Assuming we're not counting the "Fulham on Saturday" thread as a genuine match thread, thought I would start the real thing, subject to Clive bombing it of course!
Thought we were good value at 5/2, we touched 3/1 earlier in the day, that was snapped up, but you can still get 14/5.
2-0 us I'm going for! [Post edited 20 Jan 2017 16:17]

Naming my son after him 7 yr ago was the perfect premonition! |
And he's unlikely to meet anyone else called Smithies, no chance of confusion. | |

Fortunate to be 1-0 up, but we're working hard so fortune has favoured us. No better example than the goal.
We look nervous in our clearances but we also look extremely well-organised at the back. Fulham seem to have done their homework on hall and look to be placing a man on him every time they get close past half-way to force him to man-mark and preventing him from being free to anticipate and intercept.
Manning and Luongo are being overrun and I would like to see Luongo pushing up on Cairney to stop him dictating. He's the man they look for.
Mackie and Sylla are playing very poorly.
Smithies is the man. |  |

On the subject of Ryan Manning (whilst keeping a weather eye out for urine-soaked deep-fried potato products)...

Here's the thing: if Ollie can keep us playing like this, we're a hard team to beat. That'd be survival sorted I'd say.
It's been a long time since we've had an identifiable style of play - other than panicked and demoralised - but one is definitely emerging with this team. Long may it continue. |  |

Feel a bit sorry for Mackie. Eveytime he goes near a defender they fall ofer and get a free kick. | | | |

Has any goalkeeper ever saved three penalties from the same team in one season? (shoot-outs excluded, obviously). |  |

22% possession.
I wonder if Leicester ever had a higher possession figure than an opponent last season. Taking it as low as 22% might be a bit extreme, mind you. I presume the lower your possession figure the better you have to be at the game you're playing. | |

Totally forgot it was an early KO.
What a goal from the boy Manning. [Post edited 21 Jan 2017 13:43]

Sadly Smithies' reputation is rising so high and is now so bright that everyone can see it. |  |

Fair point. I do think he's been slightly unlucky. | |

I recon we have lost him after that penalty save..
I was watching him in the tunnel before KO , remembering Green's gormless f'cking grin thinking

felt at times in the first half like watching that old revie Leeds clip of them playing southampton in the 70's.
true grit toughing it out for one nil at half time. |  |

Sky reckon since Smithies signed for us, no other goalie in the league has saved as many pens as him, six. | |

Hopefully they'll be cutting loose now and ramping their possession up to 26 or 27%. | |

Every time we win it up front that tw@t gives them a free kick. No wonder we can't keep the ball. | | | |

Not a bad thing stock goes up we sell high price with sell on and England add on we could make a fair few quid.
Plus we have Ingram who's no mug. I was saying to my dad at the biggining of the season we have the best 2 young keepers in England. | | | |

Good booking for Manning on Cairney. Someone had to. | |

Manning's set pieces have been below par.
Maybe another chance now... | |
