Former Leicester City striker, David Nugent has been discussing new man Conor Coady and his first games for the club.
Nugent was signed in 2011 and played his role as the Foxes were promoted from the Championship to the Premier League.
In four years the former England international made 159 appearances and scored 54 goals in that time.
His first Premier League goal for the club came in a famous 5-3 win over Manchester United.
What has David Nugent said about Conor Coady?
Coady signed for the Foxes from Wolves this summer. Due to injury has only been able to make two appearances.
He made his home debut for Leicester against Preston North End and impressed on the whole.
Nugent thought he had a tough start: “First home start and he was trying to force things a little bit.
“He gave two passes away and he was disappointed in himself. You can see in his reactions on the pitch that he was not happy.”
The former Wolves man has won the Championship, played in Europe and made many appearances for England. He sets his standards high.
After the nerves of the first half were done, Nugent believed he improved: “In the second half, you can see how calm he is.
“When the game opened up, he was so easy on the ball. He was standing with the ball sometimes like Vestergaard was against Blackburn.”
The thing that Coady adds is leadership and sets the standard.
On that, Nugent said: “He is a captain, he is a leader, he is a voice on the pitch and you need in these games to keep the lads going because it was frustrating at times.”
He will turn out to be a great signing. With what he adds on and off the pitch, that is likely to be the case.
