leicester v luton 1-1
this was dire, of interest only for the ammount of our lot involved, with Maybury and Yeates starting for the home side with Logan on the bench and McCarthy missing out due to an injury sustained in training in the week, it would have been interesting to see if McCarthy would have been selected, or if he comes straight back in as he has been taking some criticism on the clubs message boards of late for his performances, but most of these have been in away fixtures so ive not seen the games.
Maybury was ok, he played at right back and talked to Yeates throughout, who played in front of him, which was good to see, and he shot narrowly over from distance in the first half, however deep in injury time with his side pushing he was the last man, isolated one on one with their striker when a long luton punt gave them both something to chase, he had time, he had space, he had given himself a few yards, he got there comfortably first, he could have put it out, given it to the keeper or even taken a touch and got turned, but instead he slashed at it with his weaker left foot and hit the onrushing luton player , the only opposition player within an asses roar of him and he crashed it straight against him, very very poor and very very lucky it happened to rebound out of play and didnt give the striker a clear run at goal and may have put leicester in the real deep brown stuff at the foot of the table.
Yeates i liked the look of, his goal on 6 minutes visibly boosted him when he, had he so wished, would have had time for a nice cup of tea, before putting into an empty net. just what he would have wanted on a home debut. he was taking the leicester set free kicks and corners, doing so pretty well with his right , but from open play would switch onto his left on occasion when crossing, nice balance and nice to see a player looking to cross off his weaker side. he was withdrawn with 10 to go but wasnt fading and in my opinion looking most likely to create something. i thought he was unfortunate to get the tug but got a good reception from the home crowd. i would however like to see him getting on the ball more as time goes on and be involved in the play more often than he was on sat.
for luton, Bell, Foley, Keane and Emmanuel started and proir to coming off with injury very early on, Emannuel had taken 2 super corners and had been playing on the left of midfield.
Foley was decent, didnt get forward hardly at all but neither do i recall leicester crossing from his flank, he put in a few heavy challenges also.
Bell played on the right of midfield and never looked like getting past his man but did deliver the deadball for his sides equaliser and provided good quality from the set plays after Emannuels injury.he didnt give it away either in open play.Keane had a steady 90 but to be honest didnt catch my eye one way or the other.
