    2-2 final score, I'll take that. Especially after being down to 10 men.

    Still has us 8 points clear of Burnley.

    Oh and more importantly, 12 ahead of QPR.

    Good point. Mahrez has written himself into City folklore. Pleased with a draw away at one of our in-form rivals while down to 10 men.

    Happy enough with a point away at a ground we generally have a sh*te result at.

    Unbeaten runs continues

    Jeff Schlupp will get his chance at left back on Saturday now

    Happy with that ... keeps us unbeaten and helps make the quest for the chasing 5 one of increased pressure ... biggest problem was getting our goal attempts on target ... Nuge the biggest culprit as usual ... and my worries for Konch were unfounded ... at least in terms of him getting sent off for a foul on Paterson <whistle>

    BBC Sport's Owen Phillips at the City Ground: "Massive massive chance for Leicester to level. Danny Drinkwater did well down the right flank but David Nugent shot hopelessly wide from close range and how they may live to regret that as within a minute Paul Konchesky is shown a straight red card for a challenge on Jamie Mackie near the halfway line."

    I think Dyer's place in the team could be under threat for Saturday

    I think Schlupp and Mahrez could start instead of Konch and Dyer

    Good result for us, defiantly would have folded last year at 2-1 down and a man down.

    Good tactical changes too Nige!

    No points lost to Burnley, still 10 points ahead of the playoffs (so i guess technically we are a point worse off because of Derby winning, but) ,still happy <ok>

    Nigel showed alot of faith and trust in Riyad Mahrez to put him on while we was down to 10 men.

    Yeah, great result with ten men and it keeps Forest 13 points behind. Not a great result for you though; you have no chance of catching us now, so it would probably have been better that your rivals Forest got nothing. <ok>

    Just seen Davies on SSN.

    What a tit.

    Only way we won't meet next season is if we go down.



    You 'll need a couple of new centre halves mind.

    Yeah I think Wes would get found out in the PL.

    Solid Championship defender, but has his moments when you just despair.



    Moore will be going nowhere though. Really fantastic talent.



    Not sure who to go for if we were to be promoted. Lescott would be a great signing but he's going to be on a million a week.

    Where was anyone encroaching for their penalty? Davies is a right ol' t**t. Can't stand the bloke (even if he did play for us) moan, moan, moan!!!

    Bitter jimmy cranky. Excellent point and true grit and determination from the players not to get beat.
    Another game scratched off... 15 to go. Ugh it's painful lol

    Just saw the highlights. There's no evidence of any infringement (I paused it, but the far corner where Mahrez and James were is not on screen). I'm not sure about some of the other decisions either. Konch should have been booked, not sent off, as it's a one footed challenge. Their penalty's a strange one, as it's a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge on Morgan, who just goes down and kind of rolls into the ankles of the Forest forward, who goes down like he's been hit by a tank. Not sure it's deliberate by Morgan, but it was certainly **** defending. Most notable to me is that Darrow is very lucky Vardy scored - he lunges into Vardy with a two-footed challenge after Vardy has already shot. Darlow could have walked for that.

    In their favour, I think Patterson's effort was a shot and not just an attempt to play the ball forward. I think our peno was a bit soft too (but probably no softer than theirs, I wouldn't have given either).
