Full match report to come tomorrow but thoughts from the 1-1 in short: Kids good, senior players largely liabilities, absolutely cannot be playing DCDR up top. Lovely goal from JJ 3.0. Defensively terrifying, comedy style efforts for their goal. This meme is going to get used a lot isn't it?

NEW: Celebration snub shows Leicester City fans aren’t content to live in the past “Most damningly, the deluge of digital marketing is in such contrast to the club’s inability to communicate regularly with supporters on the matters we care about.” ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social #LCFC

NEW: Blackburn Rovers 0 Leicester City 1 - Nope “Each of us had better things to do than write about how this lamentable Leicester City team won a meaningless match on the tenth anniversary of the club’s greatest achievement” #LCFC

thefosseway.netBlackburn Rovers 0 Leicester City 1: NopeMuch too little, much too late. A Stephy Mavididi goal may have secured all three points at Ewood Park but it doesn’t seem like anything to write home about. So we’re not going to.

It’s been a grim season, starting with the bizarre sacking of Miquel who had done a decent job last season with very limited resources (she managed to get the team to score goals). Unlike the men we’ve just lacked the quality to compete this year. And hard to find much reason for hope next season.

NEW: Jordan Ayew, ole ole… “A tremendous noise cascades down from the upper reaches of the second tier of the Leppings Lane end. You’d have to describe it as booing, but that feels like a comedic word, bringing to mind Punch and Judy on the seafront or wicked witches during panto season.” #LCFC
