    Seems to have coincided with Firpo regaining his place at LB, ahead of Spence (and Byram).

    Not only is Firpo is more natural on the left side than Spence, but he seemingly doesn't have the attitude problem either. And whilst he might not be the best defensively, he is a threat going forward. And most Championship teams aren't good enough to expose his defensive game regularly enough anyway.

    TBH the way that match went it's a minor result for us that Leeds only won 1-0. GD could be huge at the end of the season.

    We don't get this kind of love-in from the commentators. What is with this coverage? :D

    Spence fell out with Farke, and was sent back to Spurs!

    For all their firepower there are games, like tonight, when they don’t take enough advantage of the chances they create. Should have absolutely smashed Brizzle.
    A bit like us earlier in the season.

    Those games happen, but so long as you still get the 3 points that’s all that matters. Leicester have smacked a few teams but have won a lot of games by just one goal too!

    Spence was a waste of time, apparently turning up late for training, complaining when not picked and a bad influence in the dressing room. Ampadu has dropped into his favoured CB position alongside Rodon and Gruev and Kamara CM that’s the difference for me. Last 5 games in the league teams have a total of just 6 shots on target.

    Spence has always been a massive ****, another Big I am and will only ruin his career because he thinks he doesn't need to put in any effort idiot.

    Going to be a very tight end to the season now. D DAY on the final day should make for some behind the sofa viewing.

    That west Brom game for Ipswich will be hella tough, lose that and us amd Leeds win and I think they'll just completely fall away.

    Their new signing Moore came off the bench and scored twice today. Bit worrying. He could be a real difference maker for Ipswich.
