No one can blame Ben Dawson for attempting to try something different in his first and only game in charge of Leicester. The interim manager named a very different side at Brentford, in shape and personnel, as the incoming Ruud van Nistelrooy watched from the stands. Unfortunately for him, Kevin Schade’s incredible hat-trick at the Gtech not only inflicted more misery on the visitors, who remain one point above the relegation zone, but proved their problems will require more than a simple formation change.
Van Nistelrooy’s first session with the squad will be on Sunday morning, Dawson confirmed and while the two will be meeting for the first time, he expects there will be a mix of analysis from the loss and looking ahead to West Ham.
