Cold, disappointed but relieved

Foxes 2 Walsall 2, Tuesday 21 October 2008

Quick to the ball, good movement, and some tenacious tackling. That was Walsall for half the game. City just didn’t seem to have any answers. But then the rest of the time it was Leicester on top. So a game of mixed fortunes and an outcome that matched the state of play. Even so, it was Walsall who took the lead twice, and they showed just how frail we can be. City had better be more focused when they play Northampton.

For most of this match, Fryatt was well marked, and Howard effectively closed down. It worked well (both our goals came from corners). If other sides employ the same tactics as Walsall we might struggle to score. Let’s hope the manager has some answers.

We left the stadium, cold, disappointed at not winning, but perhaps also relieved we didn’t lose.
