Battling performance, defending for 90 minutes like that results in inevitable yellow cards though, not sure we were any more under pressure with 10 men, the goal a good finish from outside the box from a player we definitely can't afford...if we're replacing ainsworth it's now
Dozzell. From hero to zero in a few short mins. I think they came expecting an easy 3 points which meant the first half took them by surprise. Had we had 11 on the pitch, we might have hung on for the draw and, given the way they were playing, the win would not have been entirely unthinkable. As others have said, it's actually fair for GA to state it was an improved performance. It was but the bar is way too low! Dozzell needs to apologise to his team mates and to the fans.
Really good from every player, apart from Dozy. Rule #1: if someone pushes you, punches you, fouls you. You go down and play dead. Every single ****ing time!
If we'd managed to actually scrape a point or a miraculous 3, I would still have let him go and replaced him. Either way, we all know he's not the answer so bite the bullet, man up and part amicably
Players looked like they did give a ****. Dozy Dozell, what a plonker. Possibly cost us a point, we’ll never know. We’ve managed to make it harder for ourselves with no Dozy or Colback for next game at Rotherham. Time to change it up now. We need a new manager. We need him now. If it’s Xmas, it’s way too late, we’ll be done for. Heads will be too low. We don’t have any confidence as it is.
Half decent performance at times & why didn’t Dozzell go done when pushed instead of idiotic push on their bloke, ****ing madness, still grim & can’t see him staying on & hope board have sense to see it
Nobody in the bottom 11 managed to win a game. We are struggling in a really poor league. Surely you only need to be half-good to survive this season, in this league.
Simple. Neil Warnock. He's available and has already said he'd love to come back to us one day. He's the only manager that could save us this season. I wanted it done 3 games ago so it's even more urgent now. Before we sink any further and before Warnock gets snapped up by another struggler.
I feel for GA a bit today, he's been let down by an ill-disciplined idiot again. His management of Willock is nothing short of catastrophic though.
Today in isolation was fine. Dozzell killed us but no one really cares if we lose gallantly to Champions Leicester. On the back of five defeats in a row, 8 points from 13 and however many wins it is since he’s been here I think everyone is done and we can’t afford to have him **** up Rotherham. Thought they were awful relative to the sum of the parts but that was more complacency than anything and it’s our fault for not punishing that when we had the chance second half to take the game to them. I really felt like they didn’t fancy it and were getting a bit stroppy with a ref more than happy to give them a decision every 30 seconds until Dozzell idiocy.
His management of Armstrong is none too clever either. Hauling him off when we needed a goal the other week. Continually dropping him when he's the only player who shows any hunger and puts the opposition under pressure.
I thought he was starting. Assume he got a knock warming up. I know he’s the great hope but the kid should be an impact sub. We just have no one else.
Been out all afternoon, kept an eye on the score and comments on our whatsapp group...... Dozzell really is a dozy git...... ffs as a team our discipline is appalling, 4 red cards in 14 games, 2 players band for 5 yellow cards....... Sounds as if we deserved a point but wasn't to be, maybe if it stayed 11 v 11, but was always likely to end in tears when down to 10...... Have to win at Rotherham next week........
At least today showed that the players do give a ****. Leicester seemed to think that we didn’t belong on the same pitch as them, but if it hadn't been for Dozzell's utter stupidity we could well have got something out of the game. Smug ****ers didn’t deserve their win. Field was immense.
I plucked up courage to go to the game and am glad that I did so. We played really well with a disciplined defence and, unusually, we even managed to show some attacking intent. Incredibly, there were shots on target (I'd almost forgotten what they were)! There were some very good performances and the team genuinely worked very hard indeed. Then dozy Dozzell did his thing. How many morons do we have in this team? We have some good players but a thin squad; however, the reinforcements today did themselves proud. Nevertheless, plucky defeats are going to do us no good and that's all I can see ahead for us under this manager. I stayed and clapped the team off at the final whistle for the first time in many, many months.
Another loss, stupid Dozzell. Defo a yellow and definitely a 2nd yellow. Colback was also desperate to get sent off again. Leicester were very lose I thought and were over confident in their passing. My biggest fear about this game is that Ainsworth will be buzzing with this defeat. His own admission that he only uses 2 formations about sums him up.
