    Weird half we are both unlucky not to be level, but could easily be 2 down

    So frustrating cos this team with Amad. We are missing that bit of magic around the edge of box.

    Roberts has gone off a cliff.

    The officiating recently is really driving me away from this sport. They go on about wanting respect but how about they show some respect to the players and paying customers and do their jobs for once.

    fair, but the defender was on the other side so its still hard to see in real time.Its always hard with the ones where the ball goes in the direction it would have done if the defender had played it. makes almost like an optical illusion that he played it.

    Despite being 1 nil down and Leicester having some chances I still feel we are well in this.

    Burstow is a concern though, he just doesn't seem to have that strikers instinct

    Soft goal aside I’m content with that, 100% a pen on Neil who makes such a difference to this side, they are very good when they go forward but I think we can get something here

    You don't those kind of penalties against the greatest ever 2nd tier side. Jokes aside, apart from that soft goal, we've been ok.

    Been well in this game, corners are our Achilles heel at the moment, Patto with two top saves, lino has to give a penalty there.....but when your lucks out..
    Put a lot into that half hope we've still got legs until TM brings out the subs.

    Think we've held our own a bit against these and getting the rub off the green with them hitting the post twice. Playing better than we did against Stoke! Burstow off and Rusyn on for me

    Yeh I'm sorry to those who like him but I don't get Burstow at all

    I do wonder if its a confidence thing and what he'll be like once he gets a goal.

    But I'd genuinely go back to playing no striker, move Jobe up top and put Pritchard on instead. But I'm saying that having not watched any of the game from the weekend

    Played well 1st half

    Shockinb goal to concede but playing some good stuff n causing them problems. 2 cbs have to make sure 1 is the last man as both stepping ahead of the fullbacks, fullbacks got to tuck in closer at times

    I like burstow as a player but he looks so far off it tonight, working hard but think hes lost it every time its been played into him - id be getting rusyn on for his pace

    Roberts looks nowhere near the player he was last season

    Ekwah is a joy to watch at times n great to have neil back in the team

    Think Patto had something to do with both those shots.

    Burstow not what we needed. Needed someone ready to impact season while our others settle in. Hope he proves me wrong ofc
