New Leicester boss Ian Holloway was left almost speechless after a 2-0 win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The manager had almost no voice left at the end of a game which saw his team demonstrate all his own qualities of passion and commitment. Goals from Richard Stearman and Matt Fryatt punished out of sorts Bristol and even the late sending-off of Fryatt for an elbow on Liam Fontaine could not spoil Holloway's day. "I can't speak because I've not stopped talking for the last couple of days," he said. "But I can't tell you how proud I am of my players. Their work ethic was tremendous and I couldn't have asked for more. "I am very disappointed for Matt Fryatt for the sending off. I need to see it again on video, but I expect we shall appeal because it seemed no different to an earlier incident involving a Bristol player. "Matty didn't deserve to end the game like that because he was fantastic for us. But that went for the whole team."
