We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Leicester and Bournemouth.

Here are some of your comments:

Leicester fans

Nigel: Great win. Faes was outstanding. A positive result which hopefully the team can now build on and climb the table. Well done the whole team and Stevie Cooper.

Vin: Excellent first half and deserved lead for Leicester. Baffling second-half display and were fortunate Bournemouth didn't get back into it. Not enough closing down and tackles put in and playing out from the back encouraged Bournemouth to press. Must have a full 99-minute display, Mr Cooper.

Pravin: A win is a win for the Foxes. Rode our luck second half but three points and a clean sheet is a plus. It will be a game to build, hopefully. Cooper needs to get a first XI in his mind to start every game.

Trev: OK, a win - but nowhere near good enough. Like someone said last week, Cooper was a bad decision. The sooner he is replaced the better chance we have of staying up. Leave it much longer and it will be too late.

Bournemouth fans

Steve: Weak up front again - not taking chances when on top. It is frustrating because they do play with some style.

Jon: Evanilson isn't Solanke. We need the players to realise that and start playing to his feet rather than smash it up there and lose the ball because he hasn't got the physicality of Dom. When they realise that we will create more chances and might even score.

Chris: Appreciate that the forwards we have could be great once they have settled in, but we could have done with a recognised striker in there and now to replace Solanke. But, in Iranoi we trust. Still a long way to go.

Richard: Toothless without a goalscorer. Long season ahead, methinks.
