U23s Live Talking Points: Fantastic Play, Hirst Off The Mark & Confidence Grows

Throughout the course of the 2019/20 season, the Blue Army can tune into live and free coverage of the Club's Under-23s on LCFC TV, the Club's official online TV station.

Last Friday, Admiral Muskwe and George Hirst struck for the Foxes, and St Ledger highlighted a collection of talking points from the fixture on the live U23s Live broadcast.

Fantastic play all round

Sean St Ledger said: "It was fantastic play all round. I think what Darnell Johnson and Sam Hughes did so well was being first to the ball. It was a fantastic through ball from Hirst for Muskwe's goal and a really confident, cool finish from the man himself. It was exactly what Leicester deserved after a good start to what was eventually a difficult match."

The best display yet

Sean St Ledger said: "The intensity went up and, for me, it was the best performance that I've seen the Under-23s play this season. It took until the 27th minute for Wolves to enter City's 18-yard box and that says it all for me. They had a five or 10 minutes where they came into the game, but Leicester otherwise contained Wolves really well."

Hirst plays it brilliantly 

Sean St Ledger said: "It was very good striker-play from Hirst to win the penalty, but it was poor from the centre-back. When you're playing against a bigger, stronger opponent, you have to accept it and play from behind sometimes. Once you get the wrong side, you're always in trouble, and Hirst played it brilliantly."

Off the mark

Sean St Ledger said: "I was delighted for Hirst to get his goal, it was fantastic for him. Strikers always want to get off the mark. He's a natural goalscorer and it doesn't matter if it's from a penalty, just get on the scoresheet. It's big for the squad in general as well because this is a result which shows them how good they can play."

A massive result

Sean St Ledger said: "This is massive for the Under-23s. It gives them something to build on going into the Arsenal match in a couple of weeks. If they play like this there - with the same intensity, hunger and desire - then they have every chance of getting another three points there. [Steve] Beaglehole will be delighted."
