Superb performance from everyone there. Jander and Fellows slightly off it, but not through lack of trying. Peretz, Downes, Larin and Azaz all at the top of their game there, and the fans were the only ones I could hear on the telly. Gutted I couldn't get a ticket. Got to use that as confidence booster, going to a nearly full-strength PL team, away, and coming away with a win. Excellent stuff!

Going through a big board reshuffle, apparently. Jon Rudkin (one of the guys the fans really don't like) has been promoted...

Larin was great. There was a moment in the 2nd half, I think, where he takes a ball out of the sky with his chest despite being jostled and pushed from behind at the same time. Crazy strength and skill.

Crazy when you see the size of the stadium and facilities VA have, and then when they go away to play it's in a chicken shed! Seems like a team woefully underperforming.

Something really seemed to rattle him, no idea what

Agree with this, holding back doesn't seem to be in Ross' nature. Really hope he can stay fit now, he's an excellent player, but if I was a betting man I'd bet there's more heartbreak on the horizon. I'm sure that won't dampen his efforts though.

It was an unexpected thing, we were staying nearby but I didn't realise we were close until I was looking at the map one night, so we took a trip over to have a look around. Wife went to the Christmas market, boys and I went to the stadium! I did stop by the club shop in town too, but it was closed for lunch!

Totally forgot to say we visited Valenciennes over the Christmas break while we were in France for the week. Couldn't get inside sadly as the place was fully closed down, but struck me it was a really nice complex. Certainly looks to have been invested in, but the same worries I have about SR were as true as they were for us - are they too preoccupied with the 'brand' rather than what happens on the pitch? Nice place, though!

Agreed on the first point, I thought it was out of order.

Just got back. Leicester beaten by our U21s...you love to see it! Pros: Bragg immense, joint MOTM with Quarshie for me. Ori was decent too. Larin worked hard, Wood decent and all the youngesters played their part. Bree excellent when he came on. Into the next round and all important players protected. Cons: Jesus, Archer is poor! Manning got/cold. Jelert not great in the first half but picked up. What a great week!

Can people stop replying to this thread? Every time I see his name on the board, I assume there's a new injury reported 😟

2-0 at half time used to mean game over. These days it's anything but!

I still can't believe it happened. Moments like that are rare in football, especially with this club in the last decade. What an absolutely wonderful feeling! Stewart changed the game. His presence brought Azaz into the game so much more, and when Charles came on to put Jander out of his misery it was too much for them. Great 2nd half from everybody, amazing finish from Shea. One of my lads was sat next to me calm as anything throughout the game. Kept saying it's fine, it's the 10th of Feb - apparently that's the date we did the comeback against 5-3 Huddersfield a couple of years back. The fact it's Leicester just makes it even sweeter.

I can't...I just cant!

"Amusing" is underselling it a bit there. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Russ ends up there and takes them down with his snoozefest football?

Not even close to being AI.

Classy, you've got to give him that.

Blah blah goals blah blah running blah blah captain... The REAL question should be that Arma has gone - which player now has the shittest haircut?

Adam Armstrong as a postman is absolutely nail-on 😆

They're pushing it with 'Blue Army'. Three syllables in that one!

I must be seeing a different game to most, Matsuki's been poor. They're keeping the ball away from Leo's side because they know he's a threat, Matsuki offering very little apart from two clever back heels. Bree looking solid, Wellington working hard. You can see which players are up for it. Game is crying out for Fellows, Charles and Stewart.

What I'm telling myself: Fellows has stood up and said "Guys, last time I played against these lot they kicked the shit out of me and wore themselves out trying to stop me from going on a run. Let me come on later in the game when they're all wheezing and I'll have the freedom of the right wing. Oh, and bring Ross on with me. I'll find him in the box, don't worry." Then I woke up.

Fucking hell, can't you two get a room or something?
