  ..Charlton 2 City 0 - What the papers say (02/04/01)  
 


City have took a hammering from all sides in the press this morning with The Sun's goals supplement labeling Peter Taylor's Foxes "A joke"!

The Daily Star put it bluntly with the headline "Foxes' road to ruin", followed by, "This dismal display will surely lead to more fans questioning the wisdom of Taylor dividing his time between England and Leicester.

Harsh perhaps, but the lack of fight and chances, at The Valley will have been deeply upsetting for the travelling faithful. No lack of aggression from Charlton, though.

Their dominance was almost embarrassing."

Today's Telegraph continues with, "Certainly, it was a fitting day for Leicester to extend their sequence of successive away defeats to eight, their worst run for 14 years, because the performance from Peter Taylor's team was little short of a joke."

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any worse The Guardian hits you with "Leicester are made to look like April fools". And that was just the headline! The report makes much worse reading opening with, "Peter Taylor left the Valley clutching a match video that will not make pleasant viewing. His Leicester side deservedly suffered an eighth successive away defeat yesterday and find their European ambitions fading fast. From third on Boxing Day, they sit ninth after an April Fool's Day that gave them little reason to laugh."

They continued with, "On this form Leicester have no chance of making it into Europe. They mustered not a single shot on target and rarely threatened to equalise Andy Todd's first-half header."
