I think that the speed of the Leicester press caused the panic and mistakes. In midfield we tried the tippy tappy football we're good at, but rushed it so we didn't get caught in possession. One of their golden chances came from an attempted quick pass in the final third which was picked off by a Soton player who was only a few yards away from the one of ours who tried the pass - didn't look up before passing it. No, I can't recall who.

No wonder we struggled on Friday, facing players from both Leicester and Southampton ;)

This is the league table from the end of August when the transfer window closed and the rats could no longer hurt us.

1) Leeds P30....67 pts
2) Leicester P30....66 pts
3) Ipswich P30....63 pts
4) Saints P30....57 pts

Now we just need to be the best team in the division for the remaining 12 games.

It's more Piroe never gets in the same sort of positions as Bamford

Different styles. Look at the difference when Bamford came on Friday night.

Piroe plays lower then Bamford, almost trying to win the ball and turn towards the goal.

Bamford plays higher up with the expectation that balls will come in from wide for him to get onto. Even if Bamford doesn't Leicesters defenders suddenly had a whole different problem to deal with.

yeh I think it's a combination of the above and as Jambo say's, Leicester scoring first setting the pattern of the game. It was concerning how easily they forced errors and capitalised (or nearly capitalised!) on them.

Morning all. Don't see what all the fuss is about the Leicester coaches comments. Of course it was a huge game for us and they are still six points clear. Move on. I mentioned it already but at last the Elland Road cauldron seems to be affecting the opposition instead of us. Current squad are revelling in the atmosphere as it should be

Totally agree Eire.

I don't care what the oppo manager says pre or post games. Every game for us is big as it is for Fester unless they are not bovvered about getting promoted.

Everton’s points deduction reduced to six. A farce
Click to expand...
I Was actually stunned when they got away with only ten, Couldn't believe that they actually appealed that, then thought if it's looked into again they would get the correct fiteen point deduction, so Reduced to just six proves cheating pays off in a big way in football, i am totally gobsmacked.
Now if that was us !!!!!

Cashed up clubs like newcastle must be thinking, spend loads on quality players and take a six point deduction.
It might hamper them for one season, but after that they will be fine.
