Well at least we haven't gifted them a 3-0 lead this time.

Bragg and Matsuki looking decent, and good to see Edozie getting involved well and winning the penalty.

I would suggest hooking Archer at HT cos he's been hopeless again, but I doubt Larin can play a full 90 yet so I expect he will be subbed first.

Long looks a lot more assured than peretz, wouldn't mind him getting a run. He just stayed big and protected his near post, things that cost us two goals on tuesday when peretz wasn't doing them.

It's had the feel of a pre-season friendly which is understandable given the number of changes. The lower intensity has allowed Romeu to boss the midfield though. Archer isn't taking his opportunity unfortunately.

Wasn’t a particularly convincing performance but another example of how fragile Leicester are. Mavididi and Ayew looked the most dangerous that half.

When they nearly scored and Manning did an amazing goal line clearance, it all came from Quarshie charging over to RB, Jelert was signalling for him to take the runner but he just kept going and they really should have punished us.

Wasn't sure if Larin put enough pace on it but in the end it was perfect placement. Happy to be leading at HT with a scratch side.

He's never going to is he. 

He's got a tidy finish on him when he can get into shooting positions, but the rest of his game is piss poor.

One up with our only effort on target = clinical. 🙂

Positives:- 

Long made a good stop with his leg.

Manning cleared a certain goal onto the bar and away.

Edozie has looked positive, and did well before also getting us the penalty.

Larin gives us that target, and has been involved.

Matsuki also looking positive, with Jelert, Brag and Romeu getting good moments. Romeu got into things as the half went on.

Quarshie had some good forward passes early on. Although done by Sure once, he did get at least one good tackle in too.

Leicester had a lot of the ball in our third, but we did okay. Especially with 10 changes. Tonda has used a lot of these players, so not too many should be really rusty. 

With the team we put out, can't be anything but pleased with that.

Obvs I'm not watching the game but praise for Edozie from those watching pleases me. He always had talent, I'm not sure what was going on with him under Still but it seems he's back and he'll be like a new signing if he keeps it up. Shame he has Scienza as his rival for the spot although he can play on the right too.

we signed him to be a premier league striker, right?

Romeu looking a bit more up to speed. Has made some good interceptions. Still a bit slow though but given his age there's nothing he can do about that.

Should have kept AA and let him go north, at least AA scores a few.

Archer just runs around and when ever he gets near the ball he's not strong enough to do anything

Man City are even more clinical. They're 1-0 up at home to Salford without having a shot on target in the first half.

Blimey - they fielded a strong side as well

At least we got some money for AA. I cannot imagine anyone stumping up a transfer fee for Archer

Good to see Romeu getting into the game as the half went on. Looked off at first but grew into it.

He's a way off challenging the first XI but could still be useful to have for the run in.

If Pompey dont go down (and pretty sure they wont), Leicester is a great alternative.

If they did I would love to see us snap up Mavididi.

FFS. How does he get beaten at his near post?

He's made up entirely of light so struggles to interact with the physical world.

Good job Long will never get anywhere near the first team... A bit like the other new 7th tier fella never will I guess...
