Leicester are timing out the game and Ilkeston can't do anything about it. Nothing going our way. Kingsley- Smith booked for Leicester.

Matchman · 30/9/2017 2:48 PM

Harrison replaces Langham for Leicester on 90 minutes. It's finished 1-3. No complaints.

Disappointing result today after last Saturday. But football is a game of ups and downs and it is inevitable that sometimes games don't go to plan. Leicester Road have some good players and were worth their win. Nuno Gomes was outstanding and his first goal was a magnificent finish.
