Leicester were in charge for the majority of this game. We looked solid at the back and worked hard for our point here. A point we can be pleased with, but a chance for a win.

“It’s very early to look at the table after only 4 games. But with one win from our first 4 games, 3 points, it’s more than many people expected us to get this far in”

✍️ @delargebc.bsky.social | #LCFC

It’s another loss. Not quite as noble a loss as last week’s, but this isn’t crushing. Yet.

A Bobby De Cordova Reid scissor kick in injury time – no, us neither – salvaged a third successive draw for the Foxes. Is this good?

“The dropping of Okoli at Championship level is the latest indictment of the 5 permanent signings Leicester have made at centre-back in the past 5 years.”

The dream duo are back, after Wout Faes was restored to the starting lineup for Leicester’s 0-0 draw against Coventry on Saturday.

Leicester City Women put in a hugely creditable performance in a narrow defeat at Kingsmeadow against the reigning WSL champions Chelsea. There was even a late chance to snatch an unlikely point, b…

“A hard-earned point secured by encouraging fight and desire? Or a disappointing result against a side that had only accumulated one point prior to today’s fixture?”

How to summarise a game in which pre-match expectations altered halfway through the first half? Jamie Barnard sat down after returning from the Kassam and took on the task.

Leicester City are in a false position going by the numbers so far. It’s time to turn that to true with the performances this squad are capable of at Championship level.
