Firstly, Congratulations on your victory and your double.

I've got a few points about the game in general. Your fans were pretty good with the small amount that you brought. Applauded when the Birch announced when we were in the Premier league etc...

I don't think we can complain that we were hungover or whatever. Our changes didn't benefit us really with Matty James, Ritchie De Laet, Jamie Vardy, Jeff Schlupp out who are all better than the people that played in their place tonight. We made too many uncharacteristic mistakes in our defence with lackadaisical marking and backing off. Our attacking flow didn't have any end product which was uncharacteristic as we usually create bags of chances in a game.

Generally, Brighton were pretty faultless. Our only clear cut chances were some Wes Morgan headers which he maybe should have scored from and the Andy King freekick. Ulloa was VERY good and composed in front of goals and hassled our defence all night. Your young defender looked solid and I think you've found a future gem such as who we have in Liam Moore (Even if he didn't have the best game tonight).

It could have been more for you, But we were the architects of our own downfall with poor mistakes but I won't take anything away from you; Solid and general organised all over the pitch.

Have a good rest of the season, Hope you get into the play-offs!

Our defence has an average age of 32. The youngest - Stephen Ward, the left-back - is 28.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Thought you fans were OK too. Made a lot of noise, even knew the words to the songs, not bad considering a third of the crowd were on their first visit to the Kingpower this season, JCL's.

Thanks Leicester. You might have been speaking about Solly March, a young winger. I have two questions:
1. how good do you think Schlupp is? is he better as a full-back, or further up the field?
2. our manager stated that Drinkwater is the best midfielder in the Championship: to what extent do you agree?

Yep sorry, He's not a Defender.

Schlupp is Very good, Young, VERY FAST and we're unbeaten when he's played at LB. He's ALOT better at LB
Drinkwater when he's with Matty James and on his day and when the teams playing well is the engine behind our team. Could prevail easily in the Premier League

Cheers.

I was hoping to see our goals on SSN but they have only just shown Derby and Millwall's victories.

Long story but I was at the game with a LCFC ST holder. Obviously as a Palace fan I was looking forward to watching you lot get an absolute drubbing at the hands of the probable Championship Champions.

Whilst Leicester weren't really at the races compared to their season long form, you lot looked good and, IMHO, thoroughly deserved your victory. Atmosphere was good as well. Keep that up and you will make the play offs.

I feel unclean.
