there will be plenty of streams for this game, so I wouldn't worry too much..
Was at this game with the Forest fans - Wood had a pretty tough day out against the Forest CB Elliot Ward who is a very big unit! Didn't get a great deal in good positions and missed a couple of half chances. Leicester were much better - their only weakness was against set plays where Schmeical was dominated way too easily. I think they'll go well in the playoffs
Normo's coming home
COYN Play-off game v Watford underway - live stream list here. I'm watching the first one and is okay:
Big Pete 65, Christchurch
Injury time - still 1-0 to Leicester...
Deserve their lead. Both sets of forwards cancelled out by respective defences but two conrasting styles -Watford playing it on the ground and Leicester more long balls up to Wood and Nugent for first hour especially which was ineffective.

LEICESTER WIN IT 1-0 !!!
Not a bad game - quite even, and end-to-end stuff
Good chance for Leicester to take it in the second away leg - Watford attack had no teeth and rarely looked like scoring.
Nugent man of the match just announced.
Schmeichel brilliant in goal.
Leicester defence pretty tight.

1 - 0 to Leicester. 4th win in their last 17 (wtf?...but that's football, in this year's Championship anyway). Game played in wild Welly weather - gale plus rain. Leicester's first full house of the season. Nugent's headed goal the gamebreaker. Wood v disappointing: I counted about 8 touches, no chance, plenty of scowls. Neither team on this showing stand a chance in the EPL.

Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."
Didnt think Wood was too bad actually. Didnt get involved as much as he could, but also held ball well and is able to slip passes through to other players. Cant remember any real mistakes

Yeah, but this was Leicester's biggest game of the season - so far. Limited involvement plus no real mistakes when promotion to the EPL is on the line ain't quite cutting the mustard. So he gets hauled off at 60 mins. The real world.

apparently he was a bit under the weather as well.
Sure he wasnt amazing - but wasnt nerarly as much of a fail as Schlupp
Schlup would have graced Capital 5. But not much higher.

A win & a clean sheet, really good result for them. Hopefully Wood is feeling better for the return leg on the weekend.
Wood also had to contest with some pretty average balls played past him short of him or wide of him. When he did get it he did ok
Return match will be a mission...
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen
Watched Schlup live a couple of times. Runs around like a headless chook, and first touch was horrendous. Can't comment on last night though.
6 mins gone and it's all Leicester! Watford go down the other end and slide one wide! Frantic pace to start with!!
Vydra with a spectacular goal! 1 all!! Dipping volley past Schmeichel.
Wood getting the 'wanker, wanker...' chants for playing on after the whistle, for being offside, and hitting the crossbar :D lol
They just seem to be lumping it up to Wood, hoping he can hold onto it. They seemed to have changed their tactics from when they first signed him when they looked to get him the ball on the ground more.
1-1 at HT.
