Well we'll leave out the first half because we were simply awful but second half wowza, we actually played some football 
That second half was the best offering from Leicester all season, and I think the time of the goals had a massive input in to that as well as a certain Gareth Williams. The birthday boy was simply immense yesterday, ran the show second half and also linked up with Hughesy and he had his best game for a long long time.
Also a big credit to the fans, over 30,000 giving us the 3rd highest attendance in the country yesterday, beaten only by Arsenal and Newcastle. Atmosphere was the usual boring in the first half but second half it really got going, complete with mexican wave! A bit risky with 10 minutes to go (this is Leicester we were watching!!!) but it made for a great day out and hopefully encouraged people to go again.
Player ratings:
Henderson - 8 Some good saves and only one dodgy kick.
Stearman - 5 Not his day, looked a yard off the pace for some reason.
Kisnorbo - 8 Usual steady stuff, brilliant.
McAuley - 9* Immense, deserves to keep his starting place on the back of his last 2 performances.
Johansson - 7 Indifferent but still provides great entertainment with the mazy runs!
Hughesy - 8 Much improved, some great efforts on goal and looked to be enjoying his football again
Williams - 9 Just shaded on MOTM by McAuley but was awesome, we need to keep him fit, he is vital in us playing good football
Tiatto - 5 Headless chicken
Porter - 8 Another great display from the little man and a nicely taken goal
Hume - 6 Unusually quiet, probably because he was sick during the warm up, but great ball to Tiatto to set up the first goal.
Hammond - 7 Worked tirelessly and another goal so hopefully a confidence booster will see a few more goals in the coming weeks!
On a bad note, the Milan Mandaric bid is apparently now in serious doubt and he didn't go to the game yesterday
But to be honest, I'm fed up of the whole situation and I'd rather just wait to hear if it's a yes or no, the speculation is driving me mad!!!
Oh and Barnsley are crap and so are the fans.

Did Barnsley reach the 300 mark?
