Winston Reid looks to be out for some time if early reports of the injury he suffered against Leicester  City prove accurate. The defender went off early in the first half aided by two of the backroom staff and the signs immediately looked awful and ensured he would be absent from the upcoming international against […]

Shots on/off target Yesterdays 5 goal thriller certainly wasn’t without its fair share of goal mouth action. We had 13 efforts with 7 of them on target whereas Leicester managed just 6 shots with 5 of them directly at goal. It is clear to …
