Millwall defender Alan Dunne scored his first goal in nearly 3 years to condemn Leicester to another league defeat at the King Power Stadium this evening. It was a disastrous start to the match, as captain Wes Morgan was shown a red card in just the 3rd minute of the match, after tangling with Keogh. Morgan was the last man, committed a foul and the sending off was the correct decision. Leicester's performance was spirited for the remainder of the game as they kept 2 men up front, brought Konchesky into centre back and pulled Schlupp in to the full-back position. However, playing with 10 men for the majority of the match took its toll on the City players, and Dunne popped up with 3 minutes remaining to steal the points for the visitors.
If Brighton force a victory at Nottingham Forest tomorrow, Leicester will be outside of the play-off places for the first time since December, having blown the 11 point cushion that they held over 7th place at the end of January. With 7 games remaining, City must win a minimum of 4. After a run of just 1 victory in the last 10 games, it is difficult to see how they are going to achieve that kind of form. Next, Leicester face a difficult trip to relegation threatened Barnsley. The Yorkshire side are just 2 points clear of the drop zone and it will be another tough game for the Foxes. Many teams are scrapping for points - Leicester must do so too. Can they begin to resurrect their season on Easter Monday?!
