Match Day Thread Leicester City v Sunderland AFC – Tuesday 24th October 2023 - KO 20:00

[The Exile II]

We're better at defending penalties than corners at the minute.

 

[Southern A]

Might get pelters for this but I'm happy enough with this start. Awful defending for the goal for sure but we look crisp.

 

[marcusblackcat]

O'Nien just completely leaving his man. Tragic stuff

O’Nien marking his zone. Not his man. It’s how zonal marking works. Jones zone was where the ball dropped and he was rooted

 

[DELETED ACCOUNT 1234]

We are not good enough defensively. O'Nien losing his man completely, Jobe seemingly not aware that anyone was near him and then Huggins moving off the post. Dreadful and we let in soft goals far too often.

 

[butcher58]

Worrying start.

 

[Southern A]

If its zonal marking and O'Nien wasn't mean to go with the man - then it's on Jobe for not picking him up. Frankly the lad just turned 18 so it's not a major surprise.

I'm also keen to know what Huggins was doing on the post.

 

[John Wick]

The Leicester cheerleaders in the commentary box are pissing me off.

 

[Southern A]

Worrying start.

is it? I'm not worried. We look good. ****e at defending a corner but good otherwise. So far.

 

[marcusblackcat]

**** defending again.

Tone better **** off this zonal marking

Agreed. We’re Ridiculously bad at it!

Just how easily they scored from the corner.

 

[Prehab26]

Agreed. We’re Ridiculously bad at it!

And he keeps setting us up like that. Joke.

 

[Chunksafc]

We are well in this, soft goal.comceeded but we are well up for this

 

[clockstander]

almost 2 down Jobe again poor

 

[John Wick]

Leicester reminds me of when the mags got relegated, Premier league team playing in the championship.

Theyve been full of praise for us tbf

 

[Sour Patch]

O’Nien marking his zone. Not his man. It’s how zonal marking works. Jones zone was where the ball dropped and he was rooted

O'Nien was trying to block him off though and got outmuscled. Awful all round.

 

[Southern A]

Jobe nearly cost us another there.

I don't think we will ever not play him but I'd rather have Pritchard in a game like this. crying out for experience, and we have Barstow up top to do what Jobe does.

 

[Chip]

The Leicester cheerleaders in the commentary box are pissing me off.

Best team to ever grace the second tier of English football don’t you know.

 

[Nacho]

Agreed we look back to our usual bright selves. Not as bright as Leicester but I can see us scoring.

 

[Smug in Boots]

Neil then Jobe giving the ball away cheaply ...

... we need to be sharper in midfield.
