 1. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Shame about that penalty, because defensively we were playing really well; during the last minutes we tried but could not produce much. Anyway, satisfied with what I saw from City. Quote Link to comment
Gazred Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Great effort, just missing that little bit of composure when we did have the ball in good areas. You can't deny Leicester do look a good side as you would expect but i think the players can take a lot of positives from that. It won't be that difficult every week. Well done to the travelling support, we could hear you all game, safe journey back. Edited September 23, 2023 by Gazred 6 Quote Link to comment
bexhill reds Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 There are positives to be had, Leicester are a very good team, I think anyone finishing above them will be promoted. Good defensive display given the amount of ball they had, but the defensive display meant that we could not be as attacking as we could have been. Thought we were a bit slow passing in midfield at times, we’re better when moving the ball at pace. Quote Link to comment
David Brent Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Can’t say we weren’t brave enough in attack. Leicester just too good all over the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment
westonred Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) We weren't disgraced against a quality team a few seasons ago we would have folded and lost by 3 or 4 Edited September 23, 2023 by westonred 4 Quote Link to comment
ashton_fan Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 We defended pretty well but were a bit wasteful in possession and didn't make the most of some promising situations, could have had a draw with a bit more quality. We seemed scared of losing the ball and were making rash passes, not at our best I would say. 1 Quote Link to comment
