Abdul Fatawu was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 35. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom1 Mar 2032

Pressure builds in the Leicester City boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Up for the corner, and Bradley Ibrahim delivers — 7.82

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Bradley Ibrahim scored, was marked 7.82, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Franco Daranno gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Franco Daranno has just signed for Leicester City, and for once the answer mattered.

Market1 Mar 2032

Omar Radwan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Leicester City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tyler Dibling 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.

Benjamin Shaw stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Benjamin Shaw and Leicester City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad1 Mar 2032

A row about effort at Leicester City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Victor Kristiansen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

At last: Leicester City win one

6 matches without a win, and then this, against Coventry City. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Squad24 Mar 2031

Words exchanged at Leicester City

Tyler Dibling and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad24 Mar 2031

Abdul Fatawu 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.

Match22 Mar 2031

Leicester City come up short against West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market24 Mar 2031

Leicester City promote Mark Bailey from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mark Bailey has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Matthew Simmons joins the Leicester City first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matthew Simmons is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Tyler Dibling beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad24 Mar 2031

Rafael Coutinho wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Leicester City can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.
