Abdul Fatawu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market21 Sep 2026

Leicester City may not be able to give Jakub Stolarczyk what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Jakub Stolarczyk wants continental football; whether Leicester City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Jamaal Lascelles in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leicester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A late step up for Jakub Stolarczyk

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Josh King is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match19 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Leicester City

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Oliver Skipp falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match19 Sep 2026

No goals between Leicester City and Derby County

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Derby County will be the happier side with the point.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Luke Thomas shuts the door

Defensive actions: 8, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 Aug 2026

James Dadge puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Northampton Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Cundo

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Elliott List in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Northampton Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Aug 2026

Theo Avery moves on

Salford City pay $470.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Billy Blacker would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Billy Blacker is living that version at Northampton Town, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Taylor Richards falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Billy Blacker stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Billy Blacker and Northampton Town agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market24 Aug 2026

A long bet from Northampton Town on Billy Blacker

He is 20, and nobody at Northampton Town signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market24 Aug 2026

Northampton Town buy the years ahead of Marley Wilson

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Nobody could get near Divine Mukasa

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

Leicester City say no — this time

The offer from Crystal Palace for Jannik Vestergaard was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Cundo at 17 — 7.89

The hardest thing about being 17 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Cundo did not need any: 7.89, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Leicester City

Jamaal Lascelles was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market17 Aug 2026

Northampton Town join the queue for Cundo

Add another name to the list: Northampton Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Cundo. The answer from Leicester City has not changed — yet.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Leicester City

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Stephy Mavididi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Leicester City supporters have found a favourite in Abdul Fatawu

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Abdul Fatawu has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market17 Aug 2026

Michael Simmons steps up from the Leicester City academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Michael Simmons has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
