    I said it before the game and ive seen nothing today to convince me otherwise.....we have seen the two best teams in this division today and i can see us and leicester finishing as the top 2 in the league this season. Slightly disappointed that we didnt take the chances that came our way but a good point all the same against a strong leicester side

    Leicester did very well today in closing us down and flooding the midfield forcing us to go long too often. Thought Bruce waited too long to change to 442, but end or the day a good point both keepers made good saves both teams could have won it if they'd taken one or their chances still 2nd, with plenty of worse teams still to play

    Typical boring Nige, packed the midfield to try and snuff the game out. When you saw Waggy coming on you thought he might be going for the win ... but no, just swapping him for Nugent to try and see out a draw. We didn't play all that well but thought we should've won it, thought Faye had scored if I'm honest. Get in a clinical striker and we'll be hammering teams. Aluko was knocking it round their defenders for fun and exposed Morgan on many occasions.

    P.s. That Knockaert lad joins Zaha, Bolasie and Taraabt on the list of diving girls blouses that have visited the KC.

    Thought he was Jay Tabb today. Shrieked like a puff when he got tapped.

    Simpson header and when he rounded the keeper should have been scored. All he has to do when he'd rounded the keeper was lift the ball.

    Oh well, still to see a team better than us in the Championship. Leicester were ok, sure they'll be in the top 6. We should have beaten them.

    Nige did his job, surely? Shut us down in midfield.

    If we had all the game, all the chances, how come we didn't win it? Could it have been cos he didn't let us? We were the 'in form' team, coming into the game, but NP's tactics neutralized us.

    Lesster desperate not to lose today. They have some good players and their defence is far more solid than their weak attack. A predictable draw in the circumstances and one we should lose no sleep over.

    A win v Leeds will make an acceptable points total before we get on with the 'normal' games again, and set about winning away effortlessly at places that the likes of Lesster only draw at.

    That's why we're going up.

    I didn't say it wasn't the best move for his team, just it was typical of Nige and I'm glad I don't have to witness 'pack the midfield' type football from City anymore. If he'd tried to be more adventurous we'd probably have picked them off with our players. We didn't have all the chances, they had a few, that Knockaert had a good chance which Jakupovic saved well, Gallagher threatened from that free-kick and Faye almost put one in our goal but we definitely had more clear-cut chances. Faye should've scored and Simmo probably should've had 2.

    I like Burnsys comment "uh is that Nigel bringing a striker on? I guess he is going for it. No, nope, he is bringing a striker off, typical Nigel, going for a draw."

    Rosenior. we play 4-4-2 every week pretty much so pretty hard to "pack the midfield" as you say with that formation. Remember just cos he was limited with the players he had at your place does not mean he plays the same way with us lol

    Burnsy gets excited easy, one of the reasons it is stressful to listen to him. Still, he got on Nigel quite a bit which was funny.

    Living in the past... as in, about an hour ago. I do take it as a compliment, many lower teams have come and played 1 up front, however, I thought a team who expected to be above us but are 7 points behind us might have shown a bit more ambition. If I were a Leicester fan I'd be disappointed on my drive home. For me, football is about entertainment more than anything, and Nige rarely provided it for us and you played a similar game to the one he did with us today.

    Another point added to the promotion tally.
    3 more please against Leeds, don't even look at the table just concentrate on winning games and picking up a point if we can't win like today.

    I love your fans. Half of you think he is a great coach, the other half want him fired for the same reasons the other half like him.
