Matty James says Leicester City should be more clinical
Leicester City must become more clinical, insists Matty James.
The midfielder said that a lack of a killer instinct and bad luck cost them their FA Cup place at the hands of Huddersfield on Tuesday. But he believes City will soon bounce back to the kind of form they displayed in January, when they won five consecutive league games.

Leicester City's Matty James in action against Huddersfield
James said he didn't feel there was too much wrong with City's performances in the 2-1 defeats by the Terriers.
"At times, I thought we played some good stuff," he said.

"We discussed in the dressing room how we weren't clinical enough. When you are not clinical teams can punish you. They had one or two chances and took them. If we don't take our chances then we are to blame.
"We have been unlucky in our last two games. The performances have been decent but we haven't been clinical enough.
"I don't think there is a problem because, if we keep making the chances, then at some point we are going to take them.
"We have to just make sure that if we aren't taking the chances we are more solid at the back."
James said there was an element of good fortune about Sean Scannell's winner for Huddersfield on Tuesday.
The striker picked up the ball on the halfway line and was able to race towards the City box. He cut inside both James and Paul Konchesky before slipping the ball between goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's legs.
"He is quite quick and strong," said James, who tried to shepherd Scannell down the touchline.
"I have shown him the line to keep him on his left foot. Konch has come across and it has ricocheted back to him. He has the momentum in front of me and put it through Kasper's legs. There was an element of luck about it."

“Geoff what a silly post not at all like you. I went to see Marty Wilde at the Embassy and at 74 he still has a great voice. It's best to see any old stars like him as you don't know how long they'll still be around. I went walking the Gibralter Point nature reserve this afternoon. was a lovely day very rare for that neck of the woods. Im off to Egypt again in a fortnight and Spain in May. I live a full life and am out most days and nights. My life friend does not revolve around Leicester City or even football. You like others who do sod all else might find that strange but it's called living you should try it a little.”

“Interrupting the tazzyboy/dobbo show for a moment, I went to Skeggy, like everyone else from Leicester, as a kid. Then I grew up and saw the world. Unless you're a fan of tea dances why would anyone competent enough to inform us of out footballing ignorance go to Skeggy in 2013? I think we should be told. A secret liason with a bingo-caller or an ice-cream seller who once put some sprinkles on his 99? I don't live near Leicester anymore, dobbo, but I think I make more away games than you do home ones. Stick to Skeggy and end-of-the-pier shows.”

“Get em all the time Tazzy. I'm off to Skeggy of all places for the weekend there's a show I want to see. Have fun seeing Huddersfield take our place in an exciting Cup game on Sunday. The owners should make NP and the players go watch them in the stands and ponder as to why they all shunned the occasion in such obvious manner.”

“Tazzy you were saying Matty was insulting saying the team played well and you went on to say exactly how it was in reality. I just agreed.”

“Lack lustre performance,and we never looked like being able to control the game. Very frustrating to watch. If we play like that Tuesday evening, we will lose. We have already lost our way.
Come on NP, sort it out.
I want my Leicester back.”
