Belloumi
Pandur
Millar.
...
Either it was a massive pitch or we only had two midfield players because there were acres of space for Leicester to exploit all game? Big mistake. All we had to do at one nil up, and that was a gift, was to be professional, control the game, fill the midfield and hit them on the break. Sounds easy from where I'm sitting, I know.
But we do appear to be a bit under cooked and naive which is odd when we have so much experience in the squad.
Four weeks ago we were cemented in a guaranteed Play Off place, even talking of possible automatics.
Looks like the 'week off' at the last International break didn't do us any favours either.
As a club we have to be more professional because the way we have fallen off at the business end of the season is quite alarming.
 
McB
Panda
Crooks

Millar and Belloumi threatened a lot, but yet again, poor decision, poor deliveries, etc. Belloumi looked class ... but for what end result? At least Millar finished the gift; good job he did otherwise he'd of got rightly slated from not playing Gelhardt in. We are just so wasteful and tonight it has potentially cost us dearly.
 
1. McBurnie - Fought hard, got his goal, did a lot, I could have easily given it to Lundstram, but 90 minutes wins it!

2. Lundstram - I thought his passing was brilliant, did a good job, but terrible decision to replace him with Yu!

3. Crooks - Almost gave 3 to Belloumi, but only getting a half is not top 3 MOM! Should Crooks have played as much as he did? He did well tonight, so can’t really complain.

The rest, Millar, I said he’s the most frustrating player we have, but he does alright for an average Championship player. If he could finish or cross, he’d be in the PL!
Subs weren’t great, Gelhardt is better on the right, Koumas in the middle, Yu shouldn’t have been brought on, should have been Joseph, or anyone.
Ajayi, the second most frustrating player, looked great in the first half, great tackle in the second, but WTF was he doing for the second goal. This is why I don’t rate him.

Overall, we still have a chance, but I think it’s gone big time! 4 games in a row that we can’t get the second goal, 4 games in a row we’ve thrown a lead & not won!
 
Millar - shouldn’t have been subbed. Bad decision. He only gets things right maybe 25% of the time but when he does it can be devastating. His goal was superb and so was his pass for McBurnie’s

Belloumi - such a joy to watch. Was tearing them apart first half. Compare him to Koumas who was once again dog shyte and gave away the most moronic penalty imaginable. Should have been Joseph replacing Belloumi. Kyle has been chronically under-used.

Pandur - super save kept us in it.

Hey ho. If you tread water for too long, you sink. We have. Charlton will probs put us out of our misery. If not, I’ve no doubt Norwich will.
 
Belloumi. Our game and performance changed when he didn’t come back on the pitch at half time
Millar. Well taken goal, good assist and always a threat, but final ball still frustrating
Giles. Best positive of the night, impressed he managed 90 minutes. Best defender today

Hurts dropping out of play off position after so long, we’re running out of stream and yet again injuries and poor refereeing decisions/luck are not in our favour. It’s fair to say we’ve over achieved earlier in the season, but it is telling that non of the January signings are deemed good enough to start at this time of the season. Hope rather than expectations for wins in last 2 games now.
