    TAKING CHANCES

    I don't know how many chances we had in the first half, but I do know that every single one went blazing over the bar. In games like the Leeds at home where chances don't come too often we need to be scoring. Drinkwater and James were particular culprits, both missed clear chances that would have seen us win more comfortably.

    JAMIE VARDY

    This lad looks totally different. He has an extra yard of pace, an extra spring in his jumping and looks a bit sronger on the ball. He's also got better first touch. Easily MOTM for me, looks good.

    PLAYING POOR

    We've still not hit top gear. We've not had an easy start (has anyone?) but we're picking up points and that can only be good. This is also the third time we've come back from 1-0 down this season. This is clearly a closely knit side (as the celebrations for the 2nd goal showed).

    NIGEL PEARSON

    Didn't get the formation right at the start but made exactly the right changes at half time and we looked so much better in the second half. The 4-3-3 with three centre forwards just doesn't work. It offers absolutely no creativity. Credit where its due, he made the difference.

    Can't really argue with that, at least we can mix things up this season.

    We are at our best in a 442 formation, Lloyd Dyer changed the game today

    Jamie Vardy worked very hard but just my opinion he lacks intelligence at times. Great for him to get the goal though and I thought Nugent did very well coming deep and creating chances for the team

    Drinkwater was woeful and what the hell has happened to Chris Wood? Nothing like the player we signed

    Pretty damn fine summary AKCJ ... especially with regard to Vardy - if he gets one every two games in the league all season we'll be there or there abouts - and of course he was largely responsible for the OG against the sheep worriers...

    In the same game last season (it was only in April http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22036929) David Nugent conceded a penalty in the 90th minute for Birmingham's Chris Burke to equalise. This time around he scores a 90th minute penalty to put Leicester 3-1 up. Burke's stoppage-time goal not enough this year. Funny circumstances, but there's a positive for you :)
