    Nigel Pearson on Zak Vyner
    He picked up an injury during the first half of the Plymouth game but played on and didn't think it was of any significance.
    But we've had it scanned and there's a bit of damage to his knee so we just need to assess how we go forward and hopefully he won't be out for too long.

    Yet many have gone on to other Championship clubs, or better.

    We are being out muscled in midfield, which is worrying

    Is anyone else having problems with Robins TV? I logged in and immediately lost the feed and then the login page disappeared and I can't get back in to see the match. Absolutely useless site.

    City working hard but Leicester in complete control.. But we’re hanging in there.

    This is about hanging in there and not making silly mistakes, to keep us in the game for as long as possible. I feel if we go 1 down it could be a very long afternoon. Leicester always seem to have an extra man all over the pitch, the sign of a team in control.

    I missed the first 25 minutes thanks to Robins TV but from what I see we are prepared, or are being forced, to defend and we don't do that well. Out muscled is the key and we need to get back more control or the inevitable may happen.

    Faes looks a decent defender for Leicester, very comfortable on the ball

    He didn’t last season in the PL. Dewsbury-Hall is the one pulling the strings in midfield for them

    We haven’t really tested their defence apart from the last 5 mins and they looked a bit suspect. We’ve defended well so far, but whether we can keep it up for another 45 mins I’m doubtful. Their keeper comes a long way out, may be worth lobbing him.

    0-0 HT.. I think that although Leicester have had more of the ball and do look dangerous, we’ve done ok.. George been done a couple of times as have Pring, but we’ve had the cover and commitment to block most of what they’ve thrown at us.. Some of our passing through the centre on occasions have gone astray letting them in. But again we’ve done well to cover at the back..
    Last 5 mins we had our moments going forward.
    So far so good imo. Be nice for us to have a few chances to test their keeper. Not really tested their defence as yet.

    Blimey, just seen the Plymouth Norwich score. Championship unpredictable as usual

    We’re getting mullered here at the start of the 2nd half - a great save from Max
