LEICESTER CITY OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER ROUND-UP
October was a fairly decent month, but November, on the other hand, was a complete write-off. A poor November (in which we only earned one point out of a possible nine) sees us languish in 17th place, and results have to improve if we are to push above that 9th place finish two seasons back.

[TD]Oct 1[/TD]
[TD]Middlesbrough (Home)[/TD]
[TD]2 - 0 (W)[/TD]
[TD]Overall impressive performance. Mane and Tom Lawrence with the goals. Dominated the game with 53% possession and 17 shots to just 4 against.[/TD]

[TD]Oct 15[/TD]
[TD]Chelsea (Home)[/TD]
[TD]2 - 2 (D)[/TD]
[TD]Excellent come-from-behind performance to earn a point against a Chelsea side who are among the favorites for the title. After Hazard and van Ginkel made it 0 - 2 at the half, Kramaric and Mane earned us a well deserved point.[/TD]

[TD]Oct 22[/TD]
[TD]Man City (Away)[/TD]
[TD]2 - 2 (D)[/TD]
[TD]Another terrific performance to earn a draw at Manchester City. Schneiderlin gave them the lead on the half hour mark, before Drinkwater and Knockaert made it 2 - 1 with about 6 minutes to go in the game. Unfortunately, we were only able to hold on to our lead for 2 minutes, when a Wilfried Bony strike ensured that points were shared.[/TD]

[TD]Oct 29[/TD]
[TD]Newcastle (Away)[/TD]
[TD]1 - 3 (L)[/TD]
[TD]We follow up three extremely impressive performances with a ****-show against Newcastle. While we did take the lead in the first minute through Knockaert, we were pretty much on the back-foot since then and were only able to register 2 shots all game. Newcastle had 20 of their own, and a Cabella hat-trick meant a defeat for us.[/TD]

[TD]Nov 5[/TD]
[TD]Aston Villa (Home)[/TD]
[TD]2 - 2 (D)[/TD]
[TD]Disappointed with the performance here. We had quite a few chances to kill the game off. After a Graziano Pelle goal to give them the lead, we hit back through goals from Knockaert and Bojan. Unfortunately, we were once again unable to hold on to our lead, as an injury time Pelle strike ensured that points were split. It looks like defensive reinforcements will be key come January.[/TD]

[TD]Nov 20[/TD]
[TD]Tottenham (Away)[/TD]
[TD]0 - 1 (L)[/TD]
[TD]A spirited defeat against a good Tottenham side. We pretty much held our own until the 70th minute, when a Kevin Mirallas strike was enough to get them three points. We had a few chances, but couldn't convert.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Nov 28[/TD]
[TD]Crystal Palace (Home)[/TD]
[TD]2 - 3 (L)[/TD]
[TD]A disappointing performance against Crystal Palace. Kasper Schmeichel has been having a stinker of a season thus far. Pretty much the Matthew Ryan of Leicester City it would seem.[/TD]
