Wow what an awesome day! I have just seen Leicester comfortably get an away win at Portman road of all places (given our abysmal record there). I still can''t believe it we have been so poor of late and the last 2 games I saw (Saints away and Sunderland home) were two of the most inept performances I've seen in a long while. It was like a completely different team. And McAuley what a God. Him and Kisnorbo have to be first names on the team sheet every week. Far far better than Paddy Mac. I'm just so happy depsite spendng an hour sat in the car getting just from the car park next to the station to the A14. Anyway player ratings: Hendo - 8 . good saves. didn't have a great deal to do, what he did he did well. Maybury - 6 did well defensively. couple of moments where you think he could have done something else but no complaints. Kisnorbo - 8 i remember at least one stupid mistake but rock solid. McAuley - 10. Again rock solid and awesome at the set pieces! MOTM Johansson -8. One of the best games I've seen him have. Coped well defensively and came forward to support the attack too. Well done Nissa! Yeates - 7 Looks neat and tidy. Some good runs, is pretty quick. Perhaps didn't impose himself on the game as much as he could have. Johnson - 7. Didn't do an awful lot wrong to be fair to him I felt. Jarrett - 8. Just what we needed, some midfield presence! Porter -7.5 Still not showing he same potential he did when he first broke through to the first team but much better today. Great corners too!! Horsfield - 8 Did well, a real handful for the town back line. Defends from the front too which is good. Deserved a goal I feel. Hume - 7.5 Worked his socks off, deserved a goal, things just aren't going his way at the mo. Subs: Hammond - 6 Did alright, usual Elvis really. Glombard - 6. Again looked ok but not a real presence in the game but we were cruising by that time. Kenton - not enough time. Well done lads!  What an awesome day though, the atmosphere in the away end was superb!! A really good laugh and nice to see the players really appreciated it at the end. I thought the songs about hookers in the Station hotel were in very bad taste but other than that the fans were excellent.... WE'RE ON THE LEFT SIDE, WE'RE ON THE LEFT SIDE, WE'RE ON THE LEFT SIDE OVEEERRRR HERE!! ;D wooo!!! |

Glad the trip was worth it Don't think i've ever seen you actually positive about Leicester!! Thanks!!! Oh it so was, an amazing day!! You're right I'm not normally. I fully expected us to go there for the draw and failt o get it basically but they completely surprised me and were fully deserving of the win. I'm just generally a pessimist and hadn't seen them win, or indeed get anything away since Derby in August 2004 so it really was special!! I just can't believe it so I shall enjoy it! Nice win for you guys too. Thought you'd get the 3 points. Whats all the stuff going on about announcements and stuff though?  |

Haha, we're shit Hey Han, sorry I guess.  Probably more of a surprise to me than you I guess. I was chatting to some guy after the game who seemed to think you were doomed. I don't think its that bad...just not one of those days. We were at the top of our game and you weren't I guess. Take it you did not enjoy your day? |

Open topped bus parade on the way Geo? haha ;D. Well given the state we're in I think that breaking our hoodoo at Ipswich and getting the double over them in the process may well be worth getting the open top bus out again yes!! Decent win for you guys too! Which makes it seem a bit odd that our fans started singing 'never felt more like singing the blues when leicester win and forest lose...' |

I don't think its that bad...just not one of those days. We were at the top of our game and you weren't I guess. Take it you did not enjoy your day? Don't be sorry. We were appalling, we're wasting too many chances and really, really need to sort out our discaplinary record. I have nothing to say about Garvan's dismal, apart from it was terrible. I hope he gets fined. A lot. We need to sort out our defending of set pieces, and seriously need a striker that won't hold onto the ball, has power and pace and will just shoot! To be honest, it just looked a mid table clash. Both of us gave the ball away too much, but you capitalised the most out of it. I, at the moment, think we're doomed too. Because we're not scoring and are forever slipping closer to the relegation zone by dropping points I've not had a good day really. All the teams I've wanted to win have lost. Ah well, the Leicester fans were good. Did you see me? I was opposite and wearing a bandage on my right arm ;D  Once again, us Tractor boys and girls are quiet because well, there's nothing really to cheer. And once again (I'm sure you'll disagree ) the ref was a bit poor... |

