Russell Martin made changes we believed would happen, having O’Hora and Lundstram in our team in our pre-match report. He also left Wes Burns out and gave that place to Liam Cullen. Cullen responded on his chance, scoring the first goal of the game after just 11 minutes. Played through by Louis Page, Cullen made a nice turn and placed the ball perfectly behind the Stockport goalkeeper down in the right corner.

This lead was soon equaled by Stockport, scoring the 1-1 goal after 22 minutes. The game switched a bit back and forward, Leicester not able to take the full command, something we did not expect either. The Hatters is a physical team, playing on the instincts the players possess, using the basics in football, but also having that edge that often can result in winning football games, especially at home.

Listening to Russell Martin’s press conference yesterday, I see his point about the criticism he’s facing. Most Leicester fans are unsure right now, but would have appreciated it if Russell Martin stayed long term. He seems like a good person with the right attitude and football perspective.

Sometimes in football we can see results of this category, the main issue in those situations is that it turns, and no repeat. With a very unfinished footballing project at Leicester at this moment, just being launched, it could take time. Certain Leicester fans, looking in the back mirror in the last 10 years, having little or no more history, their reaction is obvious and easy to understand.

Most of what we see out on the field, is a mix of different issues. The style of play is often used as a reason for everything. Blaming the style on a Saturday (0-4), not blaming it on a Tuesday (2-0), you are just looking for answers to something Harry Souttar described brilliantly. This has nothing to do with Russell Martin and his style of play. This is down to the players, as Harry Souttar said, as no one, argued about the line-up being picked, based on the game vs. Plymouth. Howell was rested, giving that job to the more experienced Wes Burns. Emil Riis was given his debut, instead of playing a more inexperienced Admir Bristric, so it made sence.
