    I've been saying that for a couple of weeks mate. We have to start playing with a little more intelligence.

    Thats the problem, but what can we do about it, stupidly lashing out unthinkingly is just falling into the trap, so we either play them at their own game or learn to control ourselves, reading about Jack Ross I think he would prefer the later. But we must work on something, it is after all, as important as defending a set piece, for that is exactly what it is.

    Mahrez won't be popular, bloody awful penalty. Wouldn't let him take another one ever considering his success rate.

    He got pushed over and then their player stands on his foot - causing him to lash out.

    There's no excuses for him, mate. He should have acted like a professional and stopped himself from lashing out. We are going to get roughed up in this league but it's up to us to not respond to it.

    Me too, well done RTB your a star, it was no pushover was it :embarrassed: , this is what we must expect in every game, the team looks far better organised now, but sterner tests lie ahead, and still some way to go before we can roll teams like this over, but its coming. <cheers>

    One slight concern would be that we have not played too many teams currently in the top half

    I thought Jesus would have took it. Cannot see Mahrez taking another for Man C.

    Thing is, he was fouled before he kicked out which meant it should’ve been a free kick rather than it bring “his fault” they got the pen. He shouldn’t have lashed out but it also shouldn’t have been a penalty. So had the linesman been doing his job, the free kick would’ve gone to us. He’d still have been sent off but the “if not for McLaughlin “ comment becomes redundant as we wouldn’t have needed the save

    No concern at all. Peterborough were worse than any other team I’ve watched us against so far this season! If that’s the best there is then I have no worries

    Yeah I don't think it matters much who we play, I believe we're the best footballing side in the league but any ****e team can disrupt that with physicality and shenanigans because we are vulnerable to that it seems. If anything it might be the case that we'll do better against the teams in the top half because it'll be a proper game and we can outclass them.

    This league seems to be erratic to say the least, and my feeling is this could be to our advantage, at least that's what I'm hoping for, but I love it anyway, and wish that all football was a bit like this, its never boring and seems more like it used to be, that's before TV stepped in and it was the peoples game, happy days.
