    Boro red card
    Stoke handball and no pen
    Leicester no pen

    Getting ridiculous now

    Agree, we’ve got to give Rusyn more than the last 10 mins, think he could help it click in the final third. Adil would have been a good option too, had he been available

    Gets fouled on the linesman's side. Why isn't he watching? Why isn't he flagging?

    Someone within the club needs to compile all these ref errors and contact the FA, crank up the pressure on them and perhaps the FA will notify the next ref that they can't **** up again against us.

    Every little helps *tap tap*

    dan neil was chatting to the officials after the whistle blew... hope we see him on for the 2nd half.

    good half i thought, could have been level, 2-0 down or even winning with luck somewhere..think onien was watching vestergard(sp) but in all honesty they should all be able to track a ball in flight and be there to meet it, rather than being outjumped by at least 2 feet then looking around to pass the blame.

    trying to push leicester back is pointless, they play on making the quick break and turn around, probably the best in europe...burstow, sorry lad, but you have had chances and i will admit you have worked well but i can't see it working for you here, should see rusyn on soon i reckon but we need someone making the right runs.

    Yeah I'm not really seeing what Burstow is bringing to the table. He doesn't seem remotely threatening, reminds me a bit of James Vaughan. I don't think he's got the instincts, I've said it before but he's always behind the defender not nipping in front at the right time.

    I'd like to see Rusyn on, I think he'll press from the front even better than Burstow and might well get on the end of something.

    What game are you watching? Bellingham fluffed a bigger chance than they’ve had all game, we’ve been the better team.. yet again set pieces are our Achilles heel. There’s only really the Iheanacho shot which Patto tipped on the post that I’d say they should’ve scored.

    I wonder how much of the training regime involves defending corners. and free kicks

    I think he does make runs occasionally, but our attackers are not on the same page as each other. Clarke and Roberts would much rather beat 2 men running down a blind alley, than play a first time pass to the striker. Clarke you can forgive because more often than not, he's direct and has an end product. Roberts is becoming increasingly frustrating for me. He's a talented footballer no doubt, but he slows down so many of our attacks, doesn't pick a good option and invariably his final ball is lacking.

    Either Burstow is not very good...or he's being asked to do something he's not at all used to. Chelsea have a recall clause on him. So they must rate him. <confused>

    Common sense tells you “look at the direction of the ball and the reaction of the defending players around the ball.”

    If you are looking and aren’t sure, the reaction of Fass and the lad closest tells you everything you need to know! Ridiculous
    Contradiction in terms there. Either they should ge out of site, or both teams have had chances to score? I personally think they’ve had 2 very good chances, both saved, we’ve had as many and a stonewall penalty turned down. How should they be “out of sight”?

    Zonal marking. In other words, you mark a zone, which is what onien did. Player was not in that zone. I disagree with the tactic, but he did his job, it’s up to Jobe once he enters that zone.

    just showed 3 chances we should’ve scored. And a penalty we should’ve had. So the “out of sight” comment is ridiculous mate.unless Leicester should be 7-4 up?

    Watching the game via the Leicester stream and at half time they have said that was the hardest 45 minutes ant team has given Leicester this season. Let's not give up hole yet, not only for this game but the season.