Hello, Leicester fans. This is obviously a mixed day for me. Well, not really. I'm not being funny but first and foremost, I'm a Town fan, so the overriding feeling today is I'm 100% extremely fucked off.  I'm glad Leicester have FINALLY got a win in 2007 - that cloud's been hanging over the club's head for too long now. And to have won at Portman Road for the first time in 19 years to do it while completing the double over Ipswich at the same time is a good achievement. ON THE OTHER HAND... Town's performance today beared a striking resemblence to a lump of warm moist faecal matter slowly slopping its way out of a dog's behind. We were absolutely bollocks today, and Garvan's sending off just summed up the afternoon really. I'd felt all along that Leicester were far more likely to score (and therefore far more likely to win) because just recently Ipswich have forgotten how to score, and unlike Rob Kelly, Magilton sat on his hands on transfer deadline day thinking "oh no, we'll be fine, we don't need any loan players. I've solved our search for a proven Championship goalscorer by signing Jon Walters - a League Two striker who couldn't even score against us when he was playing for Chester in the FA Cup." Of fucking course.  Well done Leicester, you fully deserved it. Town were shit. |

Can you hear the left side sing? No, no! It was all about the right side Ash Right, I'll post a proper reply tomorrow. Up the Foxes! McAuley you beauty  |

Garvan's first booking was maybe a tad harsh but that doesn't excuse his lunge on Levi because that was defintely a booking and therefore the ref had no choice. If you'd taken that chance before we scored maybe it would have been a different story but yeah you've gotta sort out the set piece defending!! You'll be fine. You have the points cushion for a start and there are 3 worse teams, we might even be one of them. Except Leicester eh!? It was a good laugh in there really, much better than recent experiences, but thats winning for you. Well I'm not sure, I was one row in front of the back and right next to a pillar so you couldn't see much of the rest of the stadium but I think I could work out who was you but couldn't really tell tbh! I was in a blue shirt, blue scarf and long black coat if that helps! :PI didn't hear anything from you til 70 odd mins but our ground is much the same in that regard its always different away from home. No I was agree, our lot started singing we've only got 12 men at one point...and I was thinking shhhhhh he may stop being so leniant! |

Great atmosphere in there though all round! ;D *I'll not give McAuley a kiss!*  Have fun... |

Of fucking course. Well done Leicester, you fully deserved it. Town were shit. Hey NCA, Obviously I understand you there!! I have a soft spot for Ipswich because they are better than Cambridge United or City so make a better uni team!! But not on days v Leicester of course. Did you make it to the match today? You weren't great today but I'm sure you must have played much better than that even if not recently. Perhaps you just need some scrappy 1-0 win to get back on track. Long way to the relegation zone for you still. Though yus, maybe you should have done more in the window! |

No I was agree, our lot started singing we've only got 12 men at one point...and I was thinking shhhhhh he may stop being so leniant! If he hadn't been booked before, he deserved a straight red for that. It was terrible from the angle I was looking. The only promising performance was from Peters, and that was it. The highest he should get in the EADT on Monday is a 6 though. If Currie is made MOTM here [he's a favourite with our idiot of a journalist] then I shall scream so loud you'll be able to hear me. It's a problem that's always been there our set piece defending. Our two tallest defenders are injured (not that that's an excuse :  and the rest of our team can either A) Not jump or B) Are midgets. I hope so, although there are teams below us that can go on a run, and they've yet to play us yet... I've never seen us win away. West Ham, Crewe, Luton, Leicester, Wolves. Never! So I want to know what that experience is like and I'm not going to get that at Watford next week! 6-0 it is Haha, I guessed as such The first white exit thing on the Brittania Stand nearest the tunnel, and I was to the right of that. I was on the end because my brother hadn't come We rarely sing, except at Derby matches really. But even then we're quiet Loudest cheer of the afternoon; the ref giving us a free kick Well! At least I earn Championship Prediction points on here! |

I'd go for Heath, trying to get back at Wise for what he did to Callum Davidson.  |

Probably more of a surprise to me than you I guess. I was chatting to some guy after the game who seemed to think you were doomed. I don't think its that bad...just not one of those days. We were at the top of our game and you weren't I guess. 
Have fun...
and the rest of our team can either
