    Everytime their striker Popov gets a mentions, I keep humming the Rentaghost theme tune. Is his first name Nadia?

    Oliver and Harratt could be a dynamite partnership. Cook has done brilliantly and is a real fox in the box, but we might find that the overall balance and mobility of the side is better with Oliver and Harratt.

    It would be a brave manager to drop a player who has scored 12 goals already this season, and it just isnt going to happen anytime soon, despite what Fordy keeps telling us.

    That's probably true. But it's a long season and it's good to see we have real options.

    Harratt needs to calm down , he’s trying too hard and as a result…It’s aimless?

    Sutton is a liability in the DM role. Tries to clever when he needs to keep it simple and far to eager to pass backwards when he receives it with a bit of space.

    Sammy Braybrooke for them seems a very good player. Certainly one to keep an eye on for the future.

    Nice to see Odusina and Crichlow pushing up and taking the ball forwards.

    Lots of good performances, but Hendrie has been poor.

    Crichlow is so frustrating. If I had a pound for every time he passed backwards I'd be a rich man. Under no pressure whatsoever he looks to pass to Lewis. If we get at them at pace they're all over the place. Slow it down and Leicester look comfortable.

    Very lazy style. Often passes without looking too. I can actually see Leicester nicking a goal early in the second half, because we seem to be a bit complacent.

    East has had a fantastic half , best player on the field by a country mile

    His partner Sutton … anyone ?

    Odusina doing well and showing welcome pace moving forward. Agree that East is looking composed. Leicester have some good ball players in their young team.

    How good is Lewis on the ball? In fact, he's better than many of our outfield players.

    He's been superb. Amazing we've got this sort of depth this season, this is a player that doesn't even get on the bench most weeks.

    Young as well. Pretty ineffective. Their right back has had his measure. Needs to try something different
