Leicester prevented a third successive defeat at Bolton Wanderers this evening, securing a 0-0 draw. It was a game that the Foxes dominated, particularly in the first half, and they had several good opportunities to score. Nugent, Drinkwater, Dyer and Knockaert all had shots at goal during the first half. De Laet also went close with a header that struck the bar. Bolton came into the game more in the second half and will feel that they had several promising opportunities to win the game. It's a decent result for Leicester, against a strong team, who beat leaders Cardiff at home on Saturday.
Attention will now turn to Saturday lunch time's East Midlands derby with Nottingham Forest. The defensive situation is reaching a critical stage. St. Ledger is still injured, Konchesky left the field injured during the first half and loanee Keane was replaced by Moore during the second half. City finished the game with striker Jeff Schlupp at left back. On the plus side, Whitbread will return from a one match suspension and re-gain his place in the side. However, at the start of November, it is worrying that City appear to be down to the bare bones already. What price another Manchester United loanee arriving before the weekend?!
