Pearson hopes for more away cheer

22 February 2010 16:25
Pearson has praised the Foxes for drawing on "a cow field" at the weekend, his side holding Plymouth Argyle 1-1 at Home Park to remain sixth in the table.[LNB]They have games in hand over the teams chasing them for a play-off place, and one of them comes on Tuesday night as they tackle Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium.[LNB]Initially scheduled for December 28, the game was postponed due to a frozen pitch.[LNB]Snow has become the latest threat to the fixture, and on Monday Doncaster were appealing for fans to come down to the stadium, ideally with a shovel, to assist groundstaff in clearing the pitch.[LNB]There may therefore be another difficult surface awaiting the Foxes on Tuesday night, but after their experience in Devon, Pearson's side should be prepared.[LNB]Reflecting on the weekend's clash, Pearson said: "It was the sort of game we would like to be winning but it was very difficult on an awful pitch.[LNB]"We did defend well and had a bit of luck from some rebounds but that is how it goes.[LNB]"What we have to do is build on the positives.[LNB]"We showed a lot of commitment and drive."[LNB]Doncaster were disappointed to lose to QPR on Saturday, having strung together wins over Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday since they drew against Tuesday's opponents on February 9.[LNB]They occupy a mid-table position, well clear of the relegation zone but unlikely to have any interest in the race for play-off places.[LNB][LNB] Doncaster 6/4, Leicester 15/8, Draw 9/4
