    Dunno I think they've enough quality that they could have at least tried for a second. Playing the way they did made this almost inevitable imo.

    Not saying it was the right thing to do but it's natural to try and protect what you have in that situation.

    People think our fans are negative I've just seen a post on Foxestalk saying us and Leeds will finish in the top two <yikes>

    They'll still win the league comfortably for my money. Be astonished if they didn't hit 100 points.

    Leicester have played 6 games without Ndidi this season. They've lost 3 of them.

    He's out for the next 3 months.

    Hopefully we win today and put us a little closer to them.

    Just a massive player for them. Fatawu will be suspended for the next 3 games too now.

    And Maresca has a touchline ban in the next game: Ipswich.

    Yes but last thing we need is for Ipswich to win!

    True. But if it brings Leicester back to only 7 points ahead of us, that's pretty tempting.

    It's a no lose situation, plenty of games left to make up 7 points especially if we can keep unbeaten but Ipswich dropping points is good too.

    Nah. Can't think about 1st yet. Overtaking and then staying ahead of Ipswich has to be the priority at the moment.

    Turns out it was a good job Martin didn't get MOTM. The curse strikes again!
