Leicester City also featured at least 7 first teamers in Weslowski who scored two, De Vries, O Grady, Mmcauley, Porter, Dodds and Sheehan. plus senior Youth Team players replacing them. (Your Youth Teamers looked distinctivley younger) Stags who gave a run out to a few 1st team squad plus lots of youth teamers certainly played there part in this lively and at times ferocious fixture certainly came out with some credit, however as two goals came from Corner scrambles, the defensive part of the game could be have been a bit tidier. Midfield looked neat and tidy, with some football better passing than the Foxes offered at times. Up front Stags looked quite nifty at times but once they had gone behind with the scrambles it looked over, however we were quite impressed with the effort, application, and football at times was very good from Stags (forget the result - without the scrambles it would have been 2 - 1) John Street via the Fox ------------ Stags lose behind closed doors friendly at Leicester City This was taken from the official Leicester City website - http://www.lcfc.co.uk Wesolowski Stars in Reserve Triumph James Wesolowski came through 90 minutes of action as a Leicester City XI posted a convincing 4-1 victory over Mansfield Town in a behind closed doors friendly on Tuesday afternoon.
