Basset was pretty pleased with Leicester's performance but still bemoaning our lack of ability to score goals. Good job Newcastle couldn't either. As he said to the Beeb,

"We can't score goals for love or money... they couldn't score in a brothel but that's not the thing to say." !

On the official site he reiterated with

""We can't score a goal for love nor money - there will be one heck of a celebration when we do "

Bassett continued with,

"I've told the players that I was pleased with their performance and really there was not much more they could have done in the match.

"It's very frustrating, especially 13 matches without scoring this season.

"We've let ourselves down earlier in the season by not showing the mental toughness to win a game but today I thought we were mentally tough throughout.

"I been a difficult week for injuries. Gunnlaugsson was going to Sheffield United on loan but now has an injury, Brian Deane damaged a calf muscle in training and now Ian Walker has aggravated his back.

"Perhaps the chairman or I have run over a black cat or something."

Magpies boss, Bobby Robson agreed that Leicester were the better team for a lot of the game, saying,

"It was probably our worst 45-minute performance of the season in the first half."
