    Good game, proud of the lads, little decisions makes all the difference. Shooting practice top of the agenda TM.

    Thought there were a lot of positives, and we played pretty well. Another night we would have come away with something.

    This striker problem is becoming more and more paramount. Personally desperate to see Rusyn more involved.

    Disappointing not to get anyhong out of that - they'll easily win the league and we weren't far off them tonight. Shame that the usual perennial moaners will be loving it.

    Agreed. Neil, who was superb, was blowing. Really struggling.

    I don’t feel bad at all this evening. Thought we were by far the better side. With or without a striker. They had chances, but most of them, second half, were made by us. We created more, on another spray we win that. “Sensational Leicester team”. **** off you silly cow

    Getting bored of Mowbray now like. His subs are baffling at times. Relying on Jack to score screamers half the time.
    While the lad who was supposed to replace him sits top of Ligue 1

    That was a good game of football, disappointing result but they are a quality team n will romp the league this season.

    Yes theres frustrations with the subs tonight but we created chances, caused them problems n looked so much bettwr than we did against stoke

    Thought Neil was immense tonight, the boy is turning into an unreal CM n we will do well to keep him in January

    Love this team, they keep going n always try to make stuff happen

    Huge game on Saturday though as cant be losing 4 on the bounce in the league

    If he'd given them the stone wall penalty they should have had, it would have been 2-1... so...

    Just desperate for us to sort out this striker issue, hopefully one gets a goal soon and really cements their spot

    How minutes have they had?

    I'd of rather have seen Rusyn comin in on his right peg than Ba for that chance.

    It's obviously a work in progress but we play some lovely stuff don't we.

    Mowbray is juggling things as well as he can and trying to integrate new players who look bemused at times.

    But I think it'll click and we'll finish in the play-offs which is what I'd hoped for this season.

    I thought we were the best footballing team tonight. Goal was poor from us, they hit the post which was a worldie save from Patto. The chances they had second half weren’t recreated, they were given!. We created a lot, but we need a goal scorer. We currently don’t have one

    Only reservation is that our shooting was not what we could expect.

    A 'proper ' striker wouldn't come amiss.
    IF, he is already on the books, then play him.

    But, we gave the best side in this League a hell of a game, so no complaints from me.

    I don't think he is either but the more he does anything other than play Hemir and Rusyn the more it makes me wonder.

    I wouldn't mind if they did nowt when they came on but they both look good to me and both look dangerous especially Rusyn. Maybe an element of wishful thinking because we've seen **** all of them but I back myself to rate players well and I want to see them on the pitch based on what I've seen.

    bring Rigg on but don't pass the ball to him and worse shooting over the top last chance on Saturday for Mowbray and refs they should have had a pen in they 2nd half we got away with the shirt pull 6 wins 6 defeats now the Soton game seems months ago. And if we had a striker like say Ross stewart we would be up there not 9th.

    The sooner people realise he’s average at best the better. I always tell myself to just grow up and not bite but I can’t help it :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Good performance from the lads though. These ****s annoy me, claiming they’re the best team to ever play in the second tier and going on like self entitled ****ers after every game. Didn’t deserve to lose but we can take a lot from the performance. Their midfield consisting of a former CL finalist and arguably the best CM in the league yet ours were arguably better. Done everything right bar put the ball in the net - Roberts having some end product and a striker that starts firing would resolve that.

    Exactly you can only judge on what youve seen

    I really like rusyn, reminds me of broadhead so hope he gets a run out soon

    More positives than negatives tonight

    Now for 3 points on sat
