Can see Leaburn getting replaced second half, he ain't been in this game first half
Again, his pressing has been brilliant. He’s creating chances from it and forcing GK passing errors
He's also forced a couple of corners with shots that have been blocked.
I don't think he's been too bad today, certainly not worthy of being hooked at HT unless the manager has seen something he wants to exploit with a tactical sub.
HT 0-0, very much on top from first to last minute of the half, can see Tanto, Kelman, & Knibbs rubbing there hands looking forward to getting stuck into this mob second half & kicking towards The Covered End...
Many things to like about the first half. Imposing ourselves onto a newly relegated side, Coventry, (so far) playing almost as well as Ramsay did last week, all our attacking players look capable of hurting them when we get into good areas. Only thing missing is that we haven’t quite managed to create those few clear sights on goal we’d be looking for. TC in particular guilty of choosing the wrong option a few times, but we know that’s an area he’s still working on. Rather like our first two matches, we’ve given ourselves a platform and the game’s there to be won if we can just fashion the chances.
We’ve bumped the possession up to 40%. We averaged 42% over the first two games and Leicester averaged in the 70s, we’re imposing ourselves on them well
Good half. A team of violent pressers up against a team who want to be a tippy tappy play out of defence bunch. Surely they’ll start playing longer to beat the press in the second half so it’s a shame we didn’t get a goal while they were struggling. We look like a proper side though, just need the goals
Felt at times as though we were playing a mid-table side from League One, the way they were having to get bodies back, and with so little action in our half.
Leicester have clearly forgotten how to win at the moment, and havent been able to replace Vardy.
Good first half performance, just missing a bit more composure with the final ball. Haven't really noticed Leaburn, can see changes up front second half.

But his decision making when he's got the ball has let him down.

Just need to keep that same intensity next half.
