    Squad morale is blown to pieces, with no on-pitch
    leaders to cajole them into getting results of any kind.

    Coupled with a manager for whom they do not
    appear to fear the wrath of, in the case of defeat.

    How hollow the mocking of the likes of fat Sam,
    Dyche etc must sound right now.

    Picking injured players and playing people out of position while leaving fresh legs on the bench is madness.
    Postecoglou's not the only one to blame for our current mess, but a lot of it is his fault.
    We don't even have the energy to play his system, so he's not going to get results.
    I have no idea what point Levy is trying to prove by keeping him as our manager.

    Thoughts and prayers to him, and to Jakub Stolarczyk, who broke his ankles every time he jumped for the ball.

    That Postecoglou's been a wee bit unlucky, but that will soon change?

    I'm not directing this at Leicester in particular, but I've virtually lost interest in watching the Premier League because of this **** this season.
    It's reflected in my garbage prediction scores, too! <laugh>

    Whenever a team takes the lead or even if they're just one of the usual timewasters (Arsenal), they just feign injury every other minute.
    Every set-piece takes 2 minutes and then someone will just flop and the game stops. It's incredibly boring.
    I've no idea why the Premier League, who are all about the product, allow this to continue.

    I keep seeing pictures in my mind of Donald Trump sitting on his toilet with rolls of toilet paper thinking of crap to tell his lads what to do.I wonder if our manager does the same?In both cases.....God help us all!

    Well Maddison obviously wasn’t just “sore”, Paul O’Keefe reckons he’s out for 2-3 weeks.

    Can't remember what stream I was watching but the commentator was trying to justify why we might have needed seven minutes extra time. Sadly that amount of extra time is par for the course with some teams. With us you could easily claim it should have been far longer. Plus refs rarely add on enough time for wasted time in extra time. And even if the right amount is added on, there is a psychological impact on the players once 90 minutes is up.

    I've said it before but there needs to be independent timekeeping and everyone should know how much time there is left. I'm not claiming refs are bent in how they determine added time (they may be), but if the time added was seen, then there would be no accusations of such.

    But will it be Blackadder's cunning plan? I suspect it would more likely be Baldrick's cunning plan.

    He was definitely at the stadium, though, which makes it that much more odd
