I think it was Jabo that crossed the ball for Nicholls to score the first goal.

Indeed it was! After brilliantly controlling the pass forward, turning and surging past his marker. Top class stuff.

Yes, it was and the description jogged my memory.
Ricketts couldn't run past a defender unless he was already dead :mrgreen:

'Twas all as predicted:
"It’s a team full of talent, especially going forward and, if we play like we did on Saturday, we’ll get stuffed. Perversely, of course, it’s exactly the kind of game we’re likely to get something from"

You're right again, Neil.
Mind you, if I predicted the possibility of a defeat, draw or victory each game, I'd be in with a shout of being correct too. :mrgreen:

Curses, foiled again! Mind you, I'll say now that I think we are also quite capable of winning on Saturday as well - I'll state the reasons in the preview (have to save something!)

Capable IF we get the tactics right. If we go assuming that what worked at Leicester WILL work at Leeds, then we could be in trouble. We need appropriate tactics. I see Beckford09 says the Leeds defence is "suspect" - it may be that we need to take a slightly more attacking stance on Saturday then?

For once we were clinical infront of goal. 2 shots, 2 goals. Great tactics from Jimmy which were almost executed to perfection. If Ince didn't have an off day then we would have won. I was delighted with the point, it was something like only the second match at the Walkers that Leicester has dropped points. Jabo was superb, as were most the team. I thought Roberts also played realy well and he saved us with that superb clearence off the line. Finally, what an atmosphere from our fans, top notch
